The Experience

As the spring knocks on our doors, a lot of construction and preparation for season prevents us work on our yards and small gardens. We would love it if we would get a person that comes and helps us with it. No matter the level of language skills, just a friendly person that is willing to assist us make our yards look better and alive in the summer. Also we do some renovations on our properties and preparing them for the summer.

I really enjoyed my time here! The hosts and the rest of the team were all very friendly and welcoming. The work is 4-5 hours in the morning starting at 9am. It is very easy and can vary which was nice. The lunches were always amazing. The town is very small but it does still get busy in the summer and they have events on. With only 1 day off per week it doesn't give you much time to explore other places, so if staying in a small town and mostly just going to the beach in your free time is what you're looking for then this is perfect.

I had a lovely time collaborating at the hostel, everyone from the family and staff was welcoming and friendly from day one, It was wondertul the opportunity to get along with the other volunteers there and explore the small town and areas nearby, plus the work was easy and most of the days we finished one hour earlier. Definitely recommend if having a few days to chill in a small town is your vibe.

I loved my time volunteering in Pakoštane! The staff were so friendly and supportive. They work with lots of volunteer so they understood my needs and I felt comfortable asking for help if I needed it. Since it was off season, the work was pretty easy and never went past the agreed 5 hours. A delicious lunch was provided everyday. My accomodation was clean and comfortable. The town itself is quite small. Very safe but not much to do. The beaches are beautiful, though and it's easy to take a bus to a nearby town. I would highly recommend this to any volunteer!

This experience was seriously 5/5 All of the staff are very welcoming and accommodating and if you'd like to try other tasks as well just ask! We did cooking, cleaning, gardening, and some sign creations and had an insanely good time doing it. The nature is gorgeous and it's a quaint town to be in. The accommodation is a basic bed and living room area for the travelers but they have an awesome net bedding outside on the roof that I hung out on a lot. Highly recommend

Great! This was my first Worldpackers and everything went great, starting from when I got accepted. We started talking right away and I received all the support I needed to reach the city. The living conditions are basic, great for community building and covering our needs. The tasks I got were diverse, as we agreed from the beginning, a bit of cooking and housekeeping, with great support from everyone working there. They were extremely kind and understandable, you'll get to meet a whole international community there, so open to talk about their culture and get to know yours. Thank you all!!!
