Toddler Time on the Water

An outdoor exploration experience for our youngest naturalists

Quick Details

Adult/Child pair

$25 for each additional child

$ 55

This experience begins with a short boat ride to a nearby sandbar or beach, where toddlers are free to explore at their own pace. Activities focus on sensory discovery rather than instruction and may include:

  • exploring sand and shells
  • splashing at the shoreline
  • watching birds
  • simple games and movement
  • noticing textures like sand, water, and shells

On the return trip, we cruise slowly back toward the marina, keeping an eye out for dolphins along the way.

This one-hour format offers just the right balance of movement, novelty, and calm—keeping both toddlers and adults engaged without overstimulation.

Who This Experience Is For

  • Children ages 3 and under
  • Toddlers who enjoy movement and sensory play
  • Caregivers looking for low-stress outdoor time together

An adult must accompany each child (or children) for the duration of the experience.

If your child has a sibling close in age, feel free to reach out—joining together is often possible.
