Come get your snorkel on at the Taputeranga Marine Reserve in Island Bay!

Our wonderful Experiencing Marine Reserve snorkel guides look forward to helping you to explore the spectacular underwater world of the south coast during our annual community snorkel day.

New snorkellers encouraged! We provide all equipment, guides and safety support. Sorry - no children under 8 yrs.

Tours departing at 10, 11, 12.30 and 1.30. We are unable to take bookings for this event - so please meet us down at the surf club (Island Bay Marine Education Centre) on the day and sign up for the next available group.

Weather updates will also be posted here. Please check on the morning of the snorkel for any updates.

A second snorkel event wil be held on the 4th of Febraury and a final back up date on the 11th of Februrary.

We look forward to seeing you there!
