Kids are our eco-warriors of the future. They are ultimately the ones faced with a HUGE clean-up of our earth.

Join our passionate marine-scientists for expert education and interactive research studies as we head out on the beautiful Waitemata Harbour. This is a 2 hour learning session out on the water, aboard Dolphin Explorer. Tailored for any audience and age, we incorporate a multitude of visual teaching aids to express how things are out there in the oceans.
