Tutukaka Anniversary Weekend 2010 - Bo Herbert Memorial Race
Waka ama, beautiful weather, snorkeling, masses of schooling fish, Republic of Tutukaka hats, ......there is a definite summer air in the town of Tutukaka on this Anniversary Weekend, the first time that Tutukaka has celebrated by declaring itself a Republic. Long live the Summer!
Tropical Visitors get Snapper Welcome
The highlight of it all was that scene off Serpent Rock when we saw snapper leaping and thrashing about in a most unsnapperly manner. Skipper ["Excuse me. Are you the Kapiten?" asked a small, superbly mannered European lad] Craig Johnson took us over to investigate.

Philippa Bennett, River Rats Raft & KayakI came diving with 3 of my friends on Feb 3rd 09. I wanted to write and thank you for a wonderful time!
It was the first dive I have completed after doing my Open Water course so I was very excited & a little nervous. The staff on the boat were very helpful, friendly and attentive, especially as I was feeling a little sea sick. The instructors took the time to evaluate everyone individual needs which was very reassuring especially for a novice like myself. Also thank you for the endless cups of tea!
The skipper, Craig, was great!
I was very impressed by the beautiful Poor Knights Islands, what a great place to visit, dive & work at!!! I was truly awed by a massive sting ray that we saw on our second dive…very cool. It’s also good to see the emphasis on recycling and conservation.
I will strongly recommend Dive! Tutukaka to friends, family and customers.
