“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain

How much does it cost?
Kanahau currently runs on donations we receive no government funding and as such there is a fee to participate in the research programme. All these fees go back into the conservation project, providing funds for research equipment, wages for field guides, supplies for the education programme etc.
The fee to join our General volunteer programme is $450 (US dollars) per week. If you stay for over 3 weeks then a $50 discount is applied, dropping the price to $400 for each additional week.
For example a four week stay would cost $1750. This includes accommodation, 3 vegetarian meals a day (excluding Sundays). pick up from Utila airport or ferry dock, learning materials, training in research methods, fieldwork support, kayaking and boat trips for research proposes.
If your are joining us as an Independent researcher the fees are calculated at $350 per week for the first 3 weeks then reduced to $300 per week for every week you stay. For example a 6 week stay will cost $1,950.
