So happy to be here with AIO students and staff while they are busy learning about the ocean and having fun! I look forward to sharing our winter programs in Florida and Belize with them so they can continue their marine explorations!

Sayonara, Japan! It was an amazing trip with an incredible group of people! Until next time…

Arrived back in Tokyo last night and took in a movie at the Toho Godzilla theatre in shinjuku . And we celebrated Laurel’s birthday 🎂 .

Even in the rain, Kyoto is a magical place! We had our tea ceremony yesterday along with an exploration of Kodaiji Temple and the old town. On arrival in Kyoto we visited a Samaurai center for a show and demonstration. Enjoy just a few of the photos yet to come!

Everyone who was set to arrive in Japan has arrived. We have a tired bunch but we're looking forward to the adventure. Tomorrow morning we head to Okinawa!

Excited for our next Sea Star Explorations adventure in Japan starting on Friday! We'll be posting photos and updates on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok so be sure to follow us. If you're missing this one, don't worry. We're offering trips to Florida, Belize, Japan, Ireland, Baja and California later this year and in 2027 for high school students and adults.

Removing these monitoring buoys is a dangerous move since they provide important data on the oceans which create our weather. We will essentially be blindfolded and won't know what's happening until we feel the water lapping at our feet.
