The accommodations and food were truly awesome! We had a very nice restaurant, with lots of great lunch options, and wonderful home-cooked food every night for supper... It was real value for your money!

I absolutely loved the amazon shelter. I returned again a 2nd time. The highlight of my time... was the care of Ellie the Tapir... and one of the sloths. I assisted with many animal rescues and releases. The staff at the shelter are all friendly... Over the road there is a little bar with a lovely view of the amazon river and the sunset.
It was amazing apart from doing a great thing I’ve also learned a lot about turtles and ocean. I met really great people which made this trip unforgettable. I recommend everyone going to Maldives for volunteering you will never regret that.
An unforgettable experience! Being able to identify individual dolphins even from over 20 years ago and name new dolphins, gives a deeper sense of connection to these magnificent creatures. I also enjoyed learning about dolphin communication. It’s nice spending the day on the boat and then relaxing in the thermal pools. 10 out of 10, I would love to do this again!
I spent 4 weeks and loved my time there. The work is tough & hands on but very rewarding!! It’s so lovely to see first hand how best to rehabilitate the animals. Everyone at the shelter was nice and friendly. It’s an experience I’ll never forget, and hope to one day have again!!

spent one month at the Marine and Turtle Conservation project in the Maldives and it was a really positive experience. Although it was my first volunteer project and I wasn’t sure what to expect.....

uring my stay in Costa Rica at the Animal Rescue and Conservation project, I had some amazing moments, and some frustrating moments. But my overall six weeks I had there I will never forget.
