EXPERIENCE GOAT ISLAND NEW ZEALAND’S FIRST MARINE RESERVE
New Zealand’s first marine reserve, better known as Goat Island was created in 1975 and officially opened in 1977.
Goat Island or Te Hāwere-a-Maki is a tiny island (approximately 1 hectare or 2.5 acres) in New Zealand located close to the North Island coast, north of Auckland, northeast of Warkworth, and directly west of Little Barrier Island. It is within Cape Rodney-Okakari Point Marine Reserve.
The island is spiritually significant to the local Māori tribe, Ngāti Manuhiri, because their ancestral waka (canoe), Moe Karaka, is said to have landed nearby.
Beneath the surface of the waves lies a variety of habitats for marine life, from rocky shores that are exposed at low tide, to deep reefs, underwater cliffs, canyons and sand flats. Each area of habitat harbours its own creatures from seaweed forests in the pulsating light zone to deeper waters where clinging animals like sea squirts, anemones, sponges and shellfish are found.
Pelagic schools of jack mackerel and trevally are common, and there are small caves which provides shelter to the nightshift animals, various species of cod, red moki and a huge eel. You will also find butterfish, goatfish, boarfish and terakihi, blue maomao, sweep, butterfly perch and scarlet wrasse. The crayfish here know they are protected, possibly some of the biggest ever seen. Snapper play in your bubbles and blue cod act like submarine fizzers. It really is an oasis for many of its inhabitants.
This is an excellent dive site for certified divers, whether you are a beginner or an experienced diver. Included in the price is all rental equipment and 2 dives from our boat.
You can SAVE money if you have your own gear, which you can purchase directly from our online store as we have some GREAT offers. If you prefer you can come to the shop and get some professional advice so we can help set you up for the
future.
Alternatively, contact us directly if you already have your own gear, or you just need tanks and weights for the dive.
