Join an Expedition!
On selected voyages we have space for students, volunteers, researchers, members or project participants on board. These expeditions are not ordinary sailing holidays. They are hands-on filed experiences in remote marine environments, where participants contribute to learning, observation, documentation and ocean conservation.
Our Programs, Projects and Expeditions:
Our next Destinations:
All Year 2026: The Philippines
2027: The Philippines and Melanesia
