We went to dive with Yukon’s crew to Poor Knight Islands and it was absolutely amazing! They were on time to meet with us and do all the preps to go to dive! They gave us the Right wetsuit for each one, explained to us how to use it, the security norms on board and under the sea and showed us a catalog with all kind of marine life we could find deep down. Once we get to the first point to go down the crew explained the signals and instructions to be safe under the sea. We got the Try dive plan and it was perfect because we were guided hand to hand for a member of the crew and they were very dedicated and keen to give us the best diving experience! Once finished the first immersion, they took us sailing around the islands where we were astonished with those rock formation and arches! And of course we did a second immersion with the crew! The made us feel safe and enjoy the first time so why not to do it again? Excellent service and attention, hot water on board for shower and hot drinks to warm up you after diving. Thank you so much Yukon and your crew!
We chartered the Arrow out to Poor Knights for a one day snorkel/ dive trip with Paula and Herb. The staff was brilliant and the diving was great. The reserve is a treasure. I followed up with gear and tank hire a few days later for a private dive. Jo and Noel couldn’t have been more helpful and prices were reasonable. Thanks team. Would strongly recommend.
Yukon Dive! Wow! The live aboard experience that the Poor Knights deserves! Noel, Jo & Nahuel were professional and friendly hosts and their hospitality almost matched how amazing the Knights are to dive. This is the second time we’ve spent the weekend on Pacific Hideaway and it won’t be the last. Thanks again team!
I went on a three day live aboard with Yukon and it exceeded my expectations! We had so much quality diving packed into three days. The skipper was super knowledgeable and generous with his fuel! He took us on some great sightseeing missions on our surface intervals. The Pacific Hideaway boat was really comfortable and felt homely. The diving was a great mix of wall, cave open, wrecks and night diving. The guides where caring and pointed out some amazing critters! Oh and the kai that was alway ready to plate up when we surfaced was delicious.
Great dive company with solid dive masters and skippers that know a lot about the dive spots and history/details of the Poor Knights Islands. Boats are not too crowded and are well equipped. Also tea/coffee to keep warm. If you can, plan multiple days to dive at the Poor Knights Islands, ensuring you see many different sides of the Island and different dive spots. and in case of bad weather/rough sea
Yukon Dive in Tutukaka takes people out to snorkel and dive in the wonderful underwater world around Poor Knights Island. The staff were very friendly and welcomed everyone onto the little ferry. You could hire the equipment for your underwater experience or bring your own. From about 8:55AM Yukon Dive took us out to Poor Knights Island in about 1.5 hours, it was a bit of a bumpy ride which was hard for me as I get motion sick, but otherwise it is very comfortable on the ferry and there was many places to sit for the 12-15 people aboard that day. The crew also gave us hot drinks and small snacks during the tour, but we had to bring our own lunch aboard. They took us to two locations to snorkel and dive and both places were rich with forests of coloured seaweed and fish, starfish and other small sea animals. There was even tropical fish there which had migrated to here. As it was mid summer the sea temperature was 19 to 21 degrees celsius, but it was still necessary to wear a wet suit to keep warm and keep afloat. The amount of underwater life we saw was very amazing, as it is not a tropical region and winter here is a little cold. After our two underwater experiences, the Caption took us on a tour around parts of the island, in a cave and told us many stories and history of the area a Maori tribe once lived on the island up until the 1800s, we also saw sea birds such as shags, terns, sea gulls and gannet who were probably fishing in the area. The crew said sometimes dolphins are can also be seen on the tour. We returned back to the mainland at 4:00PM. It was definitely a worthy and top NZ experience, although a little expensive at $190 per adult, but you will be rewarded with abundant sea-life and a look into the water world not often seen.
We did the Try Dive and absolutely loved our trip! The crew was very professional and friendly and took good care of us. After the first dive we decided to do a second dive and it was amazing. Our guide took the time to explain the equipment and showed us everything underwater. In conclusion; we highly recommed Yukon Dive for your divetrip to the Poor Knights. Thanks again!
We booked a dive and Snorkeling trip with Yukon, precompleted all the forms weeks before we had left home. We had accommodation booked in the area and as we were driving north the day before the trip, received an email saying that it had been canceled. They blamed it on unavailability of staff and then further, that as we hadn't paid a deposit meant we were only an 'enquiry'! The deposit request had only arrived a couple of days earlier while we were on the road... We had gone to significant lengths to fit this excursion in to our road trip. Incredibly dissapointing that they can make up stories and cancel trips like that without so much as a phone call. Reading below reviews it seems we aren't the only ones who have received a cop out from Yukon. Luckily we went round the corner to Dive! Tutukaka who treated us to the most amazing day, and have incredible staff, facilities and knowledge. Don't take the risk, just book your dive with Dive! Tutukaka.
The whole team at Yukon did an awesome job on our live aboard. Very professional and knowledgeable. Can't recommend them enough. Absolute amazing weekend diving.
Lovely day snorkeling trip. Skippered by the owner who has 20+ years of experience sailing and diving this area, and the rest of the team was great too. Hot shower onboard Pacific Hideaway was the winner after the cold dips. Also nice to support a smaller, more intimate business than their competitors Dive! Tutukaka. I would just consider adding paid lunch as an option, one couple were surprised there wasn't any available onbaord.
