What To Expect

Goat Island Marine Reserve

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO SEE? As an open reserve – meaning there are no barricades keeping marine life in or out of the Reserve – the species we encounter change daily. Weather and sea conditions also affect the movements of marine life through the reserve – you never know what you will see! Fish living in the reserve include Snapper (GIANT), Blue Maomao, Parore, Red Moki, Goatfish, Leather Jackets, Sweep, Silver Drummer, Spotties, HiwiHiwi, Marble fish, Eagle Rays, and Stingrays. Sometimes we even see Dolphins, Orca, Whales, and Seals! Other marine life includes Kina, Kelp, Seaweeds, Sponges, and Anemones. Birds include Pied Shags, Red-Billed and Dominican Seagulls, Blue Penguins, Reef Herons, Terns, Gannets, and Petrels.

We will be cruising to the back of Goat Island and have a look at some amazing caves! Few people get to experience the caves as they're only accessible by boat. There are several caves to visit including the Famous "Key Hole" Let the Adventure begin!
