4.6 star rating We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.

Highlights

Dive in two marine reserves; Goat Island and Tawharanui
Beautiful marine life
Suitable for all levels of certified divers

See sting rays, snapper and perhaps even a dolphin or a shark too, on this full day dive experience taking in Goat Island and Tawharanui. See parts of the reserves not accessible from the shore, and witness the true wildness of the reserve away from the crowds.

What's Included?

Two tank dives
Dive gear, thanks and weights
Boat charter
Full safety briefings

Explore New Zealand’s first ever marine reserve, Goat Island, on this one day charter. Dive this reserve and see areas unreachable from the shore and witness the wild side of Goat Island. Then, head to Tawharanui Marine Reserve, a 400 hectare marine reserve with flourishing marine life. You won’t have to swim far to find a nest of crayfish.

You’ll meet at the provider’s dive centre headquarters in the morning for your safety briefings before heading out for a full day. Bring your own lunch to enjoy in a sheltered bay out on the water.

Please note this experience is for certified divers only. If you have not dived within the last 12 months you will need to contact us about a refresher course.
