About Diveworks Charters
Diveworks Charters is a locally owned and operated charter company based in Whakatāne, offering unforgettable experiences on the stunning waters of the Bay of Plenty. With a deep respect for the ocean and years of hands on experience, we specialise in small group marine adventures that showcase the best of out coastline and the offshore islands.
Our charters range from dolphin and seal encounters to island trips, snorkeling, fishing and private charters. Whether your visiting Whale Island (Moutohora), exploring local marine life or simply enjoying time on the water, our focus is on creating relaxed, safe and memorable experiences.
We pride ourselves on personalised service, local knowledge, and operating in harmony with the marine environment. By keeping group sizes small, we ensure a more intimate experience while minimising our impact on wildlife and natural surroundings.
At Diveworks Charters, its not about rushing through a tour, its about sharing our passion for the ocean and giving you a chance to truly connect with this unique part of New Zealand.
