The shop is located in the centre of the Taputeranga Marine Reserve. This reserve has a snorkel trail (one of three only in New Zealand) and it’s a short 7 minute walk from the shop. If you are coming by bus, the shop is 20 metres from the final stop on the #1 route bus.If you are coming by car we are on the corner of Reef St & the Parade, Island Bay.
There are two options:
1. Hire equipment only : We offer a full range of equipment for hire if you want to go snorkeling. We’ll show you which sites (in our opinion) are the best for the day and you take it from there. The trail is 7 minutes walk from the shop. Just turn up at the shop between 9am & 6pm.
2. Or opt for the Snorkel Tour package : includes mask, snorkel, fins, wet suit, booties, and gloves and a guide. If you can, come in a few days early to get fitted up with equipment; plus we need a few days warning to arrange your guide.
