This volunteering experience was truly unforgettable. Milo was incredible. He explained everything so clearly and with so much passion. Thanks to him and Emma, I learned a lot about sea turtles and their conservation. Being able to help protect them, and watching the baby turtles reach the ocean, was one of the most emotional and magical moments of my life. This was my very first volunteer experience, and it honestly couldn't have gone better.

Coming here was the best decision I've made! I went in with an open mind and it was so rewarding. The housing isn't luxurious but you have everything you could need and don't spend a lot of time indoors anyway. You are staying on a very rural strip of beach but getting to town is cheap and pretty easy. During my time there I got to help rescue over 700 eggs from poachers and release at least 150 baby turtles to the ocean. I also met so many amazing people, including Milo, Sonia, and Emma. I speak very little Spanish but got to learn a lot. I would 100% recommend this experience!

I spent 2 incredible weeks with Milo's sea turtle non-profit in a small, secluded beach town near Quepos. Where he made it as simple as can be for the other volunteers and I making it feel like home, tho speaking mostly Spanish Milo and I where able to communicate via google translate 🤙🏼

I absolutely loved my time in the shelter! Milo and Sonia and everyone involved were amazing! I got to witness the most amazing turtle experiences and met lots of other young travellers like myself. The camp is super rural which is so good to disconnect and reset. Before coming I'd recommend on definitely learning some Spanish as I would have loved to be able to communicate more with everyone! 10/10 experience and for my first Worldpackers trip it honestly could not have went better!

My experience on the shelter was amazing, memorable, and educational!! Thank you, Milo and Sonia, for a fun and wonderful time. However, there are a few things I wish I knew before this experience. The area is very rural. It is all dirt roads, and there are no stores within walking distance. I wish I had stocked up on more bug spray before getting there. Also, there is a lot of free time, so bring books or activities that don't require the internet. The volunteering tasks are in the morning before 10am and/or late at night. I would love to visit again in the future! Everyone was lovely!

Milo and Islas Demás is a wonderful first experience to World Packers! Milo is kind, respectful, informative, and patient. His family are kind, generous, and wonderful cooks. Accommodations are comfortable. There is a lot of chill, relax time so be prepared with lots of books, reflection, or be prepped for day trips during the afternoons off. The work is not hard but rewarding. I used more Spanish than I thought I would need to but it was great practice and so lovely to meet other travelers and see local life. You'll enjoy it!

Volunteering at the sea turtle sanctuary was a beautiful and meaningful experience. Milo and his family are truly wonderful – warm, welcoming, and full of heart. Milo is a kind and caring person who deeply loves the turtles and works hard to protect them while spreading awareness and knowledge. The sanctuary is right on the beach, surrounded by nature – perfect if you're looking to unwind far from the crowds. The food is delicious and homemade, and the whole atmosphere feels like home. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!

I loved staying at Islas the shelter, I experienced a lot of things that otherwise I would have never gotten the opportunity to see. Milo and his family are a great host and he showed me everything that he learned over the years and also what the other volunteers build and created. We got to free the baby turtles for them to get as safely as possible to the sea and begin theirs life there. I loved the night walks on the beautiful beach and the atv rides to look for turtles. I thank you for such a welcoming and warming experience.

This was the most wonderful experience of my life. Milo and his family are amazing people who truly deserve the whole world - their warmth, presence and energy is contagious and Milo is so passionate about his work. The work here is very minimal, with lots of free time to go to the nearest town or swim in the beach. Advice for future travellers - don't bring anything more than bathing suits and shorts and maybe one nice outfit: you don't need anything else :) Bring lots of mosquito repellent and come in with an open mind and positive attitude. Milo will change your life.

This was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. Milo and Sonia were so welcoming and very knowledgeable. It was great to practice my Spanish daily. The work was very light with lots of free time to explore the beautiful area and relax, read, eat coconuts right from the tree, and make friends with the other volunteers. Releasing the turtles into the ocean was a deeply moving and once in a lifetime experience.
