A Perfect Day

Experience the Poor Knights Islands, snorkel, kayak, paddle-board, relax and immerse yourself in a Marine and Nature Reserve that is iconic in New Zealand.

Pass through giant sea arches, enter the world's largest sea cave, and experience prolific marine and bird life. The Poor Knights Islands are a day to remember for the rest of your life!

An icon on Northland's east coast, only two hours from Auckland International Airport, and twenty minutes from Whangarei - coastal village of Tutukaka is the perfect place to start your journey.

A 40 minute boat ride will take you to the Poor Knights Islands - a complete Nature and Marine Reserve.

Washed by a warm current that sweeps down from the Coral Sea, with pending World Heritage Status, kudos from National Geographic Traveler, and a diversity in nature that is found nowhere else in the world - unique and endemic species thrive both above and below the water. 

Home to Rikoriko Cave - the World's Largest Seacave - the boat goes right inside!
