STUDENTS VISIT US!

We had a week (and a bit) of EXTRA energy on our tours, as all the Gr3 classes from Hermanus Primary visited us!

Much fun was had, many questions asked, and potential future marine biologists were sent out again 🤓

Their teachers had them write about their experience, and here you can read some…

✅ We encourage any other schools in Hermanus (and even further away) that might be interested in coming on our educational tours, to just reach out and get in touch 👍

(each class had their own private slot in the mornings, before our regular 11am tours)

Come join us on a tour ✅

Abalone greetings 👋

You’re getting some good ocean views too 👌😎
Our guests exploring the abalone farm with our head guide. We show you the pump station with filters, then hatchery, and finally the abalone in baskets under the solar panels.

Come join us on a tour ✅

This week’s Scoop shines a light on the stories connecting Hermanus to the ocean and the people shaping our town. From the fascinating journey of local abalone farming to the passionate team behind Heart of Abalone Tours sharing that story with visitors, it’s a reminder of how deeply our town is...

Think this was our first group from on our educational tour! We had a blast hosting these friendly folks, they even sang for us at the end as a show of appreciation- how nice is that!?
