Spent four weeks volunteering at the camping — what a ride! Mornings by the sea, helping out at the surf school, and getting my hands dirty with camp life. Every day brought something new. If you're into nature, waves, and staying active, it's definitely worth it. Fay, the chief 🫡, always has everything under control and keeps the camp running smoothly with a warm, welcoming smile. Grateful for the time spent there :)

Absolutely recommend! I had such an amazing time at the camping. (In pre-season) the tasks are easy and you have lots of free time to explore the island and grab a board to surf if there are waves. The food is delicious, people are very chill and the island itself is peaceful. In high season it gets way more busy in terms of people, activities and tasks which was also very nice to be part of. They also try to organise activities for crew to bond and unwind together after a busy day. Many thanks!!

My 5-week stay at the camping was great. It was very easy to integrate into the team. The work is simple, and there's plenty of time to explore the island or surf. I'm very grateful to have learned so many new things and to have met interesting people.
