Poor Knights Day Trip

Dive into the Best of New Zealand – The Poor Knights Islands Await!
Ready for the ultimate dive trip? If you’re after one of the top diving spots in the world, you’ve found it with our Poor Knights Islands day trip!


Tour Details
The Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve is just an hour off the coast, and it’s famous for its incredible marine life and crystal-clear waters. You’ll get to explore it all with two amazing dives on a day trip from Tutukaka.
But it’s not just about diving! A day at the Poor Knights is the perfect way to unwind and enjoy some well-deserved time off. We head out every day the weather lets us, giving you two dives (or snorkels if that’s more your thing) at different sites—unless, of course, the first site is too good to leave!
During your surface interval, we’ll take you on a tour around the islands, where you’ll see the largest sea cave in the southern hemisphere and so much more.
When the diving’s done, kick back, relax, and soak in the vibe—whether you’re with friends, family, or just treating yourself to a solo adventure.
Our awesome crew is here to make sure you’re taken care of, no matter your diving experience. If you’ve never dived before, why not try a Discover Scuba session? We’ve got rental gear, wetsuits, and even hot showers to keep you cozy between and after your dives.
Spaces are limited to just 12 passengers, so book your spot now and experience one of the world’s top diving destinations!
Need gear? No worries! Just choose the “Scuba Diver (with full gear hire)” option when booking. This includes everything you need—wetsuit, mask, snorkel, boots, fins, regulator (with computer), BCD, and tanks.
Ready to go? Use the booking form to lock in your trip. If you want to dive on a day that’s not listed, just give us a shout, and we’ll do our best to sort it out for you.


Schedule
We’ll meet at the Tutukaka Marina at 8 am. Look for us on Pier M, one of the first piers in the marina.
If you’re hiring gear, you’ll meet the crew to get sized up and load your gear onto the boat. If you’ve got your own gear, just bring it along, and we’ll get it set up for the day.
After a quick safety briefing, we’ll head out around 8:30 am. The ride to the first dive site takes about an hour and 15 minutes.
Our Skipper will choose the best spot for your first dive/snorkel.
After the first dive/snorkel, while you’re having lunch, we’ll take you on a tiki tour of the islands, share a bit of history, and visit that massive sea cave I mentioned earlier.
Then it’s off to the second site for another dive/snorkel before heading back to the marina, where we’ll arrive around 3:30-4 pm.

Understanding the Risks – What You Need to Know
We’re excited to have you join us on this adventure, whether it’s for a boat ride, scuba diving, snorkeling, freediving, or just soaking in the sights. Before we set off, it’s important to chat about the risks involved.

The Ocean and the Elements:
The ocean is a powerful and unpredictable force. We use local marine forecasts to decide if it’s safe to head out, but even on the best days, being on a boat means you’ll be on a moving, sometimes unsteady platform. The deck can get slippery, and things might shift around, which could cause injury. Also, weather and sea conditions can change unexpectedly—for better or worse.
Since we’re outdoors, there’s also the chance of natural events like tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, or even volcanic eruptions. While rare, it’s something to be aware of.
In-Water Activities:
When you’re in the water, there are additional risks to keep in mind. These include, but aren’t limited to, seasickness, sunburn, dehydration, issues with breathing compressed air, decompression sickness, gas narcosis, encounters with marine life, barotrauma, ear problems, drowning, air embolism, and temperature-related conditions like hyperthermia or hypothermia. Equipment can also malfunction, which could lead to serious injury or even death.
Our Commitment to Safety:
All of our skippers and staff are trained in first aid, and we have safety gear on board, including life jackets, an EPIRB, a first aid kit, and oxygen. That said, it’s crucial that you act responsibly, stay within your training and comfort limits, and follow all instructions and briefings from our team. If you’re bringing children under 18, you’ll need to make sure they’re acting responsibly as well.
We want you to have an amazing and safe experience, so let’s work together to make sure that happens.

Participant conditions - understanding the risks
As you are embarking on an adventure activity (boat ride, scuba diving, snorkeling, freediving, sightseeing and just being out on the ocean with us) we have to inform you of the risks involved.
The ocean is the ocean and is a moving beast. We rely on local marine forecasts to determine whether it is safe to make the journey with you. However, even in the best of conditions you will be on a vessel moving around on the sea which will create an unstable platform at times. Floors can become slippery and items can be dislodged and move around potentially causing injury. And sometimes the conditions can be different from what is forecast - for better or worse.
As the trips are run outdoors we are also exposed to sudden natural disasters such as, but not limited to Tsunami, Earthquakes, Slips Landslides or Rock Falls, or Volcanic Eruption.
When you are enjoying your in-water activities there are additional risks that you need to be aware of and accept. The risks and hazards include, but are not limited to, sea sickness, sunburn, dehydration, breathing compressed gas, decompression sickness, gas narcosis, marine life, barotrauma, dehydration, ear problems, drowning, air embolism, hyperthermia, hypothermia, malfunctioning equipment all of which can lead to serious injury or even death.
All of our skippers and staff are first aid trained and we have safety and first aid equipment on board including life jackets, EPIRB, first aid kit and Oxygen. However, you will be required to act in a responsible manner, stay within the limits of your dive/freedive training and comfort levels and listen and adhere to all staff briefings and instructions. You will also be responsible for any children under the age of 18 to ensure they act in a responsible manner also.
