WILD SEA The Cantabrian Project
Expediciones al Mar Cantabrico
ALNITAK partnering with WILD SEA offers immersive experiences ranging from 2 to 7 days aboard the Toftevaag. Join us for marine exhibitions, beach and river clean-ups, and more as part of our conservation team. Explore the diverse ecosystems of the Cantabrian Sea while sailing on our historic vessel. Immerse yourself in the rich culture of Asturian communities along the northern Spanish coast.
These “Toftevaag Cantabrian Sea Expedition” are the opposite of the traditional “germanic style” Alnitak expeditions that our volunteers have been used to. In terms of logistics, this means that volunteers joining the Toftevaag will need to adjust their mind set and be flexible to where exactly they board Toftevaag, and where they disembark.
Volunteers are vital to our work
Your share of 100 € a day, covers living costs while on board plus supports the scientific programs. It also includes membership, and is tax-deductible.
Life on Toftevaag
Depending on the weather and sea conditions, there are different types of days. Ideally, when conditions are adequate we aim to spend as much time as possible sailing, making our slow way towards our destination. Everyone helps in daily chores such as sail the ship, and do other chores such as cooking and cleaning. When the weather is less ideal, there is still plenty to do such as ship maintenance. Every single day is unique due to weather, sea state, wildlife that we may encounter, harbours, the crew and volunteers on board, and more variables, meaning that there is an aspect of uncertainty and excitement that adds to the sense of adventure.
