Bay of Islands Snorkelling

16/09/2026

Where we take you on our epic snorkelling trip you’re guaranteed to see 100’s of fish! 🐟 Snapper are the most confident, Sanddaggers wrasse want to be, the Kelpfish (sea puppies) will come close if you look interesting and the Pigfish just aren’t quite there. But because they don’t mind us as visitors in their world it’s fun to see who’s being social each day! 🤿🐠🐟🐡🤿

Our Snorkellers love the chance to have a tussle with some of the bigger snapper…. Would you? The water temperature is still in the 20’s and we’re still going till the end of April. So much fun snorkelling with us! 🤿🐠🐡🤿

Jono is a true legend swimming the length of the NZ North island to stop bottom trawling here! Please have a look at what he has accomplished and in sometimes not so nice conditions. Those who have been out with us know our passion of the underwater world in the small part we go but let’s help him make an impact on the bigger picture. Sign sign sign! 🐟🐠🦑🦀🦞🦐🐙🪼🐡🐬🦭🦈🐋🐳

LET'S GO! 💪 Less than 150km to go now until Jono and the team reach their goal - Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.

Jono has swum over 1216km across 415 hours. And now, the final push continues.

Get behind Jono's efforts by signing the call for an end to bottom trawling. We're sending a clear message together - that it’s time for New Zealand to stop being an outlier and protect the ocean’s most vital habitats by ending bottom trawling 🌊

We live in a small community and there are lots of superstars that hold events to raise money for charities and volunteer groups, we are always more than happy to give a voucher to come Snorkelling as a prize or a raffle 🤞🤞👏🫶🙌. Today we had a raffle winner from a super fun event run by last year with the Little Italy festival raising money for The St Johns group here in Russell!
I’m super glad to say the Paul and Linda had an absolutely amazing day 🤿🐟🐠🤿
