Tutukaka Coast
The Tutukaka Coast is your gateway to an underwater world of wonder. Offshore lie the legendary Poor Knights Islands, declared by Jacques Cousteau as one of the top 10 dive sites globally, a vibrant marine reserve teeming with life. These waters are also a renowned hotspot for big game fishing, boasting numerous world-record catches. Beyond diving and fishing, explore the stunning coastline with scenic cruises, kayaking tours, or tranquil strolls along sandy beaches. When hunger strikes, local cafes and restaurants offer delicious fresh seafood straight from the ocean, ensuring a taste of Tutukaka's bounty.
Dive! Tutukaka and Diving - lunch included
Internationally recognised as "the best sub-tropical diving in the world", the Poor Knights Islands are on every diver's 'must-do' list. Washed by warm currents sweeping south from the Coral Sea, the Poor Knights Islands are an international icon 23km off the Tutukaka Coast. The island's volcanic origins provide myriad spectacular drop offs, walls, caves, arches and tunnels, all inhabited by an amazing array of underwater life.
The complex underwater landscape is a unique environment. Subtropical and temperate marine life coexist with extraordinary diversity, beauty and density. A dive at the Poor Knights is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, very different to coral reefs or diving on the nearby New Zealand coast.
