I had a great experience working here. This is a guest house so from time to time things might change last minute and if you are flexible with David he will definitely be flexible for you! I would say if you are flexible and have good communication skills this would be a good fit for you. I made some really good memories here and the waves are the best. I will definitely be coming back!

It was a beautiful experience to volunteer in the surf camp. Shy (the chef) David and Cristina (the owners) are always kind to explain how to do things to ensure a smooth service. They really appreciate proactivity, and whenever they needed a schedule change (very rarely) they were super respectful and considerate when asking. I had plenty of time to go walking, swimming or just chilling playing music with the guests ( best memory I take 🧡). Since the place is remote all meals where covered, good quality food, I am soo gonna miss that. I will definitely come back. Obrigadissima!

I loved my experience at the surf camp Surfhouse - I enjoyed being in such a remote location and really being able to connect with nature and disconnect from electronic distractions. It is a very good place to reset your mind and body and the work is very fair, four hour shifts, with plenty of time to explore.

Had an amazing time in the surf camp, I didn't know what to expect before coming, but it was a very unique experience, a good reset, connecting with nature, good surfing and also met amazing locals and had a great time we the other volunteers. There is a lot to explore and the tasks are not very demanding. I definitely recommend it :)

I felt really welcomed. This place is so peaceful and adventurous at the same time. My shifts were for four hours six days a week. I helped in the kitchen and around the guesthouse. I had a great time with the other staff members. Be prepared that this area is pretty remote and there is no grocery store, they need to get all the stuff from town. All my stay I was always wondering how they got everything to this place as you can get here only by quad bike or your feet. I am glad I was there and that I have this experience.
