Located in Leigh (just one hour north of Auckland), the Goat Island NZ Glass Bottom Boat is a popular, fully commentated 45-minute tour showcasing the area’s abundant marine life, fauna, birds, reefs and caves.
During the trip, guests learn about the history and preservation of New Zealand’s first marine reserve. The 49-seat glass bottom boat “Aquador” runs multiple trips daily between September and June, departing from the beach at Goat Island Marine Reserve.
Tours run pending weather and sea conditions, and marine life varies with each trip – while there are always fish, it’s not unusual to see dolphins, whales and orcas during the trip! Kayak & snorkel hire available on the beach.
Bookings are recommended.
