Patrol Times are very dynamic and needs to be very flexible as we work around when the turtles can nest which is around the tides. The turtles can only nest on or around high tide as the islands are surrounded by shallow fringing reefs.
You can kayak, snorkel, scuba, stand up paddle board and see the sights on the islands
You will be met by one of our staff members at Gurney Airport in Alotau, where our bus will transfer to our boat, the Undersea Explorer.
Food is also basic, please be aware we try to cater for specific dietary requirements, but this is difficult given our remote location. If you do have gluten or other requirements we suggest that you bring a supply of suitable foods with you. We will provide 3 basic meals a day. All food is provided throughout your internship, soft drinks will be available for purchase for $3aud a can. Any islands expenses can be placed onto a tab and can be paid by eftpos at the end of your trip.
