High School Study Abroad in Hilo, Hawaii (USA)

We’ll dive right into Hawaii’s biggest island on an adventure sure to leave you feeling rewarded and refreshed. Team up with a local marine conservation organization to earn 20 hours of community service while becoming ambassadors for a healthy Hawaiian ecosystem. Experience hands-on learning while working closely with marine biologists on important projects focused on the ocean and local sea life. Snorkel, survey reefs, collect ocean data and become educated about reef ecology. After three days of our marine biology project, you’ll officially become a certified reef teacher! Plenty of adventure will complement our service projects — swim in secret waterfalls, sail alongside pods of dolphins, witness an active volcano glow at night, snorkel with giant manta rays, take a surf lesson, and much more on this incredible journey to discover the best of Hawaii! These programs are designed to nurture older teens and teach them to be more savvy travelers. Because as you grow, your interests and needs do too. So get ready to explore the very best the 50th State has to offer, connect with nature and local communities, and learn how to be an independent traveler!
