Community Snorkel: Taputeranga Marine Reserve

Dive into Wellington this summer at our free Community Snorkel Day in the amazing Taputeranga Marine Reserve.

Just off the coast of Island Bay there is heaps of underwater beauty to discover and the Mountains to Sea Wellington team are here to help you to experience it first hand.   

What you need to know

- We provide all gear, guides and good times for free! 

- Beginners and new snorkelers are very welcome. You will be paired with an experienced guide to ensure your safety and enjoyment. 

- Snorkelers need to be at least 8 years old and confident in-water. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. 

- Registrations will open at 10am. Come down to book a snorkel time for the day as spots do fill up quickly. 

- Bring along your togs, towel, refreshments and make a day of it exploring the fun stalls and activities.

- Taputeranga is a special place - there is absolutely no taking, harming or disturbing creatures in the reserve. Come to enjoy the amazing results of over 15 years of protection, and leave no trace.

- Please consider your travel choices. We encourage bikes, buses and carpools where you can.
