This experience was great to meet locals and other volunteers, and working with turtles was also amazing ! (learning about turtles, putting the eggs in the sand, doing visits, cleaning the tanks, seeing baby turtles…) The work is usually until from 9am to 1pm but the hours are flexible, and the afternoons as well as the weekends are free. The only downside is that when there was not many visitors, we just chatted and waited around, and I expected more organised work. I still loved the experience and would definitely do it again !

Great experience. Work was chill, you wake up early sometimes (6:30-7:30 am) to collect seaweed for the turtles, but otherwise you're there from 9 am - 1 pm. You clean tanks for the first ~30 minutes, and then you lead tours on a rotating basis - usually about 2 per day. Then, after 1 pm, you get the rest of the day to do whatever you want. They give you a free surf lesson and amazing accommodation, so it's a great time. Obviously, working with the turtles is the greatest thing ever, they're all super cute and you'll fall in love with them. Finally, all of the staff is friendly and wonderful.

A really cool experience with plenty of free time to still explore bali. i learned a lot and met great people, plus the driver Dody is a super nice guy! however it was disorganized with communication at times (for example, i was given the wrong phone number for the driver so airport pickup was quite hectic). also, if you are just looking to come to bali you can do so for MUCH cheaper than the weekly rate they charge. but if you are hoping to learn about turtles/ecotourism or just want to have something to do during the days then this is not a bad experience whatsoever. i enjoyed my time!

The things that are written are those that will actually be done, nothing more, nothing less. The best thing for me was meeting other people from other parts of the world, learning more about the local culture and obviously dealing with sea turtles, and helping in their the project.

Even though it's rainy season, you get to learn a lot about our friends in the ocean. It ranges from cleaning the tanks and touring people around, to sudden emergency rescues to save a the project. My favorite was collecting seaweed, cause you'll basically drive out with a boat and collect seaweed while snorkeling, which is super fun. There's nothing better than spending a day with turtles and talking with the staff. Although, next time I return, It'll be during june/july, so I can see all the hatchlings etc.😁

I loved this experience so much. There were lots of volunteers, not just with worldpackers, so it was so nice to meet people from all over the world. The workers in the Centre are all so kind. The accommodation was nice. Our driver, Dody, was an absolute gent! I learned so much about turtles and the project and it was all very interesting. I would definitely recommend this experience.

This opportunity was, hands down, one of the best experiences of my life... You will learn about turtles, you will make lifelong friendships, and you will not want to go home when it's over. If I could give future volunteers advice, it would be to not just make friends with the other volunteers but to make friends with the locals as well... To say that I am grateful to have had this experience is an understatement. This is not goodbye but see you later!
