The Experience

We don't breed turtles; we maintain coastal areas so that mother turtles can safely lay their eggs. We preserve nature to prevent turtles and other. If you're lucky, you might get to observe the turtle egg incubation process and participate in releasing the baby turtles into the ocean. We want to ensure the conservation area remains well-maintained. Mon: Clean Up Tue: Taking care of plants Wed: Art Day Thurs: Taking care of plants Fri: Clean Up

I had a lovely time with Dita and Endik. Even though I've stayed only for a week, I got to experience a lot of different things such as releasing baby turtles, teaching and playing with children and harvesting rice. Dita, Endik, Dila and all people who helped them made me feel at home right from the beginning and were always flexible and helpful throughout my stay. I can recommend it to anyone who fancies a laid-back atmosphere, fair workloads and delicious food made out of regional ingredients. Thank you :)

I stayed with Dita at the community for 1 month, and it was a wonderful experience! In the village, it's very calm, and you can relax and rest while also enjoying the community and making an impact. Dita is warm and welcoming, and I always felt safe and in good hands. She also brought me to Blitar to see the chocolate factory, took me to try local restaurants, and she cooked amazing food. Dita is also very helpful and helped me and the other volunteers book different activities and transportation, and she even helped me review my visa. I loved my time here, and I hope to return someday. Thank you!!

I fell in love with the family, the team, the other volunteers, the way of life, the community, the children, and of course the turtles! It was an honor to experience the daily life, the sustainable food.! The kindness and generosity of time, knowledge and experience was constant! For example, I loved to meditate by the river in the back of the property every morning. The slope was a bit of a problem (I have some mobility issues) so the next morning when I went, the family had built a path with steps from stone on their property! Thank you and see you next year!

My stay with Dita was perfect. It was my first time doing something with Worldpackers and it was a good place to start. We took care of the mangrove trees, painted signs, taught English to the children, got to try our hand at batik and helped out with cooking. The food was really delicious and we got to try various Indonesian dishes. The location right by the ocean and far away from tourist spots was beautiful. All in all, it was a truly wonderful time and I would come back anytime.

My stay with Dita and her family was amazing! Not only does she make you feel right at home with her friendly and open attitude. But also allows you to get a glimpse into what it's like living like a local in a beautiful village. All tasks are fun and not too tiring. Her cooking is amazing. Can only recommend this experience to anyone :). Thanks Dita!
