Overview

Experience the dramatic scenery and diving of the Hen and Chicken Islands on this full-day dive charter from Warkworth.

The Islands are common breeding grounds for schools of blue mao mao, sweep, trevally and silver drummer In the summer months, you will occasionally come across Kingfish as you descend these dramatic walls which drop down to boulders and gradually level out exposing cracks where you can find hidden crayfish and large yellow moray eels. There are also large kelp covered boulders that provide refuge for goatfish, red moki and demoiselles.

Book a charter to see the Hen and Chicks for yourself. New Zealand Diving offers a one day charter with 2 dives.

The average visibility is 10-20 metres and access to the dive site is by boat. Your charter includes a 45-minute boat trip out to the islands and 2 separate tank dives. This adventure takes in the wildness of the remote islands, with the possibility of seeing dolphins, sharks and even whales. The diving here seldom disappoints and provides a list of fish on anyone's wish list. Big shoals of fish, spectacular topography and even crays to catch! Your trip is personal and can be tailored to your needs and experiences. You must have dived within the last 12 months – contact us if you need a refresher course. Food and transport not included. We will assist with carpooling arrangements if it's possible.
