What to expect:
Our program combines work, education and leisure. Apart from meaningful tasks, you can expect outstanding cultural connections and regular fun activities.
What kind of work you’ll be doing:
| Recurring chores include: | Our sea turtle work encompasses the following: |
| – helping out around the project site – sustainability projects – community projects (e.g. english classes) – gardening and forest management – social media, painting etc. | – go on night patrols (~3 hours) – relocate nests – check and maintain the hatchery – release hatchlings – help with nest exhumations |
Remember:
- Sea turtle nesting peaks between mid August and mid November, with most nests hatching between October and January. During that time, we mainly work in the afternoon and at night.
