Tipsea Turtle Gili Air and Gili Trawangan, Lombok
We have 2 hostels - 1 on Gili Air and 1 on GIli Trawangan, in Lombok, Indonesia. We have a strong team and are looking for friendly, enthusiastic and social individuals to help us maintain our great atmosphere.
Volunteers will be treated like any other staff member. That means they'll be respected, have responsibilities and also autonomy. You'll be offered a dorm bed, breakfast every morning and the same specials on the bar as the other staff.

It's been a few days since I left Tipsea and I still cant stop thinking about it.I started as a mural painter then moved to the the afternoon social butterfly role which was pretty relaxed,you keep the common areas tidy,chat with guests,run a few activities,take photos and videos for content and sometimes help with errands.Its great if you enjoy being social, connecting with people and leading activities.Even when it wasnt my shift,I loved being in the hostel, joining activities and being with the guests.I had so much fun at Tipsea! Thank you Lexy, Bren, and the boys for making it home for me!

Yoga teaching at Tipsea turtle has been one of the best volunteer experiences ever! I found the perfect balance between party and rest. Claudia is amazing, there is very clear communication and expectations and then the rest is up to you! All the staff at the hostel are also so lovely and always bring great vibes. On top of all of that, the hostel is stunning (finishing off the new pool/bar/yoga shala now!) and the volunteer house is sweet!
You’ll fall in love with the island! Thank you Tipsea 🌟

I had the most magical two months volunteering at tipsea turtle, gili air and the hostel its self are breathtaking, vibes unmatched. I had so much fun on the evening social host role, allowing me to interact, look after and make unforgettable memories with all the guests. The local staff and other volunteers truly feel like family after work so close to them for nearly two months. A special mention to lexy, the manager who goes out of her to make sure all volunteers, staff and guests alike are all looked after. She makes the whole experience even more enjoyable, can’t wait to be back ❤️

I volunteered at Tipsea Turtle for 3 weeks doing the evening role. In this position I quickly became close friends with fellow volunteers, staff, and management. The role requires a fully charged social battery, so relaxing and resting throughout the day is important . The volunteer house is okay, sometimes the water and aircon malfunctioned, but quickly resolved by staff. It’s a very social hostel without the party, with activities every night. I highly recommend this opportunity if you’re not avoid of have a laugh and a few cocktails. Thankyou Claudia (the host) for having me I enjoyed it!

One of the best experiences! From the “work” to the hostel itself, the amazing staff, Lexy, and the other volunteers, it was all magical! I fell in love with the hostel, the island and the people!
Volunteers stay in a separate cabin from the guests, we got breakfast every morning and free family dinner 3 times a week (buffet of local food) and free drinks every day we worked.
I volunteered as the mural painter and Lexy guided and supported me every step of the way. She was so encouraging and truly made me feel appreciated and valued as an artist.
Terima kasih Lexy, Brenna, and all the boys!
