About Goat Island (Te Hāwere-a-Maki):
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. Famous for its big Snapper, blue Maomao and many other species of fish in easy access to the shore. On the exposed side of Goat Island, there is a drop off which offers a variety of life or you can dive in the more sheltered eastern side of Goat Island. Its suits all abilities and is a perfect way to relax and take in the amazing underwater environment.
About Tawharanui Marine Reserve:
The Tawharanui Marine Reserve was established in September 2011. The 400-hectare marine reserve replaces the existing Tawharanui Marine Park, which has been a no-take fishing area since 1981. The reserve allows marine life to flourish. You don’t have to swim far to find a nest of crayfish all sitting there blatantly as if they know they are safe. Tawharanui is a perfect dive site for beginners to feel safe and enjoy the dive while those more advanced will always find something new to admire.
