My volunteering experience was wonderful! The work and hours were fair, free days were easily accepted, and I could join the trips for free. Mauro ❤️❤️❤️ The host was always friendly, open, and ready to help with any questions. Thank you so much for this amazing time – it was truly lovely! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🌞🌞🌞

For me it was a great experience, especially because it was my first volunteer experience. The work was chill and i had a lot of time to explore Algarve. the only thing, if you don't have a car it's hard to explore other citys and the public transpoetion is really bad but you can use uber or you can go with other people also, if they have a car, but otherweise i really enjoyed my time here and the weather was so great in September you feel still summer.

Loved my stay! The work is fair and allows you to meet so many people and spend lots of time near and on the beach! The villa and the pool is a nice place to live, due to high season was very busy and full of lots of people but, for me, this was great as I loved making lots of new friends :) Sad to leave the algarve will miss the sunset and the gorgeous beaches!!!

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!

An amazing place and an amazing surf house filled with lots of beautiful people from all over the world! The location is perfect, you can bike or walk to work your shift and the hours and work is very very easy and chill. Just working at the surf hut or taking surf photos! The surf house is very messy but was never really there unless to sleep because there's so much to explore in the area and the weather in the Algarve is ALWAYS sunny and beautiful. Night life is great, get a discount on food at the cafe, and hours of work are very nice. You have a lot of free time! Free surf, & SUP & more!
