One will leave from Titahi Bay and one from central Porirua at regular intervals, there will be return minibuses to take you back too. You can also walk or cycle there along the coastal walkway, or over the hill down Whitireia Road.

We’ve added some great new activities for land dwellers as well, or for when you’ve finished snorkelling. Anyone aged 8 and above can snorkel (equipment provided) and the land activities are suitable for all ages!

Check the event pages for more information.
