Paddle and explore serene inlets and bays as you glide through the turquoise waters of the extinct, sea-flooded volcanic crater.
Your nature guide will guide you through the marine reserve and share information about some of the rarest marine mammals in the world including white flippered penguins and hector dolphins which are native to NZ, fur seals, a large array of birdlife and many other sea creatures!
