Cawthron Aquaculture Park is opening its doors to the public for the first time in many years!

Book yourself a spot on one of 10 tours that we are running at Cawthron Aquaculture Park on Saturday 28 October.

During each hour-long tour, Cawthron scientists will show you around the facilities, you'll hear a short presentation about Cawthron Institute and you'll visit our National Algae Centre where we'll have some hands-on demonstrations and displays.

Please note;

Each tour is limited to 10 people.
You must wear closed footwear and any PPE gear that we provide.
Children must be aged over the age of eight years and accompanied by a parent/caregiver.
Please don't register or attend this tour if you will be visiting another fish farm in the 72 hours prior to 28 October.
The tour involves moving across uneven ground (eg the Boulder Bank), and entering areas where biosecurity regulations apply (eg footbaths). Please consider this when registering.
A coffee cart will be operating in the parking area but no food or drinks are allowed to be taken on the tour.
Please ensure you are on time for the start time for your tour. If you arrive late for any reason, you may miss your tour and it’s unlikely we’ll have capacity to accommodate you on an alternative tour.
Whilst the tour takes an hour, please allow 90 minutes for this event as there may be delays that are beyond our control. In the event of wet weather, the tour will take less than an hour.
No more than four tickets can be booked by any one person.
