We’re embarking on an exciting journey to uncover the secrets of the deep. Come with us as we document life on seamounts and the damage done by bottom trawling.

Get on board – Auckland Open Days
The Rainbow Warrior is now back in Auckland and we will be open to the public for free tours on the weekends of 12th – 13th and 19th – 20th July.
