We feel so lucky to be collaborating with such awesome organisations to bring you this community event! This day has been split into 2 parts. Part 1 has unfortunately completely SOLD OUT, however we have a much larger capacity for Part 2 - Leigh Sawmill "Kōrero, kai & wai" in the evening so we would absolutely LOVE to see you there!
*Due to the high demand for the snorkel/dive day selling out please feel free to still join us for part 1 at Goat Island Marine Reserve for a fun day, especially if you're coming along to the Leigh Sawmill afterwards, however please just note that the "guided snorkel" part will only be available to those who booked on first. But we'd still love you to come along, join us for some whakawhanaungatanga, independent snorkeling or freedive practise, shared lunch etc etc!
