With a backdrop of breathtaking coastal beauty, Mr Jones and Mr Cook will guide the expedition, shedding light on the diverse species that come to life as the ocean’s tide retreats.
The knowledge imparted during the Rockpool Ramble extends beyond mere fascination. The marine biologists will delve into the importance of minimising our impact on these fragile creatures, offering valuable insights into responsible environmental stewardship.
However, it’s important to note that this activity involves some physical challenges. Participants will need to navigate approximately 500 metres along remnant sand dunes, traverse the beach, and negotiate unsteady, uneven, and slippery surfaces during the tour.
