The best place in New Zealand to see very large snapper easily while snorkeling.
Absolutely beautiful marine reserve. Went snorkelling there twice with Goats Island Dive & Snorkel. Orcas sometimes come into the bay (we missed seeing them by two days 😱)
Big snapper at Goat island. Goat island has been a marine reserve for some 30+ years and is probably the only place in the country you can easily see very large snapper swimming around.


Goat Island is often on the itineraries of travelers to Auckland. But this water-surrounded land mass shouldn't be your only stop in this area. Omaha Beach is not too far away and worth exploring.
