“My time with Project Hiu was life changing! Forming a relationship with “the boys” (shark fishermen) was certainly one of the highlights and a big part of why I want to come back. The founder and general manager of Project Hiu are also intrinsically involved with the surrounding community, which was amazing to witness. I can’t think of a better way to help sharks than by supporting those that had no choice then to fish sharks before this project. This internship is definitely what you make of it, so come ready to create something of your own and have fun!”

“I started my one month internship with Project Hiu in April and I loved it so much I decided to extend to two months. In my time here, I have grown close with the shark fishermen and built bonds that will last a lifetime. I am thankful to Madison Stewart and Madyson Clost, founder and general manager of the project, for giving me this opportunity to learn ecotourism management and helping me develop my own project to contribute as well. I feel I have learned and grown throughout this internship and it is an experience I will never forget.”

“I did the month long internship with project hiu and I could not recommend more! This internship gives you hands on experience with running the day trips and helping the project behind the scenes with whatever you can bring to the table ! You’re managed by the best team and you’ll quickly become such a close family with all the interns and the crew. It was the most fulfilling experience I’ve ever had and I definitely will be coming back!”

“My experience with Project Hiu was nothing short of amazing and unforgettable. From the moment I met the fishermen, they welcomed me like family, making me feel at home despite the short two week stay. Each day was filled with fun and meaningful tasks that kept me engaged and excited to contribute. Project Hiu is an impactful initiative that I’m proud to have been a part of.”
