Unfortunately due to the increased fire risk at Whitireia Park, the Te Onepoto Loop Track is closed between 1pm - 9pm daily. The community snorkel planned at Whitireia Park will be moved in location to Taputeranga Marine Reserve.
There is an entire underwater world to explore, full of beautiful biodiversity. The Mountains to Sea Wellington team are here to help you to experience it first hand.
