About this Event

Explore the waters of the Tāwharanui Marine Reserve with an experienced snorkel guide; come and see what you can spot? Discover huge tāmure, eagle rays, red moki, leather jackets and more! Fun for the whole whānau with the rest of the park to explore before or after your snorkel. We will have the awesome team from TOSSI with their fabulous education trailer on hand to share their extensive knowledge of the park and the wildlife that call this place home.
