Come and get your snorkel on at the Taputeranga Marine Reserve!

Our guides will help you explore the spectacular underwater world of the south coast, learning about the amazing creatures that seek shelter within the reserve protected boundaries.

New snorkellers are encouraged. All equipment, guides and safety gear is provided. Please note the minimum age is 8 years, and children below 16 must be accompanied by a snorkelling adult.

We are unable to take bookings for this event - so please meet us 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. We look forward to seeing you there!
