Event Details

Explore the waters of Enclosure Bay reef with an experienced snorkel guide; you never know what you might spot? Discover snapper, spotties, eagle rays, sweep, red moki and more! Whilst not in the water you can learn more about your local marine environment at our info stalls or participate in a Litter Intelligence Survey with Sustainable Coastlines. Fun for the whole whānau. Sea conditions permitting.

Bring your own gear or get free hire of our mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuits. Recommended for everyone 5 years and up. All children under 12 years must be accompanied by an adult beach observer. Experienced guides and advanced safety procedures will be in place on the day.

This event is run in partnership with Waiheke Marine Project, Seaweek and Sustainable Coastlines and is funded by the Waiheke Local Board, The Bobby Stafford-Bush Foundation and Tu Manawa Active Aotearoa.
