Tortugas de Isla Damas
Discover this beautifull and non turistic place.
Volunteers can enjoy quiet moments by themselves.
It's a good place to rest and take time for you.
During the season they are lot of turtle and you can be part of their protection.
See the baby turtle going in the sea is a unique moment.
Groups and families are welcome!
We are a small local family living in a non turistic place. It's very quiet and remote. The wellness of our volunteers is very important for us. We want to share our knowledge about sea turtles and our culture. We also want to let volunteers have quiet moments for them. In respect with the place and project rules, freedom and well-being is a priority for us.

About the experience in: Quepos, Costa Rica
Ireland
I absolutely loved my time in Isla Damas! 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!

About the experience in: Quepos, Costa Rica
United States
This was truly an unforgettable experience. I met amazing new people including the friendly hosts Milo and Emma. They were very good with communication and taught us a lot about marine life, conservation efforts, and the importance of protecting the sea turtles. The food and home were amazing! I loved everything from the beach, visiting the town, and the people.
This experience exceeded my expectations for my first volunteer trip.

About the experience in: Quepos, Costa Rica
United States
Francisco(Milo) was an amazing host. Super informative with the property and the volunteer work With a mix of volunteering and a peaceful vacation, it was such an amazing experience. The food was amazing. I do wish the cooking class was more intensive and an actually cooked dish. Emma and Courtney did amazing coordinating everything making sure everyone got what they needed. There were a couple itinerary hiccups but those were handled quickly and with grace.

I had the absolute best time during my volunteer experience—everything was so thoughtfully organized and well-prepared from start to finish. The food was incredible every single day, and Emma and Milo created such a welcoming and inspiring environment. I truly couldn’t recommend this experience more to anyone looking to connect, contribute, and enjoy something meaningful. It exceeded every expectation.

About the experience in: Quepos, Costa Rica
United States
I had fun but many things you want to know before going that were not as advertised
One dirty shared bathroom, very unsanitary
No accommodations (hand towels, rags)
No cooking class, you watch the owner silently make it then eat it together
No functioning swimming pool
We did nothing with turtles, the eggs don't hatch for 40 days so we didn't see them
Walked for hours on night patrol and did not see a turtle or nest
Mostly free time, you have to pay to go anywhere, you can't walk
Meals are small buy snacks
You sleep with bugs
Overall it's not as advertised
Decent experience
