Expedition dates & costs 2024

We are proud to be restarting our volunteer programme. Find out some of the key details here.

Resumption of volunteer expeditions

It has been a long time coming, but we are very pleased to finally announce that we are restarting our volunteer operations in the Philippines.

As challenging as they have been, the last two years have also proved to be an exciting time with the establishment of a new operational site on the provincial island of Biliran.

However, please note, at this time we are only able to accept NON-DIVING volunteers on our site on Malapascua. We are working hard to restart diving as soon as possible but it does present additional logistical challenges.

For those who wish to dive, there will still be opportunities to do so in your own time with any of the dive centres found on the island.

What will I do on an expedition?
