Spearfishing is one of the fastest growing watersports in New Zealand and the Hauraki Gulf has some of the best spearfishing charters to offer for those keen on hunting. Kawau & the Surrounds offers fantastic spearfishing. Short trips by boat allows you the freedom of moving from reef to reef, all in easy access from Auckland. This area provides excellent diving in depths not too challenging for those who are new to the sport but at the same time still providing an abundance of fish species, including Snapper, Butterfish & Kingfish. Flatrock & other deeper reefs provide more challenging diving for those who are experienced & want something extra.

Spearfishing offers a totally different experience in comparison to scuba diving, without the aid artificial breathing apparatus and the hiss of regulators scaring all the fish away, the opportunity to encounter fish life up close and personal increases dramatically. You will get much closer and see a bigger variety of fish; you are now no longer spectators but rather participants, another predator in the food chain of life.
