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!!

Andrea and Diego are amazing people who do such important work. They make you feel at home, care for you whilst you're there and get you participating in things that's so amazing to witness. It's a magical place and the work done there is just so incredibly amazing. Andrea is really knowledgeable about sea turtles and watching her work is so admirable. An amazing place and deserves all the support to flourish!

This was one of my top experiences. Diego and Andrea were amazing, making us feel welcomed, and we had every opportunity to learn about the sea turtles and their environments. We also had the opportunity to work with the community hands-on, teaching them about plants, meeting other locals, and having dinner with them. This trip had intense activities, which I absolutely loved, but if you are looking for a party in a hostel type of situation, this is not the experience for you. This experience is intentional, culturally immersive, and life-changing.

This experience truly changed me and pushed me to participate in an entirely new community and culture. Andrea and Diego were fantastic teachers, and even when there were language barriers, we were all able to communicate with each other so well. We worked so hard and had so much laughter in between which was really special. The meals were incredible, our nighttime hike was inspiring, and working with children 3 separate times was so meaningful. the reserve space itself is so beautiful, and it was so nice to be there right after the deck was built. So much peace, so much joy!

AMAZING! If you're thinking of doing this experience, don't hesitate! This project is really special -- the hosts, Andrea & Diego, are fantastic, extremely knowledgable, and very good at sharing their immense knowledge. This project also genuinely impacts its community -- you'll have hands-on experience with sea turtle & rainforest the reserve, community education, and agro-forestry efforts. It's also very immersive in the local community, which I never would have been able to explore without this experience. I'll be back for sure!

I felt very welcomed by Diego, Andrea, and everyone else working at the reserve. Even though we were only there for a week, our schedule was very full and we got to do more than I thought was possible. Seeing the animals was my favorite part: I saw so many birds, kinkajous, bugs, and baby turtles. I can tell that both Diego and Andrea are extremely knowledgeable and care about what they are doing. Both are clearly important in their community as well. I already miss them both.
