Join us for a 2 hour excursion around Whale (Moutohora) Island which lies 7kms off the Whakatane shoreline. It is a geothermally active remnant of a complex Marine Volcano. Rich in geological and human history both Maori and European. Once privately owned and almost barren, it is now a wildlife sanctuary administered By the Department of Conservation and local Ngati Awa Maori.
The Island and it's surrounds are rich in rare and unique New Zealand wildlife including the living dinosaur lizard 'The Tuatara'
Diveworks Charters - Whale Island Tours have had a close association with the Island for 20 years being the Department of Conservations preferred operator for servicing the Island. Diveworks is responsible for transporting 1000s, plants and endangered animals to the Island for re introduction.
Our tours circumnavigate the Island. Enjoy 'Nature without the Rush'. We give extensive commentary on the colorful history, flora and fauna and supply an Information Booklet.
Travelling to and from the island can offer opportunities to view Dolphins, Whales, Seals, penquins, gannets, schools of fish and much more life that is abundant in our waters.
Our boat is walkaround, fast, comfortable and dry.
