Take part in a free snorkeling event this summer!

*New Location: Scorching Bay Beach*

-------------------------------------------------- 

Beginners welcome! We provide all necessary gear and experienced guides to ensure your safety and enjoyment in the water. Participants just need to be at least eight years old and confident swimmers. Those under sixteen must be accompanied by an adult.

Registrations open at 9.45am. Come down to book a snorkel time for the day, as spots may fill up quickly. Bring your togs, towel, refreshments and make a day of it exploring the activities and environment at Scorching Bay Beach.

This free event is brought to you in partnership with Greater Wellington Regional Council.

Cancellations/Postponements

Events are weather dependent. Stay updated by checking MTSW Facebook event listings for any cancellations, postponements, or location changes.

A note on water quality- We are keeping a close eye on the situation at Moa Point Wastewater Treatment Plant and the impact to Wellington's South Coast. As this event is taking place in Wellington Harbour, there are currently no concerns to water quality due to the Moa Point spill. As well monitoring the impact of this spill, please be assured we are always monitoring water quality ahead of snorkel events. Often, after heavy rain, water quality can dip due to runoff via stormwater pipes. This affects not only visibility, but in-water safety. MTSW only ever operates when LAWA shows a green (safe to swim) water quality rating.
