An abundance of adventure

Volunteer expeditions

Volunteer expeditions are designed to give you the chance to explore, travel and immerse yourself in diverse cultures and communities in some of the most remote and exhilarating locations. From diving in vulnerable marine areas to terrestrial surveys within protected national parks to living on otherwise uninhabited islands, a volunteer expedition is a chance for you to go places where regular travellers can’t. You will live and work with an international group of like-minded volunteers tackling a broad range of challenges from conservation to  community development.
