I really enjoyed my experience here and I'm grateful for the time I spent at this beautiful place. The location is surrounded by nature and is perfect for anyone who loves surfing, hiking, or simply relaxing.

David and Cristina were incredibly kind and welcoming, and working with Lurdes, the chef, was a real pleasure. She made every day in the kitchen enjoyable.

It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a volunteer opportunity in a beautiful and peaceful place.

My experience at Caldeira at the surf camp fully met my expectations. Here there is a tranquility and an immersion in local life that are truly special. The nature, the local gastronomy and the people of this place touched my heart. I thank Cristina and David for the opportunity to have been part of this wonderful guesthouse and for letting me lend a hand. And thank you for having such a beautiful dog as Aqua. Without a doubt, he brightened many of my moments with his company. I wish you all the best and happiness with the little Zafira :)

My first volunteer experience at Caildeira the surf camp was incredible. The isolated location and landscapes left me speechless, letting me fully disconnect. I had plenty of free time to explore the surroundings, I went hiking, enjoyed the lake, surfed, and explored other parts of the island. The tasks were simple, helping with breakfast preparation or serving during dinner. The whole team was kind and always there to help and guide me with the tasks. David and Cristina were welcoming and always available whenever I needed anything. I made wonderful memories and really hope to come back one day!!

My experience in the surf camp was truly wonderful. Between hiking, kayaking, and surfing, I found the nature escape I had been looking for. The place is stunning, and David and Cristina are always kind and helpful. As for the tasks, they are simple and almost always allow for more than half a day of free time, which gives you plenty of time to fully enjoy the area and connect with the locals. One downside was the continuos tensions within the team, which affected the work atmosphere, especially because in a place like this, you'd expect nothing but peace and tranquility.
