Marine conservation holidays are a fun but also richly rewarding experience. In many cases, you get to go to some of the most beautiful and unusual places in the world. Often they are remote and largely un-spoilt, which only adds to their beauty. As part of the projects you also get the opportunity to encounter stunning marine wildlife including the breathtaking whale, the impressive great white shark, and the magnificent whale shark - the world's biggest fish. The best part is that you can do all of this without posing a detriment to the animals or their marine habitat, and any of the work you do during your marine conservation holiday is sure to make a lasting difference.
The only thing you have to do now is decide where you want to go! For example, you could head to Sri Lanka and its stunning beaches to help in a conservation project working with sea turtles, or you could join the Mafia Island Whale Shark Conservation project which will bring you to the stunning Tanzanian Coast. These are once in a lifetime holidays that will give you memories for the rest of your life. So why not find out more today?
