    Henting fra flyplassen på Dabolim Airport

    Programs begin every Monday, and volunteers are required to arrive the day prior, for orientation before the project. Your accommodation on the Sunday is included in the program fees.

    A free airport pickup is included when arriving to Dabolim International Airport (GOI) or MOPA Airport (GOX). You must arrive between 06:00 to 24:00 on Sunday.

    If arriving outside the pickup times we charge an additional fee for any extra night’s accommodation before your program, and another fee for a private transfer.

    Alternatively, if arriving early you could wait at the arrival’s terminal for the pickup time, book accommodation at the airport and meet us during the pickup times or make your own way to the project (we will advise on how to do this).

    From the airport to accommodation, it takes 45 minutes by road.
