Located just 15 minutes from Tairāwhiti Gisborne on New Zealand’s East Coast, where the first light of the day reaches the country’s shores, this world-famous reef adventure combines incredible marine encounters, rich local culture, and stunning coastal scenery.
After arriving, you'll be fitted with the appropriate gear and receive a briefing from experienced guides before heading out onto the reef. As you explore the shallow waters, you'll have the opportunity to meet the Tamariki (children) of Tangaroa, the Māori God of the Sea, including wild short-tail stingrays, eagle rays, and other fascinating reef inhabitants. Watch as friendly stingrays glide gracefully through the water, and if conditions allow, encounter well-known local rays such as Pancake and Waffle, who may settle gently at your feet while you learn about their behaviour and the unique marine ecosystem they call home.
What makes this experience truly special is the chance to interact with completely wild marine life in a natural setting while gaining insights from guides who have observed some of these stingrays since birth. This experience offers a deeper understanding of ocean life, Māori connections to the sea, and the importance of protecting these remarkable creatures. Leave with unforgettable memories, a new appreciation for the marine world, and stories you'll be sharing long after you've left the reef behind.
