Beginners welcome! We provide all the necessary gear and experienced guides to ensure your safety and enjoyment in the water. Participants just need to be at least eight years old and confident swimmers. Those under sixteen must be accompanied by an adult.
Registrations open at 9.45am. Come down to book a snorkel time for the day, as spots may fill up quickly. Bring your togs, towel, refreshments and make a day of it exploring the activities and environment at Whitireia Park.
This free event is brought to you in partnership with Greater Wellington Regional Council.
Cancellations/Postponements
Events are weather dependent. Stay updated by checking the Mountains to Sea Wellington Facebook event listings for any cancellations, postponements, or location changes.
Getting There
By Car: The road to the snorkel site is narrow and can be dangerous when there is a lot of traffic. If possible, consider carpooling. There will be clearly signposted parking available throughout the day.
Cycle: You can cycle to the site around the beautiful coastal track. Starting at Titahi Bay Boat Club, it’s 5km to the snorkel site.
Accessibility
Unfortunately, our Whitireia Park snorkel site is not accessible and we will not have access to a beach wheelchair. Please keep an eye on our socials as we hope to host a snorkel in Wellington Harbour soon where we can provide better accessibility support.
The snorkelling in this event is run under the Health and Safety of the Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust programme Experiencing Marine Reserves. Adventure Activity Certified - AA0534.
