    We had a fantastic afternoon with our family on the glass bottom boat tour. There were plenty of fish to see and the weather was perfect to see all the islands and caves. The staff were fab with loads of local knowledge and a few laughs. Robyn lived up to the nickname “The fish whisperer “. I highly recommend this to families with children of any age, there is something for everyone!

    What an amazing experience we had on the glass bottom boat today. The captions were so friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We had great visibility, and it was wonderful being able to experience the beauty around Goat Island in the winter.

    Nice trip with lovely crew. Great way to see the reserve in the winter without having to get wet. Lots of large snapper and Moki, we even saw an eagle ray. Worth waiting for a fine calm day as the visibility was good.

    Had a group of family members for our boys birthday. Was an amazing experience! The captain went above and beyond for our kids and gave them a memorable experience. The staff is very knowledgeable about the fish and surrounding area, caught it on a beautiful day. Made great memories here. Will highly recommend.

    It was awesome, did the late booking (3pm). Wasn't a hot day or too cold. Knowledgeable staff, it was a full and noisy boat so maybe a microphone so the skipper can be heard. Took plenty pictures. Time flies so quickly.

    Goat Island Marine Reserve

    WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO SEE? As an open reserve – meaning there are no barricades keeping marine life in or out of the Reserve – the species we encounter change daily. Weather and sea conditions also affect the movements of marine life through the reserve – you never know what you will see! Fish living in the reserve include Snapper (GIANT), Blue Maomao, Parore, Red Moki, Goatfish, Leather Jackets, Sweep, Silver Drummer, Spotties, HiwiHiwi, Marble fish, Eagle Rays, and Stingrays. Sometimes we even see Dolphins, Orca, Whales, and Seals! Other marine life includes Kina, Kelp, Seaweeds, Sponges, and Anemones. Birds include Pied Shags, Red-Billed and Dominican Seagulls, Blue Penguins, Reef Herons, Terns, Gannets, and Petrels.

    Duration 50 minutes

    Goat Island Marine Reserve

    We will be cruising to the back of Goat Island and have a look at some amazing caves! Few people get to experience the caves as they're only accessible by boat. There are several caves to visit including the Famous "Key Hole" Let the Adventure begin!

    Duration 10 minutes

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
