We'd like to apologise...

We've had to make some changes to our school holiday schedule and our 'Marine Biologist for a Day' program will now run on both Friday 2nd and 9th of October instead of Monday 28th September. The good news is, you get double the fun! 🀿

From kayaking, SUP and snorkelling to beach games, bushwalks and nature-based adventures, we've got the school holidays covered for ages 7-12.

Save 10% with code 'SPRING26' until 6 September.
