This was a very loosely organized tour. More formal tours are available on weekends, I'm not sure of the cost. The Ocean Institute is a working classroom for youths, but the tour is fascinating for adults as well. There are three boats used for research and education, which the weekend tours explore in more detail. We just had a look at them from shore. The institute itself contains underwater exploration equipment, models of the ocean floor, and several aquariums. One contains several species of sharks (small ones), and another contains moon jellies, eerie and beautiful. The tour took about 1½ hours and was time well spent.
