I participated in the reserve marine conservation project, and it was an incredible experience that I highly recommend to all nature lovers, especially those fascinated by the ocean. Don't worry if you've never gone diving or don't have any knowledge of biology; you can still experience the beauty of the underwater world for the first time, just like I did. You will be amazed by the beauty of nature and feel grateful for the amazing people you will meet and the incredible experiences you will have. I hope to return one day. Sending love from Italy. Thank you, the reserve!

I completed 3 weeks with EcoHero Programme with Gilang, Tabitha and team ❤️. It was well structured, with elements of education / spreading awareness on marine conservation + Diving. We had lectures and class time to learn about Indicator Species, Marine Ecology, Coral conservation. As for the dives, the crystal clear waters of the reserve are simply unparalleled, with lots of beautiful marine life. Maintaining coral / coral watch programme made me feel as if I was truly actively contributing to the cause. I suggest a minimum of 2 weeks to get the full experience, i left wanting to do more :)

I had a lovely experience at the Ecohero project! The team, the accomodation, the project, everything was wonderful. What Ecohero is doing is so important and by participating in the project, you really feel like you're making a change. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who enjoys spending time in the ocean and want to contribute to it's preservation.

An amazing experience in the reserve Program, we learned theory and practical about marine conservation such as turtle id, manta id, indicators fish species and coral restoration. If you love marine life you should do this volunteer program.

At the beginning we were not very sure about what to expect from Ecohero program, and it turned to be one of the best experiences we had since we started to travel! It was simply amazing to learn about marine conservation and be hands-on at the same time at every dive and every data-input. We believe that what is being build by Gilang in the reserve is essential! Even more in a place mostly dominated by massive tourism. This is the chance to be the difference, learn, act and have fun at the same time! Thank you for everything and everyone at Sanctum and Ecohero!

Loved my time here and can't wait to go back. The programme is new so a few things left to iron out. We didn't get taken to the turtle hatchery and sometimes the communication of the day left a lot to be desired. Sadly, the price on Worldpackers is not an accurate reflection.
