Marvelous - Wonderful experience. Staff extremely helpful. Special thanks to guide Tiff. She went above and beyond to show us all the sea life and keep us safe. Never left us all the way to island and back. Highly recommended. Steve

Great team, equipment and overall experience - Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable team that clearly love sharing the NZ ocean life with visitors. Provided with heaps (but not too much) info - to make you feel safe and comfortable. Your guide(s) stay close and communication the whole time. Great, clean and comfortable equipment, and instruction on how best to use/wear it. Even though the sea was a chilly 16 degrees, I didn't feel cold in the wetsuit & hooded vest provided. The session is the perfect length. Enough to take in all the sights, without feeling absolutely exhausted at the end of it. Don't let the word 'advanced' put you off - it really is just referring to whether or not you are a confident swimmer in the sea (rather than the snorkelling). If you get sea sick, you might want to take a tablet before you get in the water. Floating around made me feel a little queasy. Saw loads of wildlife (including kine, snappers, eagle rays and dolphins). The guide took photos, yet to see the ones from our group appear on the Facebook though unfortunately. I went on my own, and was added to an existing group of 3. It was pleasant and not awkward at all. Absolutely recommend.

Snorkeling - Snorkel in the winter?!?! YES!!! They outfitted us in wetsuits, and we never thought about being cold. Sara was an incredible guide, and we had an amazing time. This is a must do experience!

Amazing place to learn and enjoy Snorkeling - We had an incredible experience with the Goat Island Dive & Snorkel team! A big shoutout to Sara for accommodating our group during the off-peak season. We had the opportunity to go snorkelling twice, and it was nothing short of amazing. The personalized attention we received made the experience unforgettable. With four kids (aged 14 and 9) and two adults in our group, Sara ensured that we felt safe and well-prepared. Her guidance and knowledge added great value to our snorkelling and diving experiences.

Goats Island Excellent Snorkeling - 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.

Advanced snorkeling - 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.

Value for money but hampered by inexperienced guests - The setup, kit, process, guides, location were all great. The guides did their best but the group was so slow that we didn't get very far or see that much. To say that it was a mixed ability group would be an understatement: and I get that this is difficult to control from a booking perspective. Previous snorkelling experience or confidence in swimming in the ocean were meant to be the criteria - I think that some of the group weren't at that level. That made it tricky for the guides and detracted from the experience. Thank you
