ISLAND ADVENTURES
Our expeditions are one-of-a-kind travel adventures which bring Seacology supporters face-to-face with the island habitats that our projects protect and the island communities that we work closely with. These trips combine land- and sea-based activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking and kayaking with fascinating visits to Seacology project sites. (more)
