The work was fufilling and a fair exchange, the living accommodations were incredibly clean and comfortable, and Sid and the other staff were warm and welcoming.

Volunteering at the surf the surf the surf camp was a truly lovely experience. The hostel and surf school is run by a team of warm, open-minded individuals, and I felt instantly welcome. Sid is an excellent manager: he lays out clear instructions and makes sure that the work feels light, collaborative, and straightforward. As volunteers, we had plenty of free time to surf, explore the town, and form beautiful friendships! I would recommend this experience in a heartbeat, and hope to be back soon!

I loved my time here & would highly recommend it to anyone! The work is straightforward, well organised and clearly communicated. Sid has created a welcoming, collaborative, family vibe amongst the volunteers and it's been lovely getting to know so many great people from around the world. I've had plenty of time to explore Sagres, which despite being small has a whole range of activities and events happening throughout the week and a lovely community to get to know. I've also appreciated being able to join the surf lessons when possible. I can't speak highly enough of this experience!!

I had an amazing experience at the the surf the surf the surf camp! Led by Sidzinho, the team is always welcoming and full of good vibes. I spent seven wonderful months helping with the repair and renovation of the place, and Sidzinho was always attentive to both the staff and the guests. The work schedule is fair, which allows plenty of time to enjoy everything Sagres has to offer. I totally recommend this experience! Ps: obrigado sidzin pelo pesto rojo e por todo o queijo hahaha sid é o melhor manager

I had the most incredible time at the the surf the surf the surf camp & Hostel. Sid was a great manager who made sure that he did everything he could to support us as workers and to ensure that we were having fun and not being overworked. Sid made sure that we were comfortable approaching him about any situation & he created a safe working environment. I met an amazing group of people and have left with lifelong friends. The staff accomodation was great, I loved to be able to draw my black out curtains and switch off when I needed to. The food was incredible at the hostel. Best volunteer experience ever.
