What you need to know about Baja: Baja has its special culture due to its unique location - It doesn't have strong "local" culture and vibe as the rest of the Mexico. What they have is amazing and powerful nature and people from all over the Mexico and the world. The hostel. The best location, and we had the best team :) and the weirdest- cutest cat Nopal 🌵 Dominique is a professional and safety-cautious person. She made sure things get done, and everyone( including volunteers) is safe. I worked with 4-5 other volunteers and everyone brought really good kind vibes. I'll miss you all!

This was my first time volunteering and I'm so glad I was able to come here. Dominique is the most understanding and supportive person the work under. As soon as we communicated situations that were uncomfortable, she really supported us and made changes that ensures the safety of everyone including emotional safety. I will come back in the future and this is the most amazing place you can go to. If your hesitating a little bit, just do it. Love you 😍 and can't wait to come back!!

Martina volunteered with us for a bit over a month. She brought a positive energy to the place and was fun to have around. She was responsible with her tasks and reliable when it came to her shifts. Martina was a good addition to the team, and we appreciated her help. We'd recommend her to other hostels looking for a solid, friendly volunteer.

The hostel will always be a special place for me. I enjoyed every single day there and could not recommend it more. Miguel and Dominique are such rays of sunshine; they both care about the place, and you'll instantly feel like you belong. The job was not hard, and you'll always feel supported. It was really hard to say goodbye, and crazy enough, I hope I'll be back someday. ☀️ If you're still thinking about whether to apply, please do. You won't regret it!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay, as both my host and fellow volunteers were very nice to be around. The location is phenomenal, as was the food, weather, meeting locals and/or international travelers. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone, and I'm truly fortunate this was where I stayed for my first (and certainly not last) visit to Mexico. Del Cabo in particular is such a lovely town, that it made me sad to leave only after a couple weeks, but I'll remember this hostel for the future. Thank you for letting me volunteer, I had an unforgettable time.
