Guest: "do you still offer snorkelling this time of the year"
GBB: "Absolutety"
GBB: "Please wear your swim wear under your clothes and bring a towel with you. Let your skipper know you would like to snorkel and they will find the best spot towards the end of the tour for your swim".

Happy 100th Birthday to one of our favourite role models....
Sir David Attenborough 🥰🌊

Thank you for opening our eyes to the wonder of the ocean — and reminding the world that protecting it is protecting our future. Your voice has inspired generations to care, act, and hope.

There’s nothing quite like seeing tamariki experience the magic of our marine reserves for the first time 🌊💙

Through our EMR (Experiencing Marine Reserves) snorkelling trips, we love taking young explorers out into places like Te Whanganui o Hei Marine Reserve—where learning happens in the water, not just the classroom.

It’s more than just a snorkel. It’s about helping tamariki understand the importance of sustainability, respect for our moana, and how their actions today shape the future of conservation.

Education is at the heart of what we do. By creating these hands-on experiences, we’re not just showing them what’s beneath the surface—we’re helping them build a lifelong connection to the moana and empowering them to care for it.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY! 🌞

Our little ray of sunshine Aliza had her first day skippering. She has worked so hard over the summer we are all so proud of her and the amazing skipper she’s become. To top it all off, she was surprised by a pod of Orca on her last trip for the day! Heck yeah girlfriend! 🐠

Aliza is our FOURTH female skipper to be signed off, we are so stoked to support women in this industry and have had the most female skippers out of any other operator in the Mercury Bay. Get it girls! 💪🏼
