This experience was great. Deshaun, Akka and the boys felt like family by the end of the 10 days. The work is tiring, but gets easier the more you do it. You're really living in nature so prepare for all sorts of things! Definitelythe reserve once inthe reserve lifetime opportunity to learn about real impact, this project is special.

I realy loved the project, you will meet the best people, do something for the Environment and get the greatest Food in the world from Acca. heads up: bring Long sleeves and pants for the work and be prepared for a Long Bus Drive to the project. If you're Lucky Jay can pick you up. He has a lot of Knowledge to Share. As it comes to him i sadly Need to say there can be some Moments were you could feel uncomftable as a Girl. When i was there he crossed boundries of other Volunteers. That is Not a reason to Not Support the project, just wanted to Inform. I wish Future people a lot of fun.

We’re thrilled you enjoyed the forest, food, and company, sounds like paradise UNTIL your detour from forest to fiction. Irony of “boundaries crossed” is cleaning blood & wound in the leg of a girl with "FULL CONSENT" who had a serious fall later said it was inappropriate us to clean. For readers: We’re respectful, just genuinely friendly. Most of our volunteers, by a large margin, have been girls with wonderful experiences. So, bring long sleeves for the work & a short filter for the drama :)

Volunteering at the rainforest restoration project was an eye-opening and meaningful experience. I gained a much deeper understanding of the importance of the rainforest and the impact human activity has on these vital ecosystems. The work was manageable with fair hours, and it felt great to contribute to such an important cause. The team on site were some of the kindest people I've ever met—truly a reflection of Sri Lankan hospitality and warmth. The only downside was that the bathroom facilities could use some updating, but overall, it was a rewarding and memorable experience.

This place has changed me in ways I don't fully understand. Fully immersed in nature I felt what true peace really is. On arrival it was a bit confusing to get to, but once I met Jay, Deshan, Akka and the volunteers I felt welcomed and at home. The work was tiring at first, mostly as I am not used to the heat, but after a day or so you acclimatise and the feeling of making a difference even for a short period is unmatched. Thank you Jay for your kindness I look forward to returning for longer to support this project further.

Volunteering here was an amazing experience. It's a unique opportunity to take care of the environment while also reconnecting with yourself. The activities were meaningful and focused on sustainability, giving real purpose to every day. Jay and Deshan shared so much knowledge about the local culture, and through Acca's delicious food, we got to experience the heart of the community. It was a perfect mix of environmental action, cultural discovery, and personal growth. I'll definitely be back — and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make a positive impact.

I spent over a week with Rainforest Protectors in Sri Lanka and loved the experience. Work was 3–4 hrs/day—mostly weeding and digging—just as described. Accommodation is basic but peaceful, with a mud house and daily rice & curry from Akka. Shout-out to dishan and metma too. No WiFi, but great vibes, nature, and people. Jay is super friendly and knowledgeable. Met amazing volunteers from Germany and Italy, shout-out to Silas, Calvin, Anna and Edo. Days off were spent exploring rivers and waterfalls. I learned a lot about local ecology and loved the slow pace. Highly recommend!

I was staying in the rainforest protection camp for 10 days. You can really connect with nature. The work in the site is very rewarding and time flies by. The food is amazing cooked by lovely Acca. You can also meet a lot of different travellers from all around the world.

This experience was a huge pleasure for us. We feel like we have found a little family far from home with Jay, Methma and the other volunteers. It was a real and profound exploration of the ecosystems, wildlife and culture of Sri Lanka. They always tried to help and teach us, putting their heart in everything they do. We are forever grateful for this experience and we hope to return in a couple years to see how the forest and project has grown!
