New!!! Kids program; Biologist for a tour!

Your kids get to be a Marine biologist collecting data for the time of our tour. We provide them each with an observation sheet where we will enter information about what we see during the tour. They will learn about the whales and other marine animals, take water temperature, assist in using the hydrophone and learn how we use the Happy Whale application to share our data. At the end of the tour they will receive a whale sticker for work well done. We offer this program for no extra fees it is free. We just want to communicate our love of animals to the kids.
