About Trevor’s Rocks
Trevor's Rocks is a sheltered Poor Knights site with a shallow sandy arch, three pinnacles, and a kelp forest that makes it easy to slow down and look for life. Green turtles, grey morays, koheru, demoiselles, blue mao mao, eagle rays, and frogfish can turn up across the site, and the broader reserve keeps the scenery and marine life busy. It suits calm-boat days, relaxed scuba, and snorkel or freedive exploration on the shallow top.
