I had an unforgettable time with sea turtles! Met the best people and the staff was great. It was so hands-on and so rewarding. Met my new friend Katie which was great. My only knock was that sometimes it could feel a little clicky between different groups.

This was an amazing program start to finish. I learned so much about marine life in Greece while helping out. The views were amazing and I loved Darren and Gem, the leaders. Great experience all around.

My brief two weeks in Italy and Greece has been the most humbling and overwhelming experience. Got so close to wildlife and learned tons but also realized the gaps in my own knowledge. I loved the hands-on approach which made it feel exciting.
