    Hi, I booked a guided dive in goat island reserve near Auckland. This dive was cancelled because of the weather conditions. I cant reschedule because Im leaving soon. I didnt recieve any mail from La Vacanza Travel telling that the dive was cancelled. When I go the the Web site the book dont appear as cancelled but it is. So, is it possible to get a full refund ? Kind regards, Barthélemy Dufau Saphores Nº of confirmation: 1491139269 Reference number of reservati9n: 1105498503

    Excellent dive! Staff was super friendly and extremely helpful. Really enjoyed our dive with dive guide Juliette. Extra bonus was that Roxy the dog joined the trip!

    Snorkel experience was great with lots of sea life viewed up close in a marine conservation area. Additional pleasure was the Goat Island dive team allowed us to use weight belts, which allowed us to free dive and swim amongst the fish shoals. By comparison this was not allowed on a similar snorkel expedition to the Poor Knights.

    Our family ranged in SCUBA experience from me (Advanced, many dives) to the rest of us, who were newly qualified Open Water divers. We had a false start with Goat Island Divers: there was a rāhui placed on the bay when we were due to dive, and then the weather intervened. None of this was the company's fault. But we re-booked, and the lovely Sara was our guide. I'd previously done many dives at Goat Island, but this was among the best. Sara was the point of difference: she was able to keep a close eye on all divers while still noticing and pointing out cool stuff to us. It was a great experience!

    Wonderful dive, well organized shop with all equipment included in the guided dive. The 7mm wetsuits were the perfect size for the 20C (68F) water. We saw many fish, including a stingray and a cute little sea slug-looking thing. Our guide was Kaiya who did an amazing job getting us there and showing us the best of the marine preserve. 100% recommend this for all divers of all ages, this is a simple beach dive with much to offer. My first dive post Covid and am very happy I chose this on my trip to New Zealand. Bravo!
