Sul programma

On this volunteer program in Malaysia, you’ll contribute to island conservation efforts through a combination of community engagement, snorkelling and kayaking. We’re committed to education initiatives with a focus on healthy ecosystems and marine conservation. This ensures benefits for both the local community and the marine park through sustainable ecotourism.

In the short term, our goal is to offer environmental awareness classes and activities for the local community and visitors to the Perhentian Islands. Looking ahead, our goal is to spearhead marine conservation efforts by partnering with local community members and stakeholders. This collaboration ensures long-term benefits for both people and nature.

Location
Tucked away off the northeastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, The Perhentian Islands promise a genuine tropical adventure. Kuala Besut, the closest city, serves as the gateway for island transfers, making it easy to reach this remote destination. 

Discover Perhentian Kecil Island through our volunteer program, where you’ll live in the island’s sole village. Dive into vibrant coral reefs, encounter diverse marine life and enjoy breathtaking underwater scenes while snorkeling or diving. Enjoy authentic local cuisine and immerse yourself in traditional Malay culture, all set against serene beaches perfect for relaxation and stunning sunsets over turquoise waters.

Your contribution
As a volunteer in Malaysia, you’ll play a vital role in these initiatives. You might be teaching environmental education, helping with coral conservation or joining kayak patrols to keep waters clean.
