Ditch the ordinary and embark on an exciting journey to an enchanting tropical island, where you’ll dive headfirst into the captivating world of marine conservation. Join us as a Zanzibar dolphin volunteer and become a guardian of the delicate balance of the local marine ecosystem, protecting it from the harmful effects of human activities. Embark on daily boat journeys and snorkelling through the crystal-clear waters of the Menai Bay Conservation Area whilst carrying out research on both bottlenose and humpback dolphins. You will track their movements, behaviours, and interactions with tourist boats conducting dolphin tours. You will also have the opportunity to swim with the dolphins in an ethical manner.
This intimate volunteer experience (no more than 10 volunteers) is about leaving an impact on the sustainability of all marine life in the surrounding ocean. You do not need to be a skilled researcher when you arrive, but will gain valuable experience in marine research, conservation practices, and cross-cultural communication.
