February 26, 2025by: Elliot LEJCZYKProgram: Island Conservation Expedition to the SeychellesI loved my time here, my 8 weeks passed at a speed I could never have imagined. the staff members are great and always attentive! if I could stay here, I would stay, I loved each of the activities we were able to do here.

September 12, 2024by: Abby FoxallProgram: Island Conservation Expedition to the SeychellesI Really Enjoyed My Time Here, Got On With The Staff Really Well And Had A Great Time In The Water. It Was Really Fun Making Friends Here And Making This My Home For A Month. I'd Love To Return Some Day!
I enjoyed the people on base and all of our activities
August 29, 2024by: Sonja TreschProgram: Island Conservation Expedition to the SeychellesIt was a nice six week experience. I enjoyed the people on base and all of our activities but I would have wished for more possibilities and not only doing photography in six weeks. It gets boring and I did not pay that much money not learning and doing more stuff for the environment and so on. Offer more possibilities or assign specific things not longer than three weeks if it makes sense for people who are staying longer. I heard many more complains about only doing the same stuff for six weeks straight.
