I can't say enough good things about the project. They truly care about the social and environmental work they do. They are constantly working to better the area in a way that benefits sustainability and the local people. I feel like other volunteers would get a lot of fulfillment out of it! The project is gorgeous and I saw some of the most amazing wildlife. More than that, the activities I got to join in on I'll remember forever. Waterfalls, caves, river canoes, and more! Volunteers here will learn about the earth, how to learn from it, and make a lot of great memories :) Thanks the project!

I had the best time here! The hours were always as agreed and I felt supported if I had any questions. Everyone has the friendliest personalities there. The little island became like a second home to me while I was there. I was so sad to leave!
