Program Details
Come vibe with us in paradise! 🐆 Our Volunteer Program offers an unforgettable experience in a laid-back, social backpacker hostel right by the beach.
You'll help out with a little bit of everything—welcoming travelers, organizing fun activities, keeping the place looking fresh, and just making sure the good times keep rolling. You won’t be staying at the hostel itself; instead, you'll have a bed in a shared AC dorm at our staff quarters—a super homely little house just a short walk away. It’s cozy, peaceful, and comes with two ridiculously lovable dogs that’ll probably steal your heart (and maybe your snacks 🐶).
If you're a friendly, open-minded person who loves community vibes and creating good memories, this is your kind of gig.
