Gemstone Bay in Hahei, New Zealand is a stunning beach perfect for snorkeling and sight-seeing. The bay features a rocky shore that makes it a great spot for fishing and swimming as well. Enjoy the picturesque view of the cliffs and crystal clear water from a distance or get up close and personal with some of the friendly sea creatures that inhabit the area. With its free cancellation policy, you can always plan to join an afternoon or morning sail around the coastline on a large luxury catamaran and take advantage of the guided snorkeling tours available. Don’t forget to bring appropriate footwear, like a pair of snorkeling shoes, as there are many rocks here that make accessing the water sometimes tricky. Whether you prefer ocean-gazing or going for a dip, Gemstone Bay will provide an unforgettable experience!
