New Zealand's first marine reserve, and one of the most magical places to put your face in the water. We bring schools and groups here for a snorkelling day they never forget.
Set aside decades ago so the sea could simply be itself, the Goat Island Marine Reserve teems with life. Snapper drift past at arm's length and kelp forests sway below, all in clear, sheltered water that is ideal for first time snorkellers.
This is snorkelling as a Saltwater Eco service for schools and groups, the perfect pairing with our eco kaupapa. Students come away having seen a healthy ocean up close, and understanding a little more about why we protect it.
Looking for regular, scheduled lessons you can book online? Our Te Arai home break, just up the coast, has live availability all year round.
We reply within one business day.
