Come snorkelling with Mountains to Sea!

Tessa Johnstone from Mountains To Sea Wellington

This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to see the beauty of our underwater world. Take a peek at the fascinating array of marine organisms that live right here on our doorstep, out of sight, just under the surface.

Join Mountains to Sea Wellington for a guided snorkel at Taputeranga Marine Reserve, Whitireia Park, or Kāpiti Island.

Beginner snorkelers are encouraged (but you must be comfortable in the water). The minimum age of snorkellers is 8, and those under 16 must be accompanied by a snorkelling adult.

We provide all the gear free of charge and will also buddy you up with an experienced snorkel guide to facilitate the best experience possible. Our guides will get you kitted out, answer any fishy questions you might have and generally look after you whilst you take a dive into the salt and spray.

Jan 21 - Taputeranga Marine Reserve, meet at Island Bay Beach
Jan 28 - Taputeranga Marine Reserve (location tbc)
Feb 18 - Whitireia Park
Feb 25 & 26 - Kāpiti Island (This is a paid, ticketed event)
March 4 - Whitireia Park

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
