The yacht has travelled through coral reefs, icy glaciers and islands full of wild iguanas – just like Charles Darwin did nearly 200 years ago. Now, fresh from their New Zealand mission helping to protect our precious kiwi, the crew wants to share their incredible stories with you!
Join us for an interactive session filled with tales from the sea, stunning photos from around the world, and a behind-the-scenes look at life aboard an expedition yacht.

Talk duration: Approximately 30 minutes, followed by plenty of time for questions.

Recommended for 6-12 year olds.
