In Eco Teen: Shark Swim, we’ll bring out your teen’s adventurous side and let them dive right in - with our sharks - for the experience of a lifetime! AQWA's school holiday program for ages 12-16 is packed with marine-themed action and activities, including snorkelling with gentle grey nurse sharks in Australia's largest single aquarium. Plus, they’ll secretly be learning all about shark biology, ecology and sustainability. That’s a win for them, for you and for the ocean! A fantastic 4 hour program where you can drop & go, and teens gear-up and get wet!
