I had the pleasure of volunteering at the hostel in the hostel Bay and it was a truly memorable experience. The atmosphere is laid-back and full of positive energy, which made the volunteering enjoyable, whether it was bonding and connecting with the guest, posting on social media or just helping out when the staff needed some extra hands. Thanks to Belinda and the whole staff for welcoming me so nicely. I can recommend to go to the hostel bay as a volunteer or a guest! :)

Coffeeshack is a great place to be and it was my absolute pleasure to have the privilege to volunteer there! Coffeeshack was a total surprise for me, because I didn't know what to expect but I was happily surprised. The owners and staff are kind, inclusive and overall wonderful people. The work is simple and you get to meet a lot of new people, both locals and other travelers. As a solo female traveler I also felt extremely safe! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and hope I can inspire many more people along my way to visit this amazing place!

Beautiful experience in the hostel/bay!! I met numerous locals and international travelers. This setting has definitely helped me relax and calm down in life, just to appreciate mother nature. My original assignment was tour guide, but my position was changed to social media (which I was fine with) the task is really simple and self-explanatory!! The meals were all great, and I would absolutely urge anyone who wants an off grid village vibe to come down to the hostel. I also went surfing for the first time and the teacher is amazing !! highly recommend to catch some waves

This experience was a total surprise for me. the hostel is an amazing place to volunteer at. The staff is super friendly almost like a second family, the work I had to do was super chill and you get all the free time you need to do all the activities they propose. I will definitely come back in the future.

The hostel are truly a hidden gem! I am so thankful that it was my first world-packer experience. I have created memories for life, and I have no doubt I'll be back in the future. The camp just gets it right with the super affordable surf lessons, food, community outreach, and beautiful surroundings. As a volunteer, my only recommendation would be to make it clear what is included in the volunteer perks when you arrive. I was given a free evening meal and accommodation; the rest is paid at full price, including breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks.
