Gegevens over jouw aankomst
It is an early Monday morning start, so volunteers need to arrive at Cape Town International Airport on the Sunday preferably in daylight hours and overnight in Cape Town at a hostel of our choice which is included in the cost.
If volunteers prefer to choose their own alternative accommodation within the Cape Town city vicinity, that will be for their own cost.
An overnight stay in Cape Town on returning on the Monday, can be arranged too for a small fee. Meals are not included in the Cape Town overnight stays.
Volunteers are welcome to arrive a few days before to do sightseeing and acclimatise to the region and we are happy to advise and give tips on what to see and do.
Although you can do our Marine Conservation project for a minimum of 8 days, we do recommend a minimum of two weeks as if bad weather days, then the boats may not go out and you may not experience all the aspects of the project.
