I know this sounds cheesy, but the entire week was like a movie from start to finish. Emma and Milo made us feel so welcome and loved. We were steps away from the ocean and I felt one with nature the entire week!

The host and group on this trip was life changing! Everyone was so sweet and welcoming. We did things from helping Babby turtles to the sea, helping them nest eggs, cooking classes, surfing, and so much more. Everyone there was so helpful no matter what the need was, they helped you arrive and leave the project, took us in under their wing, taught us Spanish and how important their mission was. This was such an amazing experience and the people I met were strangers turned friends.

Our hosts were very wonderful people, and they made us feel very welcomed and appreciated. Their whole operation is very inspiring and beautiful to see. The property is pretty insane--directly on the beach on an intimate and thriving slice of perfect beach. Awesome opportunity to meet fellow travelers.

This trip was truly amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this trip but I'm so glad I got to experience every part of it. Milo and his team are truly passionate about what they are doing in this project and it makes you appreciate efforts like this one much more. There was quite a bit of free time as the other reviews suggest but it gives you a chance to explore other parts of the area and interact more with locals

My time spent at the shelter was better than anything I could've ever imagined. The host was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Emma made the experience seamless and even helped coordinate travel to and from the accommodations. Milo takes so much pride and passion in his work with the turtles and it is truly something special to see. I would recommend this experience to anyone seeking to make new friends, live on a beautiful island, and make a positive impact with one of the most beautiful creatures.

This was the best experience I've ever had. Milo, Emma, and Sonya are the kindest people you will ever meet, and they are so dedicated to giving you a great experience and teaching you all about sea turtles. They had so many fun activities planned, and I really had an amazing time and made lifelong friendships 🥰
