Salt Aotearoa

Goat Island & Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand

Salt Aotearoa operates out of Goat Island Marine Reserve and the wider Hauraki Gulf, offering easy access to New Zealand's oldest marine protected area. We find this area reliably delivers good numbers of snapper and stingrays, especially in the shallower sections. It’s a solid choice for newer divers or those looking for an easy day trip from Auckland, with shore entry options available. If you’re keen on temperate water diving with plenty of fish life, this is a good bet.
