Rainbow Reef

About this site

Rainbow Reef lives up to its name with the most spectacular collection of soft corals on Earth - purples, oranges, pinks, and yellows cover every surface. Located in the nutrient-rich Somosomo Strait, this reef has shown remarkable resilience to coral bleaching and hosts an astonishing diversity of fish and coral species.
