The guest house 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 the guest house for the experience,was lovely!

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.

I had such an amazing time here. The work is easy and fun and the community of people at the guest house are so special.A few things worth mentioning to other volunteers, I would only recommend if you are social and easy going, down to go with the flow as organization is not always great. You are living in a house with a lot of other people so it can be messy and a little chaotic, so be willing to be considerate of cleaning and sharing a space with others. You can walk / bike to grocery store but everything else may require a longer bike ride or ordering a Uber/ bolt to get to surrounding areas

I have had the best month of my life here, I cannot put into words how much this experience has meant to me, everything was perfect from start to finish and I can't recommend this enough to anyone, I have made friends for life here thanks to you guys! Mauro and the team are excellent and super friendly and helpful around the clock to ensure I had the best time, it felt like a family and I will definitely be back, no place has touched me more than this due to the welcoming atmosphere and how caring everyone is, I really felt valued and I have left a big part of me in Galé! Thank you! Obrigada!

I had a wonderful time at the guest house. The people were so friendly, supportive and welcoming. The work itself was enjoyable and not difficult, which made the experience both meaningful and fun. The only thing to keep in mind is that the accommodation wasn't very well-maintained. With many people living together, things could get a little messy. If you're okay with that, it's definitely manageable. Overall I had a fantastic experience and would recommend it to anyone.
