Snorkeling at Goat Island will be an experience you will never forget.

Come and experience the amazing underwater world of Goat Island, New Zealand's first Marine Reserve.

Having been protected from fishing for over 30 years, the island is a haven for marine life allowing you to get up close and personal to a vast array of fish including Snapper, Parore and Blue Maomao.

Positioned just 100 meters from the beach, with a maximum depth of just 8 meters and calm crystal clear waters, this stunning environment makes for a safe snorkeling location that all the family can explore.

Your experienced guides with PADI Gold Palm 5 star rating, have excellent knowledge of this subtropical paradise and will take you to the reserve hotspots helping you to make the most of your underwater adventure.

This guided snorkeling experience is ideal for those with no snorkeling experience or for those who would like to enhance their skills.

For any members of your group that don't want to get wet, there's still plenty to see and do in this beautiful region on the Matakana Coast, including exploring the rock pools, watching the fish dart through the channels or just laying back and relaxing on the pristine beaches taking it all in.

    Sehr schön

    Wirklich ein schönes Abenteuer, für den Preis sehr günstig. Nach etwa einer Stunde "geführter" Schnorcheltour kann die Ausrüstung behalten werden und auf eigene Faust nochmal geschnorchelt. Wir hatten das Glück, nur zu zweit zu sein, der Guide war sehr freundlich und hat uns viele Tiere gezeigt.
