Overview

New Skills
As you gain confidence in the water, you might want to start to pushing your limits and seeing what more you can achieve. With this in mind, it is important to expand your knowledge and understanding to keep safe in the water.

Equalizing
Pressure under the water increases as we descend so it is important to learn how to balance this pressure.

Holding your Breath
Increasing your breath-hold time takes practice - you don't have to be in the water to train!

Clearing your Snorkel
There are a few different ways of clearing a snorkel, once you crack the technique you'll be much more comfortable.

Itinerary

Snorkeling Goat Island is one of the top 10 things to do in Auckland.
Advance your snorkeling skills and learn how to duck dive under the surface, equalize your ears and clear your snorkel. You will be part of a natural aquarium, myriads of fish and marine life.
You will meet at our Goat Island Dive and Snorkel Center. Here our friendly staff will fit you out in your equipment which is provided: mask, snorkel, fins, a wet suit and weight belt.

You will then drive in your own vehicle 3km to the Goat Island Marine Reserve. Here you will meet with your Instructor.

The experience starts with tips advanced snorkel techniques, and proper freediving breathing practice. We share the history of Goat Island and introduce you to the marine life you are likely to meet at New Zealand's first marine reserve. After your full and thorough safety briefing, we'll head down to the water and begin the tour! Along the way we will stop and put our new techniques into practice, getting you comfortable underwater and hopefully extending the length of your freedivers.

After the tour you will be able to use the equipment for the remainder of the day, so you can keep practising and enjoying the reserve.

    Great place to see marine life in a short time. The snorkeling is shallow and easy to navigate and this area is a gem in terms of marine life in a shorter distance. Guide helps point out things that you would have missed and the price includes rental so good value. You can also stay the day and snorkel more if you want. Perfect options for a range of beginner to advanced snorkeling.

    This was an incredible experience and very good value for money.We had a great guide who was very patient when showing us how to dive and who pointed out fabulous sea creatures. We were lucky enough to see sting and eagle rays !

    Really cool tour, especially if you want to learn something about the reserve and fish & are not super confident about snorkeling on your own! Super friendly staff & overall just a great experience!

    Winny took us out for the advanced snorkeling experience. She was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was so lovely having her lead us and share her knowledge about the marine life we were seeing.

    I had a snorkeling experience. Winnie was a wonderful guide that manage to keep a wayward group together while still pointing out the wild life we should see and how to best dive to see them. In addition to the numerous fish, I was particularly happy to see a tiny, beautiful nudibranch.
