What to do in Leigh

Activities, attractions and tours

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!

Quaint spot at the wharf at Leigh
Big snapper at Goat island. Goat island has been a marine reserve for some 30+ years and is probably the only place in the country you can easily see very large snapper swimming around.
