Helpfulness
The Rock at Kanumera Bay, is a sacred area and although it is ideal for snorkelling around its base in the crystal clear waters, The Rock is sacred ground to the local villagers who believe that the souls of their ancestors are now the plentiful "Striped T-shirt" snake.
As a mark of respect I would suggest that you do not climb onto this rock....not to mention the hundreds of snakes that inhabit the island! the snakes are docile however if they are provoked into attack they will prove to be deadly!
