Volunteer with Whales and Dolphins

Volunteering with whale and dolphin programs is a fascinating opportunity to discover the secret lives of these impressive ocean animals...

Volunteering with whale and dolphin programs is a fascinating opportunity to discover the secret lives of these impressive ocean animals. Unfortunately, whales and dolphins are endangered and rely on human rescue and conservation attempts. Take part in Marine Life study projects where you collectively go diving in to clear blue waters to collect insightful data about our colorfully populated sea world.

Volunteering with whales and dolphins is the perfect chance for Animal lovers to travel and do something meaningful for animals and the environment. Join a program by the coast in Madagascar, Australia and many other beautiful countries to chose from, and start your journey as a marine life caretaker and researcher now. As a volunteer you also get to improve you English language skills and enjoy the company of friendly new people.
