I had a great time volunteering here, it's a very beautiful remote place and you're surrounded by nature the whole time. Despite language barriers communication with the leaders is easy and there is a great community feel. the hours are short so you have the whole day to relax/practice/go on adventures with the other volunteers. The only thing I would say is that it is not cheap and they can be stingy when it comes to payment

We stayed at ACOTPRO for 3 weeks and we learned soooo much about turtles, the local life and so much more. It's a great place for volunteers who don't mind to go basic and leave your comfort zone. Also the people working there (Johnson, Theresa and Lili in particular) are so sweet and want to give you a comfortable and pleasant stay! 10/10 would do this again if we visit Costa Rica again!

Had a great experience with ACOTPRO! Lots of great people and animals around and the base is a beautiful space right by the ocean. You can tell that they are actively trying to improve the project as well and care for the turtles. It was really amazing to be able to see and learn about the turtles!

A great experience. Sometimes there's not much to do (especially in the rainy weather) but they're working to really change the place around too so I think it'll become even more educational if an experience. I loved everyone I met and the work we did felt impactful!

I had an amazing time ! The tasks are really diverse from cleaning beaches to improving the facilities, you are also involved with the turtles by collecting eggs, releasing babies, doing patrols and more. The facilities are simple as presented in the description, it was actually really nice to live offgrid 100 meters away from the private beach ! The food provided is also super nice, I would totally recommend this experience. Just FYI, the fees are higher than announced on Worldpackers and you should check the turtle seasons to decide when is the best Time to be a part of this project !

It was my first experience with Worldpacker and I loved this project! You live in the heart of nature and less than 500 meters from a beach, Johnson and the other people managing the camp are adorable and flexible, there were also many other volunteers so the social experience was very appreciable! There are not really any negative poins strictly speaking. However, I would have liked to have had more work directly related to turtles. In addition, the project is quite expensive so you have to keep it in mind for your budget (boat to go to Drake Bay, taxi and project price)

ACOTPRO was my first volunteering experience and I totally loved it! It is rustic and you should not you don't have a lot of amenities but it is totally worth it. I learned a lot about turtles and had a experience with them each day. If you love nature and want to disconnect a little bit from the world this is the perfect place :) totally recommended

ACOTPRO was my first volunteering position and I really enjoyed my time there. We released baby turtles almost on a daily base, which was an unforgettable experience. Johnson, who organizes everything is super nice and very welcoming as are all the others who are involved in the project. I don't really speak any spanish but still managed to communicate and have fun with them. The amount of work was not too much and one of the best things was definitely to meet all the other volunteers but also the secluded location and the basically private beach right in front of the camp.
