Just imagine - you put your face in the water and see all the marine life. There's fish swimming, starfish making their way across the rocks and crabs darting in and out of their hiding holes!
Waiheke Dive & Snorkel is an award winning experience provider, being a winner of the Qualmark 100% Pure New Zealand Awards 2021, being a recipient of the PADI Green Star award and being rated as Qualmark GOLD! We are Aotearoa New Zealand's only 100% conservation focused 'full service' dive store!
The PADI Discover Snorkelling Experience is a great way to explore the Waiheke coastline using a mask and snorkel! All your gear is included, so that's your mask, snorkel & wetsuit, ready for you to explore with us!
When you arrive in store, you'll have a chat with your PADI Instructor or Divemaster about your abilities while you complete the required paperwork. We'll then allocate your equipment before we travel to the chosen location for our adventure!
Once at the snorkelling site your guide will brief you about what you're likely to see and go through a thorough safety briefing, and they'll demonstrate how the equipment works. Together you'll then enter the water and see what can be found!
If you have friends that are booked on as well then awesome! But don't worry if you're on your own - you'll be buddied up with another participant for your time in the water!
Be warned though - this is a super addictive activity! Just ask your diver pals how many started their love of the water through snorkelling...
For a tour that lasts an hour or two of prepping, swimming and peering in the water, it was a revelating experience. There are not many sea creatures to be found in and around Auckland and yet Waiheke beats that with its variety of unique fauna and flora all within the sanctuary of Sandy Bay's shore. If you wish to see something that could only be found on TV then the Snorkeling tour and perhaps Diving are the ways to go for satiating one's inquisitive mind. You will not be disappointed.
Our group enjoyed the experience but feedback - give thorough briefings with how to adjust & fit gear plus a contactless once over inspection when all geared up before starting off.
스노클링 선생님이 아주 친절하고 위트있으시다. 처음에 좀 가르쳐주다가 혼자 하라고 자유시간 주는데 내가 무서워해서 선생님이 손잡고 계속 같이 다녀주셔서 너무 감사했다. 비록 파도가 좀 있는 편이라 바다 내부가 탁했지만 물고기 몇마리랑 수초가 물결 치는 걸 봤는데 정말 신기했다. 같이 한 다른 사람들은 더 먼바다로 가서 고래도 봤다고 했다. 다음에 뉴질랜드를 재방문하게 된다면 또 체험하고 싶다.
