Patting wild stingrays in Gisborne, New Zealand!

Just 15 minutes from Gisborne is: Tatapōuri - a gorgeous coastal town where you can hang out with wild stingrays, eagle-rays, king-fish and other marine life in the ocean.
(I've named the rays 'sea elephants' by the way & I want 1 as a pet!)

The awesome crew at Dive Tatapouri guide you out to a sandy spot at lowtide where within seconds rays and fish appear giving everyone leg hugs and nudges asking for pats. You can hand feed them and the fish too! Its truly a uniquely MAGICAL experience and totally safe for you and the marine life.

Right next door you can sleep, spa and order a coffee right on the beachside at Tatapouri MotorCamp. The hospitality and quality facilities were second to none. How good are those glamping tents am I right?!
