Island Bay Marine Reserve


Our day today started at the Island Bay Marine Reserve.
It was a perfect day, not a cloud in the sky and views across Cook Strait to the snow covered hills of the South Island.
We spent time exploring the rock pools and found crabs, anemones, starfish, periwinkles, hermit crabs, cockabullies’ and shrimp.

Inside the boathouse we got to see and touch an amazing range of sea life.  Some even accepted the challenge to feed the turtles from their mouths!

  1. Oh gosh guys! School here is starting to look very boring! What wonderful experiences you are having! I think I will volunteer to be a teacher next time! Loved your mexican wave at the stadium and you found some really interesting creatures at the rocky shore. You might be getting a bit tired by now so take extra good care of each other! God bless and love, Mrs Neilson
    Grandma Joyce says 'hi' Caitlin! She missed you on Tuesday night! And Silvia is still being a pain saying "Where's Caitlin?" Love you to bits, Grandma
