What to bring:

Togs, towel, sunhat, warm clothes and lunch (or purchase lunch for an additional $15). If you have your own snorkel gear you are welcome to bring it along – please note it needs to be fit for purpose (no full face masks). Medication: if you suffer seasickness - take medication first thing in the morning.

EMR is providing the snorkelling and Dive! Tutukaka is giving us a great deal to get out to these special islands in the Hauraki Gulf. If you would like to give a koha to EMR to support our work – bring cash on the day or you can donate online.

This event is sponsored by The Bobby Stafford-Bush Foundation and supported by Dive Tutukaka.

Images will be taken during the event to add to our Facebook Page and will be shared with all participants. Please let the organisers know when you arrive if you do not wish for images to be taken of yourself or your whānau.

Please note that the boat ticket is non-refundable (you are welcome to sell your ticket and let me know their details) and the trip will run rain or shine! If ocean conditions will not allow us to make the 2 hour trip to the Mokohinau Islands we will be going to the Poor Knights islands which are closer (45mins). However if the weather conditions are too poor to make the crossing at all we will be using our back up date of Sunday the 1st of November. Please ensure you are free on both dates. We will give you as much notice as possible if the weather is not looking good – however conditions do change quickly.

If you are late and miss the boat departure unfortunately there are no refunds.
