Fleurieu Marine Education

Adventure and Outdoors Tours

Fleurieu Marine Education strives to spark curiosity by facilitating opportunities to investigate and explore the maritime world. We believe in encouraging young minds to interact with the natural environment.

The natural world provides many opportunities for us to experiment with ideas; to think, question and make hypotheses.

By engaging people outside we show them the wonders of the sea around the Fleurieu Peninsula: what marine life is found here, and how can we help them survive.
