Explore the Hauraki Gulf these school holidays with Riley Hathaway from Young Ocean Explorers! Bring the kids and join us for a very special Tikapa Moana Whales, Dolphins & Islands Cruise as part of the Young Ocean Explorers popular 2025 Explorers Programme.

Riley will be sharing a fun and educational presentation for children of all ages with entertaining stories about the ocean, the importance of looking after the moana and the diverse marine wildlife that calls the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park home.

After some marine wildlife spotting around the Gulf we will stop off at Rotoroa Island for a coastal discovery walk at Ladies Bay with one of Rotoroa Island's Lead Educators.

Spaces are very limited so book now to avoid disappointment.
