Help Sea Turtles in a Beachfront Project – Pacific Costa Rica🐢

United States

5

Emma and Milo make a great team! They cordinated with me to make sure I arrived safely and seamlessly every step of the way. They both were great about answering their phones which is super important. The food was pretty good and they don't shame you for asking for seconds either! The work is relatively laid back and quite easy really. Emma also helps organize little trips around Costa Rica if you want to see more of the land. Mostly I just spent my days being a beach bum and releasing turtles and the nights talking with the other volunteers and going on turtle patrol.

I know this sounds cheesy, but the entire week was like a movie from start to finish. Emma and Milo made us feel so welcome and loved. We were steps away from the ocean and I felt one with nature the entire week!

This project was the best thing I have ever done in my life. I love what they are doing here, I see that Milo the project leader put all his effort into conservation these species of sea turtles. He is kind hearted and he cares a lot about the volunteers to make sure we're safe. I'm grateful to have experienced this and being able to see two sea turtles, it was beautiful. I am also grateful to have met people from different countries and to be able to make new friendships. I highly recommend anyone try this project out!

This experience was transformative, thanks to Milo and his passionate talks about nature, the delicious meals carefully prepared by Sonia, Emma's kindness and help, and also the family we formed with all the volunteers. The place is paradise; you're just 20 meters from the beach to enjoy its wonderful light, the sunrise or sunset, swimming, releasing baby turtles, caring for eggs and hatchlings, and patrolling under the starry sun. Activities and excursions are also available with Emma's help. I highly recommend it; you'll cry when you leave!

The host and group on this trip was life changing! Everyone was so sweet and welcoming. We did things from helping Babby turtles to the sea, helping them nest eggs, cooking classes, surfing, and so much more. Everyone there was so helpful no matter what the need was, they helped you arrive and leave the project, took us in under their wing, taught us Spanish and how important their mission was. This was such an amazing experience and the people I met were strangers turned friends.

Our hosts were very wonderful people, and they made us feel very welcomed and appreciated. Their whole operation is very inspiring and beautiful to see. The property is pretty insane--directly on the beach on an intimate and thriving slice of perfect beach. Awesome opportunity to meet fellow travelers.

It was an unforgettable experience, the moment I arrived, Emma, Milo and his family did everything they could to make my stay as comfortable and meaningful as possible. You can really feel how much they care about the turtles, the project and the volunteers. The food was incredible, the beach and natural surroundings are absolutely beautiful and you have a lot of free time to enjoy them. There are also many opportunities to join different trips and activities. Overall it was very lovely and beautiful!

This trip was truly amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this trip but I'm so glad I got to experience every part of it. Milo and his team are truly passionate about what they are doing in this project and it makes you appreciate efforts like this one much more. There was quite a bit of free time as the other reviews suggest but it gives you a chance to explore other parts of the area and interact more with locals

My time spent at the shelter was better than anything I could've ever imagined. The host was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Emma made the experience seamless and even helped coordinate travel to and from the accommodations. Milo takes so much pride and passion in his work with the turtles and it is truly something special to see. I would recommend this experience to anyone seeking to make new friends, live on a beautiful island, and make a positive impact with one of the most beautiful creatures.
