Mauro is nice & pro. Felt welcomed & respected by him + few people. Thanks for welcoming me in such a short time. Works and hours are respected.

Low season so, I wasn't able to join surfclass after work. No transport so you have to walk approx 30min from the house + take taxi to visit other places. The property is beautiful. But it could be quiet hard to live with that many ppl in the bedroom/house.

Algarve is stunning. I am glad that I've been able to discover how the company works in different areas. Loved working in the surfschool. Loved taking surf photos, I've found a new passion!

Zimzala surf and sup is a perfect place to be.I really loved my stay in there and I believe is one of or the best experience I had through worldpackers so far.The job is relaxed and the working hours are clearly communicated.The people from either surf school,the cafe or volunteers are very nice.You can in addition,to learn or try to learn the water sports they provide if it’s fitting your program and it’s a availability for both sides.The facilities are very good and the house provided.Its a place really worth visiting.Thank you Zimzala for the experience,was lovely!

Voluntariar no Zimzala foi uma experiência maravilhosa! Passei dias incríveis e conheci ótimas pessoas. As tarefas são muito tranquilas e você pode participar dos tours e aulas oferecidos por eles durante seu tempo off. A região de Albufeira é maravilhosa, com muitas praias e paisagens lindas para aproveitar enquanto estiver por la! Recomendo e sou muito grata pelos dias que passei la! 🌞

Mi experiencia en Zimzala ha sido increíble! Todo el equipo es super amable y te hacen sentir como en casa desde el primer día.🙌

Recomiendo este voluntariado a cualquiera que busque conocer y conectar con personas de todo el mundo, sumergirse en la cultura local además de estar rodeado de naturaleza y el mar🏄‍♂️🌊.

Las horas de trabajo se respetan y el trabajo es muy dinámico y divertido. Y por si fuera poco también tendréis tiempo para descubrir la preciosa zona del Algarve. Los aventureros no os cansaréis🤠

Muy agradecido, Zimzala es una familia!🫶 Obrigado, un abrazo para todos🫂🇵🇹

This was indeed a great experience. The place is surrounded by nature and you cannot miss a sunset on the beach. At my time the weather was not good, almost all the days were rainy and there were multiple storms but it was just a bad fortune. You can take surf lessons if they do not coincide with your duties and ofcourse ask Mauro to shift your duties accordingly (he is very accommodating). I met a lot of travelers and it was amazing how everyone had their different energy but same moto of living in the present. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sea , sunsets, laughs & hugs.
