Leigh Travel Guide

The best place in New Zealand to see very large snapper easily while snorkeling.

Absolutely beautiful marine reserve. Went snorkelling there twice with Goats Island Dive & Snorkel. Orcas sometimes come into the bay (we missed seeing them by two days ��😱)

A popular place to visit for a picnic or get your feet wet and go scuba diving or snorkelling in this marine reserve!
