Discover Scuba - Goat Island (Leigh)

Our Discover Scuba course is a great introduction to first-time divers wanting to learn the basic skills needed to scuba dive safely. The dive takes place at Goat Island, New Zealand’s first established marine reserve, just an hour north of Auckland. The water here is perfect for your first underwater experience – safe, sheltered and calm.

On your dive, expect to see a huge diversity of sea life – huge crayfish, stingrays, big snappers, blue mao mao, goat fish spotties, king fish and heaps more!

This diving experience accounts for a third of your PADI open water course and will involve one or two dives. It is taken by our tour manager Steve who is a 110% passionate, fully qualified master scuba diver (mdst) with 6 years’ experience on nearly 3000 dives. This activity is run in association with Goat Island Dive.

Day Trip to Cape Reinga via 90 Mile Beach

Two of the biggest must-sees of New Zealand - Cape Reinga, the Northern-most tip and 90 Mile Beach (actually about 60 miles long).

Thi day trip departs from Ahipara and involves a bus journey up the full length of Ninety Mile Beach, stopping to see the rugged views of the West Coast. You will get to go Sand Boarding at the Giant Sand Dunes of Te Paki, drive up the infamous quicksand stream, and head up to Cape Reinga where you will walk to The Lighthouse and take in the panoramic views of where the Tasman meets the Pacific.

Lunch, (which is provided), is at the picturesque Tapotupotu Bay where, if time allows, you will be able to take a quick dip. The way home takes in the East Coast and Rarawa Beach, the white silica sand beach. One of the highlights is the guided tour of the Gumdiggers Park - well worth the visit! You will end the day at the Kauri Kingdom and then back to your accommodation at approx 5pm.

Swimming with Dolphins - Paihia

Swimming with dolphins can be a life changing experience - take this incredible opportunity to swim with dolphins in their natural environment.

This intimate half day cruise seeks out the many playful dolphins within the sheltered waters of the Bay. Join the crew in searching for those tell tale splashes as Tutunui (our wee boat) gets in really close; jump into the warmest waters in New Zealand and snorkel with these majestic and inquisitive creatures – an experience you will never forget!

Our purpose built dolphin vessel gets you closer – with a low viewing deck, water jet engines, underwater microphone and experienced crew with an intimate knowledge of dolphin behaviour. And with a maximum number of 35 passengers onboard it means that this is a very upclose and personal experience.

Snorkels, masks, fins and wetsuits provided!
