      A day as an Oceans 2 Earth volunteer begins with a short walk to the boat before heading out to snorkel over vibrant coral reefs, conducting health surveys and recording marine life to support critical conservation efforts. After a morning of discovery, you return to the island for a relaxing lunch with fellow volunteers. In the afternoon, you tackle marine debris through beach clean-ups, contributing valuable data to global databases, followed by an engaging workshop on marine conservation challenges and solutions. As the sun sets, you enjoy free time to explore the hostel pool and Cairns, and maybe cook up a meal together as a lively communal affair, where stories and laughter are shared.

    Enjoy a wide range of activities!

    There is plenty to do in this vibrant part of Australia so take some time out before or after your placement to explore some of the surrounding areas.

    Cairns and the surrounding areas have it - dive sites, Fitzroy Island National Park, off road driving, ballooning, canoeing, cruising, scuba-diving, kayaking, sailing, scenic flights, shopping, skydiving, snorkelling, swimming, bush walking, rock climbing, wildlife spotting, markets, hot springs, beaches, lakes/rivers/dams, nightlife/clubs/pubs/casinos, roadside stalls, cellar doors, scenic railway, canopy walk, tea plantation, coffee plantation, wineries, sky high cable car, lava tubes, kayaking, spas and galleries.

    Cairns is the best place to soak up the tropical lifestyle. Swim at the Esplanade lagoon, sample local produce at a farmer's market, enjoy free entertainment, shop for a summer wardrobe, visit some caves, National Parks or Falls, or cruise around the marina and check out the night markets. Take a cool dip at a secluded freshwater swimming hole, jump on a bike for a sightseeing tour along the city's network of cycle paths or experience the unique rainforest.

    After dark choose a lively bar for drinks, taste local seafood at an award-winning restaurant, party on a dance floor, discover treasures at the markets or watch a local cultural show.

    This compact city is easy to get around and has the reef, rainforest and outback on its doorstep. With the Cairns International and Domestic airports only 10 minutes from the Central Business District, Cairns is the ideal entry point for a Tropical North Queensland adventure.
