Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable Marine Rangers deliver a jam packed, fun and immersive experience.  Catering to the needs, ages and abilities of all involved, whether that be a 90-year-old in a care home or a 3-year-old in a nursery.

Don’t just take our word for it but the testimonials of our valued customers within educational and care settings.

  • The children really enjoyed the group sessions and getting to touch and hold the different sea creatures. The ranger was very good with the children and engaging when talking about the rockpool. We however didnt have the introductory talk at the beginning of the day.

  • Thank you for such a wonderful experience. The children were fascinated and because of how informative and knowledgeable the rangers were, our reception children were able to ask some amazing questions. It has been the talk of the school and there was a real buzz in the classroom even the following day!
