As you wander down the shore towards the waters edge, you’ll learn fascinating facts and ID skills about the many curious creatures your guide will help you to find.
Once near the water’s edge, at low tide, things get really mesmerising. Species normally only found under the sea can be seen and your guide will teach you how it find them.
Once you are feeling confident, you’ll be able to use our specialist waterproof cameras to record the wildlife you discover, contributing to our citizen science and conservation work! Little ones can join in to with our exciting Rock Pool Bingo cards.
After your experience, and perhaps an ice-cream or a swim, we will upload your finds to our system and send you your very own, personal Rock Pool Report as a pdf – the perfect memento of your special safari on the rocky shore.
