bar crossing & boat safety

crossing the bowentown bar


Entering the northern end of Tauranga Harbour across the Bowentown Bar can be dangerous at times. To help boaties we run regular bar orientation courses throughout the year aboard one of our rescue vessels. The trips last approximately one and a half hours.
