About this activity

We are the only dedicated snorkelling adventure here in the Bay of Islands, small, personalized tour with a vessel that has the ability to get us to clear waters of the 'No-take' area started in 2010 in Deep Water Cove where a huge variety of super friendly fish, clear water and awesome scenery along the way with commentary is waiting for you.

"This isn't just epic snorkelling. It's the Bay of Islands at its most unforgettable.”

We cater for all snorkelling abilities and have good quality gear of wetsuits masks & snorkels for keeping you warm and comfortable in the water for longer.

We have modified our boat to make entering and exiting the water super easy, with a hot fresh water rinse off afterwards is just the best!

We have a love and passion for the area and with the years of knowledge are super happy that we are able to share this with you.

This can be book online through our website.

If you want a private tour that can be arranged as well by contacting us.
