This is what your adventure trip looks like

Week 1: Welcome & First Steps in Conservation Your expedition begins with a warm welcome in Bahoi village, North Minahasa.

The first two days are dedicated to coral restoration, followed by a fun dive or snorkeling session to enjoy the reefs participants are helping to protect. The week then shifts to ecological surveys: monitoring seagrass meadows, deploying BRUVs, and using drone flights to spot megafauna such as Dugongs, Reefsharks, Turtles or Rays. To balance the pace, Week 1 ends with a rest day — a chance to relax or discover more of the area on a local tour.
