Testimonial
"Having done some research on sustainable fishing methods, visiting the Opotiki Community Reef site was incredibly interesting. It is an excellent example of what can be done to ensure that fish populations thrive in the future."
Alison M., Hampshire, UK


Testimonial
"Thank you for taking us out on such an awesome fishing trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I am still amazed that we caught so many fish (large snapper, kahawai, gurnard and mackerel) in only 2.5 hours fishing. I have been fishing for many years, but never before have I caught so many quality fish in such a short time."
