Family-friendly guided rockpooling session with all the kit you need!
About the experience
This 90-minute experience can be privately booked from April to October inclusive. Start your Rockpool Safari adventure here! Join seasoned rockpooling guide Ingrid Allan at some of the best spots for shoreline wildlife in Sussex. All the family can get involved in the search for marine creatures such as Atlantic Rock Shrimp, Beadlet Anenome, Shore Crab, Shanny, and even the chance of Common Starfish and Brittlestar. Rockpool Safaris are ideal for birthday parties and special occasions, but the experience is also an exciting and memorable way to get hands-on with nature as a family. Our selected locations have easy access to public toilets, and snacks and light refreshments will be provided. After a short safety briefly, we will follow the tide out for a 90-minute session of rockpool exploration.
