Busy Buro

★★★★★ (504)

Busy Burro (busy old man) is located in the channel between Havelock and Neil island. It’s a beautiful natural plateau, where one can expect mild to strong currents around spring tide.

Thanks to the hunting trevally and tuna, huge schools of colourful fish prefer to hang around divers for refuge and present awesome photo opportunities.
