Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. Pleased you enjoyed your experience with us. Rgds GBB Team
Highly recommend this. They also provide free floating devices to support you while swimming. The hiring crew also offer amazing advice on swimming spots etc
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. Really appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks GBB Team
The service with the equipment was great and all in good condition. The limited dish we saw made the detour seem not worthwhile.
Goat Island was amazing as it was my first time snorkeling. You can swim around Goat Island if you are confident in your swimming and go onto Goat Island itself. Lots of rocks that is hard on your feet, so take caution if you decide to take your fins off. I'd recommend for anyone traveling on the North Island as the views are beautiful.

Hatten eine schöne Zeit
Das Equipment war in tadellosem Zustand, einzig der Ort war nicht der Schönste. Der Strand ist sehr überlaufen und man sieht zwar ein paar Fische aber nicht die bunte Vielfalt, die man sich beim Schnorcheln erhofft. Außerdem sehr viele Wasserpflanzen, die den Blick nach unten verschleiern
