Dita's place is wonderful. Even though I came in off season it was a nice place to relax, meet the locals and eat delicious local food made by Melinda. Make sure you go there in the shelter season, that would've made the workexperience a lot better😅

Two sea turtle egg incubation boxes have been replaced. It has been incredibly helpful. He is young, very energetic, and always makes time to run for exercise around the beach and the hills here. Thank you, Johannes. 🌿🐢

I had a great time at Serang beach! A week was the perfect length for me. I stayed in a room at Dita's house (there is also a guesthouse a short walk away). Dita and Melinda are great cooks and everyone is really kind :) We even made batik one day which was awesome! It was very peaceful and calm; there's some hiking nearby and a river to swim in, though you can't swim at the beach because of the strong waves. The work was very relaxed, to the point that I felt more like a homestay guest than a volunteer, but i also visited in the off season for the shelter hatching so it may be different May-Sep.

Besides enjoying the sunset 🌅, she also helped arrange plants in the mangrove area 🌱. She is a kind person and always shares her smile 😊 with the local community.

Our experience at the shelter was really great. Even if we could not see any turtles (we can't control nature), we were happy to contribute, help and learn about them. The three members of the team are incredible and really kind, the food is amazing and the work really easy. Our stay was really relaxing, peaceful and close to the nature. We loved it and recommend it without any hesitation.

Although she seems gentle, she showed strong energy 💪 while leveling the sand in the conservation area 🐢. All activities were carried out very well, especially collecting the plastic waste scattered everywhere ♻️🌿

I absolutely loved my stay at the shelter. From the beginning, Dita was so welcoming and eager to share her culture with us. Everyday we were able to make an array of teas or coffee, and we had such amazing Indonesian food cooked by Melinda! I was lucky to experience 5 the shelter releases during my 2 week stay - and every time was better than the previous. Knowing that I was making a difference not only to the ocean's marine life, but also to the environment of Serang Beach through planting mangroves, was an experience I'll truly treasure forever. Thank you, it was the absolute best!

Kath is a very disciplined and dedicated volunteer. She's a true morning person, always ready to start the day early with full energy. From Monday to Friday, she consistently followed all scheduled activities at the turtle conservation center with great commitment and punctuality. Her responsible attitude made a positive impact on the team and the program. Thanks a lot Kati 🐢🌊✨❤
