Description
Enter the crystal clear waters surrounding Great Barrier Island, one of New Zealand’s best kept subterranean secrets. Hidden in the spectacular Hauraki Gulf between Auckland and the Coromandel Peninsular, the spectacular undersea gullies and canyons are home to some of the world’s most spectacular fauna and flora.
Expect to see many and varied types of crustaceans including the massive packhorse crayfish which can grow up to nearly a metre in length. Numerous fish of all sizes swim and meander among the gracefully swaying plant life.
On your boat journey, you may encounter sharks or dolphins, as a variety of shark species pass through and inhabit these beautiful sparkling waters. Marine mammals including whales and dolphins are often visitors to the rich and picturesque waters surrounding Great Barrier Island and its neighbouring brothers and cousins.
