This was such a special place and experience. I was only supposed to stay a week but I ended up staying two and I wish I could have stayed longer. I immediately felt so at home. It is a remote camp, and you should expect pretty basic amenities/being surrounded by nature. I learned so much during my time here and the work felt rewarding(even though I did not see a turtle due to weather). I even got to travel to other parts of Costa Rica with fellow volunteers. Thank you Robbie, Daniel and Ara and all my volunteer friends!! I loved this and I highly recommend. Message me with questions!!

I LOVED volunteering here. Know that the turtles don't arrive on our schedule, so if you're at the beginning of the season you might not see them. Despite not seeing the turtles (my main reason for coming) I am pleasantly surprised to report I had a really wonderful & gorgeous time anyway. Being at the camp, you are so connected to nature and soon fall into a rhythm with it. Working with your body for something important really helped change my mental state from the stress and anxiety I normally have at home. Be ready for lots of rice and beans and downtime. Be open and you will enjoy this.

Although I was there during the off season and did not get to work with turtles, I still had a great time! Thank you to Luis, Ara, and Daniel :)

Tortugas de the shelter is such a peaceful & beautiful place. At camp there's around one activity a day, plus cleaning activities (done everyday). It's also secluded so it's almost impossible to explore anything but the tiny town, jungle, wildlife & beach going along the shelter. I would definitely recommend doing research on turtle's & their hatching cycles before applying & staying around 2-4 weeks depending on the month. Making friends is essential to an amazing stay & getting to know people is so easy because of how kind everyone is! Private transports available but no set/organized yoga classes.

I want to stress that the staff was wonderful and welcoming, especially Robbie, and really did their best to make everyone enjoy the stay. The talks, tours and workshops were great, however the experience was a little different than I expected. Since the camp's beach was destroyed by hurricane, no turtles nest there at the moment. This seemed to be common knowledge but was not communicated despite us asking about tasks beforehand. It felt like the focus is tourism over the cause itself, as it is promoted to big travel groups and influencers. I didn't feel like I made a difference being there.

This trip was good overall. I think having the group of volunteers and girls with me was what made this experience truly wonderful. When arriving it wasn't what we had expected, but Robbie the onsite host was super great in making sure that our needs were met and that he could make the experience better. I was thankful for the opportunity, although there were no turtles, the other opportunities and experiences were once in a lifetime.

I had a great time here through epic trips, there was a lot of miscommunication about what the trip was and what we were doing compared to the other volunteers but had a great time still. It was also very difficult to get to and from

The experience was not what I expected. The beach nearby is eroded and devastated by weather, meaning that turtles can't nest in the area. It was well known for a while yet it wasn't communicated upfront even though we asked about the exact tasks multiple times. There was no work with turtles, our meaningful contribution was very limited. The campsite was basic, the food was simple and lacked nutrients often leaving us hungry. The local staff are lovely though, their passion about nature really shines through! They tried to make everyone's stay enjoyable and we learned a lot from Robbie.

I had an amazing time meeting people that I will cherish for the rest of my life. The project itself was not what I was expecting, but we made the best out of it.

Be prepared to camp, you will make the most of it and have fun but it is in the middle of the jungle.
