Dive. Gather. Feast. Connect.

Join the crew for a two-day, one-night ocean adventure where freediving, foraging, and feasting come together in the best possible way. Guided by the tides, we’ll spend our days exploring the moana — freediving and collecting a variety of kaimoana — and our evenings at the overnight accomodation cooking up our catch, sharing stories, and maybe even a cheeky tipple or two under the stars.

This experience is designed for beginner-level spearos and huntresses — perfect if you’re just starting out and want to learn the fundamentals of ethical, sustainable gathering in a safe and supportive wāhine-led environment.

You’ll learn spearfishing basics, ocean awareness, and kai preparation skills, while building confidence in the water and connecting with like-minded ocean lovers. Our focus is on growth, learning, and empowerment — and if you go home with a feed, that’s the salty cherry on top! Come and experience the ultimate Salt-style adventure — where you’ll dive deep, eat well, and reconnect with the moana that sustains us all.
