Come and explore the Whangateau Harbour and Coxhead Creek by night and discover a whole new underwater world in your local awa and moana!

What creatures of the night are hiding in our awa and around the prisitine estuary of Whangateau Harbour? We will be exploring the many hidden treasures of Whangateau both from above and in the water. We welcome all curious minds to discover Whangateau's nightlife by either snorkelling or by going on a stream connection walk with your torch (this is known as spotlighting).
