I loved this experience so much that I might even come back🙈 The people are amazing (Mariana was super helpful and a perfect host) and the instructors became friends as well. The shed in Malveira is not perfect, but if you're into nature and socializing this is for you! I was doing the social media and it was amazing, I would totally recommend 3>

I stayed here for three weeks, helping out with their social media, and honestly had such a great time! The team is incredibly friendly and made me feel at home right away. I got to join surf lessons and we also went biking and hiking in the beautiful surrounding nature. It's a bit outside the city, but that's part of its charm – peaceful, green, and close to the beach. The hostel itself is super cozy, with a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to settle in. I left with good memories and new friends. Will definitely come back!

My time at MobyDick flew by. Because I liked it so much, I stayed a little longer. Pedro and everyone else made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I was often able to attend surf lessons and the working hours were really relaxed and flexible. As I missed the hustle and bustle of the high season sometimes, I initiated a few community dinners, which was fun. Pedro did everything to make me feel comfortable. Thank you very much! I would love to come back!

The nature is amazing for hiking and it was fun to Surf and meet new people. I enjoyed the ocean and Surf lessons. However the Room for the Volunteers needs to be renovated as it was very Humid and the bathroom ( which is Only separated by a curtain) was disgusting. The work load was okay and the Tasks easy, but the working Hours are sometimes more than agreed when there are group dinners. There were some misunderstandings with the host and I didn't feel very comfortable and respected, but I am shure that you can have a Great time at the Lodge especially in Summer.

My experience at the guest house was beautiful because i met so many people and i learned how to surf! Mariana and Pedro are lovely and kind and Mariana is very available to accommodate the volunteers' requests. The most beautiful thing is the nature around the lodge and all the beaches! At the same time i think that the accommodation is not so fair, especially the bathroom in our room definitely needs updating. The work is easy but should be more communication and organization. I still have wonderful memories about this experience and im grateful for all the people that i met, até já! 🥰

The surf lessons&surf teachers are great. I enjoyed my days with my colleagues & shared many laughs.In the beginning I felt like I clicked really good with the hosts so I was disappointed on how my stay ended. First week was so fun. I was there for the position content creator but ended up working way more shifts breakfast,checkin ,cleaning) than agreed. I communicated that but nothing changed. 4 days before leaving the host sent me a message about everything I did ”wrong” and asked me to leave last minute,never had a conversation with me about any of it before. I did'nt feel respected:(

Mariana is a sweet host, and I had a good time during my 1,5 weeks volunteering. There are lots of day-trips to do around the hostel. Luckily I also knew some people in Lisbon, so I was able to go out and socialize there. Mariana warned me about it beforehand, but in December the hostel in Malveira did not have any guests interested in surfing (only 1 surf-lesson during my stay, I did not try taking the surfboard in public transport by myself). The volunteer room should also be renovated! I am sure that volunteering at the guest house in the summer is a completely different, more fun experience.

I had such an incredible time at Mobydick! Mariana and Pedro were super kind and welcoming hosts and I met so many great people while I was there!! After a while it really started to feel like home. The work was completely doable and fair. The whole atmosphere of it was very chill and relaxed and there was a lot of time to go to beautiful beaches and enjoy the natural park right next door, as well as explore some of the cities around. And I really enjoyed all the surf classes I could join, always had so much fun! All in all amazing experience, will miss the place and the people a lot!!

I'm really grateful for the chance to volunteer there. I was only supposed to stay for two weeks, but I ended up staying the whole month. Everybody was so kind and welcoming. Thank you Pedro for being such a cool host and person!! When I was there, it was already a bit off-season, so it was calmer and with all the long-term guests, I felt more like at home than in the hostel. The work was very chill and I had a lot of time to relax and just enjoy the good life. Thank you sooo much!! Obrigada
