Experience-based marine and freshwater education

We run hands-on programmes that connect students with freshwater and marine environments. In-person activities like snorkelling and stream investigations help tamariki and rangatahi to explore local ecosystems, grow their understanding, and take action to protect the environment.
How we can work together
Single-day programmes on-location at marine reserves or streams. See our Experiencing Marine Reserves and Whitebait Connection pages for more.
Multi-day programmes with in-class sessions, local investigations, a snorkel/stream visit at a pristine site, and a follow-up action project.
Deep alignment with Science curriculum, EOTC requirements
Comprehensive RAS/RAMS forms, and thorough health and safety support
Adventure Activities Safety Audit (AAO 534) accreditation.
All equipment provided! You bring the kids, we bring the gear.
Your feedback is very important to us and helps us secure funding for future programmes around Aotearoa. If you have completed a school programme with Mountains to Sea - either Whitebait Connection or Experiencing Marine Reserves, please complete our evaluation forms.
