Project Dates

The Seychelles Island Conservation Volunteer Programme takes place the whole year on North Island with the possibility to volunteer for 4 to 8 weeks and starts on a Monday and finishes 25 days later on a Friday.

The main island of Mahé, is home to the Seychelles International Airport. You must arrive by Monday morning, in time to catch the 08:30 AM staff boat to North Island (which departs from the Marine Charter Harbour in Victoria).

If you cannot find a flight arriving early on Monday morning, allowing enough time to get from the Airport to the Marine Charter Harbour for the 08:30 AM boat on Monday morning, then rather fly in to Mahé on the Sunday, and overnight (accommodation and taxi will be covered)

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with victoria.mcneil@workingabroad.com if you have any questions.
