Visit The Poor Knights Islands this summer

Dive Tutukaka runs Perfect Day Ocean Cruises year round to The Poor Knights Islands, but the best months and warmest waters are January to end March. This world class marine reserve has to be one of the highlights of any visit to Northland. Swim, snorkal, kayak or just take in the scenery from the comfort of the boat. Perfect day departs Tutukaka 11:00am daily and returns approx 4:15pm. Stay at Ara Roa and book your seat for the Perfect Day. www.aperfectday.co.nz

Our World

We do not have this image on our website, but I really like it as it sums up so much about where we are. The Blue Pacifc, the Poor Knights Islands on the horizon, our local marine sanctuary. The rolling countryside, the pohutukawa fringed coast. Even a flax flower in the foreground, we are just missing a Tui (bird) sitting in there singing away. Click on the picture to see the big view.

Winter rock fishing

We did not do so well, as you can maybe tell by the faces! Bring on the marine park!
