Trip Dossier

Highlights: The Kermadec Islands are New Zealand's northern most islands. They are volcanic in origin, have never been connected to the mainland, and a range of biological communities have developed. The area is the only true sub-tropical ecosystem in New Zealand waters and includes a variety of tropical fish and corals. This expedition offers the scuba diver some amazing opportunities as the marine ecosystems here are unique in the world. For those not keen on scuba diving there will be plenty of opportunities for guided walks and snorkelling.

"This trip was awesome, especially the diving. At one stage we had over 30 Galapagos sharks swimming around us (only 2 metres long). The food and staff were terrific."
