Although Kaikoura is not like your tropical island snorkeling destination, it is still rich in aquatic life and in particular a wide range of seafood. The experience you gain from a tour like this is so rewarding and fun. You even get to feast on a beautifully prepared barbecue of your days catch, which is often worth more than the overall cost of the tour. We can guarantee you can’t beat that for value!
You also get the wonderful opportunity to snorkel with a very experienced guide who can impart many years of local knowledge i.e.
- techniques in free diving
- best locations in various weather conditions
- tips for catching & cooking seafood and so much more
