I had an amazing time at Pangumbahan conservation!! Everyone is so welcoming and I made many new friends. I really felt like part of the team, and I loved experiencing local life in Ujung Genteng. I saw many turtles during my time here; mother turtles laying eggs and also many baby the community releases! Lydia takes very good care of the volunteers, she is really kind. I can definitely recommend this volunteer experience if you want to contribute to sea the community conservation!

I had the absolute best time at the community! The team welcome you with the biggest smiles from the minute you arrive. Lydia, the coordinator at the community is very caring, helpful and positive. She made the experience unforgettable! When you volunteer here you become part of the family, immersed in local life and Indonesian culture. You learn a lot about turtles and the huge efforts and care the team take with conservation of turtles. It was beautiful to witness mother the community lay eggs, baby turtles hatching and the release of baby turtles into the community. I was very lucky!

I had an amazing experience at Pantai Konservasi Penyu Pangumbahan. The task I did was pretty much the same as the description. I could witness the baby turtles hatching, the mother the community laying eggs, and baby the community release. I was also able to meet locals and talk to them, and learn a lot about their culture and the language. However, some of the facilities were a little basic, such as the bathroom. I highly recommend this host if you love sea turtles and the sea!

I had an incredible experience volunteering here. From the beginning, I was welcomed with so much kindness and affection, and I truly felt like part of the family. the community conservation work was beautiful, and releasing baby turtles into the community was unforgettable. At times, there were very few volunteers, which could feel a little lonely and boring. I also sometimes had to ask to take part in certain activities. Still, the warmth of the team and the amazing moments I experienced made this a truly memorable adventure.
