I had suuuuch a good time there! I relaxed, chilled, had a lot of me time in a paradise beach, it was amazing! The hosting family and the people working there were so nice and kind and welcoming! I am really going to miss them! The work is really easy and short, just swiping the beach in the morning. I just want to mention that the room they give you is extremely hot, even with the fan so i switched to an ac room and paid 15$. Thank you for everything and hope to see you again!!

My time in Nias was super fun and relaxing. We picked up garbage along the beach for about an hour or so in the morning and the rest of the day was free time. The family was very nice and welcoming, they also told us about their plans to expand their project in the coming year. It was more difficult to get there than expected, so we ended up flying into Gunungsitoli - additionally, it was more significantly more expensive than we were expecting to get from the airport (or the port) to the inn. But once you are there, the experience is great and you get to enjoy the island life.

We had a fantastic time staying at the inn. The family was very accommodating and nice to talk with. The tasks were very easy, mainly cleaning up the beach and the areas around the inn. It took less time than anticipated. They are working on expanding their volunteering program for the future. The discounted surf board rentals make it a great place to learn to surf, we definitely improved! Beware that getting to Nias and then to Lagundri Beach is a long process and comes at a cost. Make sure to do lots of research beforehand as the costs can quickly add up.

We had the most amazing time with Toris and his family. They were all so welcoming and made us feel at home. Toris and his nephew Matin taught us to surf, which was great! The food was also amazing, especially the banana pancakes. The work consisted of 30 minutes of sweeping, so we had the rest of the day to relax. Overall the place is just so magical, and we would have liked to stay longer. Be aware that it can be a little complicated and expensive to get to Nias, but once you are there it is all worth it❤️🏝️
