Two Oceans Aquarium volunteers are ocean-minded members of our community who dedicate their free time to spreading awareness and love of the marine environment, caring for the animals at the Aquarium, and assisting in the technical aspects of running a top Cape Town attraction.

You don't need any prior experience or qualifications to become a volunteer! This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who wants to dip their toes into a future career in marine science or those who already have a job and want a hobby that keeps their connection to the ocean alive.

We protect marine ecosystems through our sustainability efforts and work towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
