Goat Island Marine reserve, New Zealand

A great example of how effective marine reserves are. If you haven't been here, take the time to check it out as the sea life is simply outstanding. This is what I managed to see in the 1.5hrs that I was there, but Im sure there is still a lot more to be seen.

[@TheCuriousKiwis]

WOW what a stunning video! A few questions, first of all what camera are you using here? the footage is stunning :) Secondly, did you have to dive a lot to see everything? Or did you get just a good a view from the surface?? Thanks!

[@delayedfpv]

Its no where near as good when your just looking from the top. Go diving. its fun as heck. Just get some flippers and maybe a snorkel (and goggles ofc) Best swim i ever had

[@TheCuriousKiwis]

Absolutely true. We did end up snorkelling there and it was fantastic! @@delayedfpv

[@delayedfpv]

[@connorwaszak6176]

I may not have this reserve in Island Bay but at least i have Tapaturunga

[@bloomy9571]

music ?

[@emorinc]

Is there a chance to have a shark encounter there? Is it safe to do snorkeling with teenagers?

[@remy7788]

Hey, there is always a chance of encountering a shark while swimming in the ocean, and same applies to Goat island. But there has only 1 recorded attack on a person in history at this reserve and they suffered only minor injuries. People dive here everyday and it is almost perfectly safe. Sharks will only mainly come into the reserve if they are desperate, otherwise they will stay out in the ocean.

[@Muckwits]

Isn’t it dangerous swimming close to stingrays

[@user-fp2hm6fv2i]
