Blue Zoo

Eight lucky Rookies from Australia and Ireland embark on an epic marine adventure, working with rescued dolphins, seals, penguins and turtles. They're thrown in the deep end for an early morning dolphin rescue with a twist.

The Rookies attend an early morning dolphin rescue that's not what it seems. One Rookie gets a wake up call when a seal almost bites the hand that feeds her and team tackle fun jobs like seal poop cleaning!

The Rookies are excited about a new arrival at the park. To their delight, the dolphins and seals start to respond to the team's behaviour signals. An emergency call finds Jaymin and Dana going to save a turtle in distress.

It's time for the Rookies to face park boss Paige to pitch their ideas and it's a scary prospect for all of them. The team scour local beaches and unearth some shocking facts about rubbish pollution.

Park boss Paige sets the Rookies a few deadlines for their upcoming show; Ivy and Darragh care for two fluffy penguin chicks; and the entire team set off by chopper and dive boat for a trip of a lifetime.

Tallann and Sophie monitor Calamity as her due date approaches; work gets underway on the penguin makeover; and Bailey, Sophie and Ivy go with the rescue team out on an emergency call out.

The life of the dolphin Hope still hangs in the balance as the team continues to care for her. Turtle man, Jaymin, lives his dream of releasing turtles back into the wild.

Bailey's in for a treat as trainer Janine introduces him to her infamous 'Fish Prep Dance'; Tallann has some serious setbacks with his seal handling techniques; and Hope the dolphin finally returns to the wild!

VIP day has arrived; the Rookies need to buckle down to hone their animal handling skills along with a final polish to the opening of their Blue Zoo show! Sophie assists Dr Duan in an emergency operation for Nikki the Seal

With just a day or so to go before their debut performance, Aaron stirs the Rookies into action with the promise of a 'bridging' whistle if they succeed; Nikki the aged seal is recovering.

It's the Rookies' final day after their six-week adventure but there's no respite as the team wake at 5am for Carmen's release back to the wild before they head to the park their debut performance.
