Volunteer with Sea Turtles in a Beachfront Project – Costa Rica🐢

This was a 10/10 experience! The work is very simple to do, the food provided was always great! The experience of handling the turtles was truly amazing. You have plenty of time to relax, swim in the ocean, and head into town. I recommend that you or someone you go with knows Spanish. They were also very timely in responding. I would definitely go back in the future!

Nous ne sommes restés que 4 jours mais c'était une expérience géniale, Milo est adorable et a à cœur de nous transmettre ses connaissances, fait tout pour que nous nous sentions le mieux possible, nous traite comme une partie de sa famille, moments émouvants avec les bébés tortue, nous avons également vu crocodiles serpents et perroquets, ça restera à jamais dans mon cœur 💚

I couldn't recommend this experience more!! ❤️ Milo and Sonia are both very kind people. I stayed for 2 weeks and learned SO much about sea turtles making me love them even more. We had plenty of time to explore Quepos and the surrounding areas as well! I miss my time in the shelter already :))

I had an amazing time the shelter! Milo and Sonia are both very welcoming and passionate about their work with the sea turtles. One of the highlights was seeing the baby turtles head to the sea, and we even got to watch adult turtles laying eggs, which was incredible. The work and relaxation balance was just right and Sonia's delicious meals were a big bonus. A tip for future volunteers: knowing some basic Spanish is helpful for communication. All in all I highly recommend this experience and would love to come back some day!

Volunteering at the shelter was the best decision ive ever made!! It was genuinely the best 2 weeks of my life. Milo is the most humble, caring and generous man ever. He is always sharing his knowledge about turtles and his life on the island. I have found a great friend in him and i cant wait to go back. We had a lot of free time during the day so its perfect if you want to live in the present moment and enjoy the beach and wildlife. It's the perfect place to meet travellers from all over the world and build deep connections. The house is cozy and has everything you need. It was truly amazing.

100/10 experience. I stayed for 12 days, and each of them was perfect. Milo is a wonderful host. He was so caring to all volunteers, connecting through conversation, sharing knowledge, helping with transportation at any time, etc. Milo's work is fully non-prophet - he is a lifelong local with a heartfelt desire to protect endangered sea turtles. I learned so much through the daily turtle releases as Milo would share information with us and tourists. His family was kind and prepared amazing meals which accommodated my vegan diet. There is TONS of free time to relax and enjoy. I loved everything

Estoy tan agradecida con Milo y su familia por hacer de mi primer viaje y mi primer voluntariado sola una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida. El proyecto es simplemente maravilloso. La dedicación de todos al cuidado de estas hermosas criaturas es inspiradora. Además, Sonia preparó siempre una comida deliciosa, llena de sabor y amor, lo que hizo que cada comida fuera un momento especial. El lugar es hermoso, rodeado de naturaleza y tranquilidad, y toda la gente es increíblemente amable y linda, lo que me hizo sentir en casa desde el primer momento

I had fun but many things you want to know before going that were not as advertised One dirty shared bathroom, very unsanitary No accommodations (hand towels, rags) No cooking class, you watch the owner silently make it then eat it together No functioning swimming pool We did nothing with turtles, the eggs don't hatch for 40 days so we didn't see them Walked for hours on night patrol and did not see a turtle or nest Mostly free time, you have to pay to go anywhere, you can't walk Meals are small buy snacks You sleep with bugs Overall it's not as advertised Decent experience

I stayed for one week at the project. I was able to see the baby turtles hatch which was so cute! During the day, we as volunteers planned many different activities because the work is almost always in the evening or at night going on patrol, or the morning, when tourists come to see the baby turtles. I was also able to talk in spanish because Milo and his family do not talk that much english. The food was also great:)
