For water babies, there’s simply way too much to do here in New Zealand thanks to the seemingly unending coastline. Whether it’s kayaking in the Marlborough Sounds or freshwater kayaking in the Whanganui river, or sailing in the Hauraki Gulf, you’ll be thrilled to indulge in your love for water sports. Some of the must visit places in NZ for diving and snorkelling are the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve off the Tutukaka Coast.
Divers can experience the singular thrill of diving off wrecks and sub-tropical reefs and the waters are clean and clear. Other water activities that will get your heart racing are surfing in Shipwreck Bay, rafting in Lake Taupo's Tongariro River and paddle boarding in Bay of Islands.
