Australia: Beachside Wildlife Adventure‎ > ‎

Is This Trip Right for You?

Discover Corps wants our travelers to be as prepared as possible. Please read the points below thoroughly to see if this trip is right for you. Please reach out to the Travel Coordinator for any additional clarification or questions.

 Volunteering - The program at David Fleay Wildlife Park can include some high-intensity work with uneven terrain, walking, lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods while you join the rangers in some of their daily tasks. If you have any physical limitations, please communicate with Discover Corps before your trip

 Great Barrier Reef Day - In Cairns, you are going to enjoy one of the highlights of this trip: see the Great Barrier Reef. To get to the point where you are going to snorkel, it takes a 2h30 boat ride. The way there can cause seasickness, so please make sure to bring and take anti-nausea medication to prevent any symptoms.

Activities may include:

• Helping care for the wildlife at the center

• Preparing the food

• Feeding the animals

• Cleaning their enclosures

• Planting around the grounds

• Being of any assistance to the rangers and staff
