Hands Up Holidays takes you to exotic destinations for a holiday, where you not only see the sights, but can be fulfilled by 'hands-on' Community Development work.
Here is a selection of some of the fantastic destinations and holidays...
Brazil – explore the mighty Iguacu Falls, the Pantanal’s wildlife and helping with repair and renovations at a homeless children’s shelter in Campinas, near Sao Paolo.
China – encounter Beijing, the Great Wall, the terracotta warriors, the limestone formations of Guilin, and dynamic Shanghai, as well as assisting for 4 days in an orphanage near Beijing
Ecuador and Galapagos Islands – experience UNESCO World Heritage Quito, the avenue of the volcanoes, Otavalo market, and the wonders of the Galapagos Islands, where you explore and also spend 3 days helping the local fishermen with beach cleanups to preserve this unique eco-system.
Vietnam – be enriched in Saigon, the Mekong Delta, Nha Trang, Hoi An, imperial Hue, Hanoi, the hill tribes of Sapa, majestic Halong Bay, and spend 4 days helping victims of Agent Orange.
Fiji - enjoy the Outrigger Resort and Denarau Island, but also experience the other side of Fiji not commonly seen by tourists, and help for 3 days at an orphanage or home for solo mothers and their children.
Australia – if you thought you knew Australia, think again! This overland adventure departs from familiar territory in Cairns (including the Great Barrier Reef) and goes north through the Daintree Rainforest to Cooktown, Laura, the famed Aboriginal rock art in Jowalbinna, Lakefield National Park and keep going almost to the very top, where you spend 4 days working alongside Aboriginal rangers doing turtle conservation
