I had a very love-hate relationship with my experience here. It can be very hard for introverts or people that value time to themselves. If you go into it thinking of it as a pimped-out-camping experience, you will get along just fine. It is BUGGY, the accommodation is VERY basic, there's no hot water, and you probably won't ever feel clean while there. the surf camp is, however, REALLY good at what it's supposed to be good for which is making friends from all over the world to travel onwards with and providing a great experience for first-time travelers. Please reach out to me with any questions!

Es una experiencia bastante enriquecedora, ya que a diferencia de otros voluntariados, puedes conocer a personas de todo el mundo, te da más posibilidades de socializar, hacer actividades y conocer. Las tareas que te hacen realizar son bastante cortas, te da muchisimo tiempo para poder conocer. Es super flexible te dejan irte por unos días si es que quieres conocer otros lugares de the surf camp. Lo único que al ir a este lugar no tendrás muchos momentos para poder estar solo y tienes que estar familiarizado con la vida de camping, los vichos y el agua fría.

Alright so for the most part i loved dream sea! It is a great place it is just much more expensive then i expected and the beds you get are not so great i was lucky i had an okay bed but it's far from everyone. The thing i didn't really like is that volunteers are a source of revenue for them and more often then not their is not enough food for a second plate so for someone like me who eats a lot it's very annoying and to always have to ask to make more food is very tiring. For the working part it's great you don't have that many hours and you can switch job every Monday! I recommend!

The surf camp was a fun time! I met lots of cool people from all over the world and got better at surfing. The jobs are very easy and get reassigned every week. The living conditions aren't great, but there's always so much going on that you don't spend much time in the dorms.

The place and accommodations were not what I expected but I think It's a great place to meet people and make friends, the food is good and the jobs are fair and you have a lot of free time to enjoy the surf camp. Don't bring a big suitcase cause your probably gonna make friends and travel with them after so choose a backpack. It's a really sociable place but if your not that sociable is good to try to be more. What I most enjoyed was the friends that I made in the time i was there :))

In my experience, the surf camp was not accurately represented on Worldpackers. The reality of the poor living situations (outdoor dorms or rooms with bugs, animals, no fan) and amenities (3 outdoor showers & toilets for 70+ volunteers) are never discussed in these reviews or shown in photos. The accommodations are not worth an additional fee, and they over charge volunteers for every single activity. Many volunteers AND guests were leaving early. If you have zero expectations for working, do not care about your living situation, & only care about the social aspect, this is the place for you.

There were pros and a ton of cons to this trip for me! The job was fantastic and I had so much fun working the socials in collaboration with Micheal. Unfortunately Micheal is not onsite and the other permanent staff was not as welcoming. I saw the actual owner making young women uncomfortable by coming on to them. Tamarindo is nicknamed Tamagringo by the locals. It's touristy and the prices match that, everything is extremely expensive. You even pay outrageous prices to rent boards, lessons and excursions from the camp. So come prepared to spend a lot of money spend most time with tourists.

In the beginning I was a little bit overwhelmed because of the amount of people at the camp (and the City Tamarindo which is quite expensive) But within a few days I met a lot of amazing people and made great great friendships! So give yourself a few days to really settle in. Camp was great as was the food we got and the management of volunteering was very nice + funny:) I had a fun time with a lot of things to see and experience

I think that unless you are an extreme extrovert which most people were, you won't enjoy it as much. I feel like it forces you to be and extrovert not in the best way and it's super draining. The tasks were great, I enjoyed them and they weren't hard. The food was great, the cook is amazing. There is a nice pool to refresh and ping pong to keep you busy. It is quite far from the city, but if you are a nature lover you would love it. Overall depends on the type of person you are that will determine if you will enjoy your time at the surf camp.

The surf camp is the perfect place if you are into chilling all day, surfing, meeting new people and partying :) the work is really easy, you do only one hour a day ! But if you want to learn something or discover the surrounding or do something meaningful, the surf camp is definitely not the place :)
