On the way to your snorkeling site, we will be visiting Cathedral Cove so you can get some great holiday shots. Once anchored up around the islands offshore of Hahei Beach and Cathedral Cove, you will get to spend an hour snorkeling in sites that simply cannot be accessed by shore. There are stunning areas of coastline, with rocky reefs and drop-offs or colorful shallow plateaus teaming with fishlife. You will get an hour in the water hanging out with the friendly fish, large rays and mooching snapper that are living in the Cathedral Cove Te Whanganui-a Hei Marine Reserve. The knowledgeable skippers will help you with your snorkel techniques and confidence in the water. On returning back to Hahei Beach, we will deliver back to the Dive Centre.
