Tiritiri Matangi: The Skipper’s Choice Expedition
Sunday, 17 May 2026
The Hauraki Gulf is a dynamic environment, and on May 17th, we are letting the conditions dictate the ultimate adventure. We are setting a course for the waters surrounding Tiritiri Matangi, but the exact drop point remains a mystery until we’re on the water.
By opting for a Skipper’s Choice itinerary, we bypass the standard routines. We’ll be hunting for the best visibility, the most favorable currents, and the peak of marine activity. Whether we find ourselves exploring the vibrant kelp forests of a sheltered bay or hovering along a current-swept reef on the island's seaward side, the focus is on quality over a fixed schedule.
What to Expect:
• The Island: Tiritiri Matangi is a crown jewel of the Inner Gulf, known for its thriving marine life and significant ecological recovery.
