Walk across the reef at low tide on a Reef Ecology Tour at Gisborne’s Tatapouri beach and stand in the shallows while short tail stingrays, eagle rays and other reef dwellers swim around at your feet. The tour is priced from $55pp, with waders provided to keep you dry. Bookings are essential, as timing is reliant on the tides.
