The reserve’s location at the convergence of two major ocean currents creates unique ecological conditions that nurture three inter-dependent marine habitats; mangroves, sea grass beds and coral reefs. The coral reefs found within Kiunga are comprised of mainly patch reefs, with fringing reefs in the northern part. Vegetation includes Microscopic marine plants and dugong grass, coastal scrubland and mangrove swamps.
Visitors can enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling, sun bathing, water skiing and mangrove tours. The most rewarding time for snorkeling over the coral reef is two hours either side of low tide. This is the time when the greatest amount of marine life is revealed including the endangered sea dugongs and turtles that live here.
