Paku just now.

14/12/2024

UPDATE: 9 January 2025: Paku Jetty has some sand build-up and this is causing a problem at low tide. To mitigate this, we need to limit the number of passengers boarding at Paku Jetty at low tide. Please ensure you pay attention to the Captain's announcements. We will get passengers across, we may just need to do a number of trips. Thanks for your patience while we deal with nature's fun.
