EQUIPMENT: Free snorkel gear will be provided. Please wear covered footwear or gumboots (essential for spotlighting) and bring warm clothing for both activities.

Come and explore Te Kohuroa Matheson Bay by night and discover a whole new underwater world in your local awa and moana.

What creatures of the night are hiding in our awa and around our rocky reef? We will be exploring the many hidden treasures of Matheson Bay both above and in the water. We welcome all curious minds to discover Te Kohuroa’s nightlife by either snorkelling or by going on a stream connection walk with your torch (this is known as spotlighting). For the best experience of Te Kohuroa, we recommend doing both activities!

Snorkelling: This activity is for people with prior snorkelling experience and moderate to strong swimming ability. We love families and we hate to disappoint, but children must be 12 years and older to take part in this activity.
Spotlighting: This land-based activity focused around the awa (stream) is suitable for tamariki 5 years and older. We recommend bringing your own torch (our guides will have high powered torches to assist with viewing wildlife), and covered footwear such as gumboots are essential.
