Explore New Zealand's first marine reserve, witness vibrant underwater life, and marvel at Goat Island's beauty.
Explore Goat Island
Located in Leigh, north of Auckland, our Glass Bottom Boat operation provides a fun and educational adventure for guests of all ages. During this 45-minute eco-tour, you will see the fish, fauna, marine life, and birds that thrive in this protected reserve, as well as the mysterious caves and sea-battered rocky cliffs of Goat Island.
Our direct boarding from the beach allows guests to stay dry throughout the entire journey – making it a perfect activity during most of the year.
For our visitors keen to have a closer look at the Reserve’s marine life, we have kayaks and snorkel gear available for hire on the beach. The Kayak & Snorkel Hire operates seasonally during the warmer months.
