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

Volunteering at the guest house was a much welcomed reset and an opportunity to try something new and different while making an impact and helping a small business. The hours, responsibilities, and tasks were within reason, and the people you meet are incredible! Pedro, Mariana, Caetano, and the surf instructors are super welcoming and helpful. I volunteered for three months, and they genuinely felt like a second family. Both locations have easy access to local sights, groceries, and restaurants. I can't recommend this experience enough!

I extended my stay for one more month with the guest house family. A true Portuguese family. I will definitely come back, either as a volunteer or just to share some mates with them.

I loved my time volunteering at MobyDick Lodge! The work hours were respected and the tasks were completely manageable, leaving you enough time to surf and explore the stunning surroundings. I worked at the Lodge in Colares, we had a general scheduling plus specific tasks given day by day when necessary but still, also plenty of flexibility on their side. I will always cherish the nice relaxed atmosphere and all the people I met during my stay, I would 101% recommend :)

If you are considering applying for a job through workdpackers, you should consider the guest house! Mariana and the rest of the team were very welcoming and I had so much fun working at this hostel. The tasks were easy and there were a lot of time to surf and do other activities! The place is quite remote so be prepared to travel by bus or car/uber to get to other places! But other than that is was amazing 💚 would love to go back one day!

Mariana, Caetano, Pedro and the whole surf team were super kind and welcoming. They share the Portuguese values and lifestyle, very chill even when issues arise (something I am taking into my personal life as well). The shifts were respected and the chores were excatly the ones described in the offer. I always had a place for joining the surf lessons (unless they took place during my shift, which is an unpredictable issue as they depend on the tides and sea conditions).
