Andrea and Diego were super welcoming. I loved the location. I felt so immersed in nature and in the culture. I learned so much that I will forever be thankful for. I had an amazing group as well. I loved everything we did and the variety. Honestly it was such an incredibly fulfilling experience.

It was one of the most interesting volunteering opportunities I have had in my life. Andrea is a highly professional person, full of enthusiasm for marine biology and turtles. You can always tell when someone truly enjoys their work — and she is the brightest example of that. She shared so much information about turtles, their nesting, and many deep facts I would have never known otherwise. The way she found turtle nests was absolutely amazing as well. She is definitely a turtle mama — she really feels them. Diego was very knowledgeable about plants, and he was happy to tell us about planting

This trip was literally life changing. I learned more than I expected, beyond marine life and the reserve work. Andrea and Diego are such inspiring personalities who welcomed us from the beginning. They showed so much passion about their work and didn't hesitate to answer all of my questions patiently. I found a place I would always love to go back to and I can highly recommend it to everyone!!! The place I was allowed to stay for two weeks, was beautiful and clean and the food was always fresh and amazing. Thank you for the absolutely stunning experience and unforgettable memories!!
