The Experience
We need help supporting the local sea turtle conservation project by conducting night patrols and releasing baby turtles from the hatchery. We're looking for volunteers with lots of energy who are willing to work at night and during the rainy season. Volunteers stay in a purpose-built station, work for 5 hours per day and can use any of the facilities at the property.

My time at the eco village was honestly one of the best experiences ever. The hosts rob and Rebe were very welcoming. Everything about this Epic Trip felt so genuine and full of good vibes. The vegan food was amazing super fresh and made with so much love. I loved the coconut and soap workshops, the snorkeling tour, and the massage that left me feeling so relaxed. The turtle patrols were definitely my favorite part ,seeing the turtles and helping protect their eggs was just magical. This place has such a peaceful, healing energy. I left feeling so grounded, inspired, and grateful for it all.
