I really enjoyed my time at the hostel. The work is straight forward and it's a very relaxed atmosphere. Taganga is a cute little town with easy access to lots of neighbouring towns. The owners are lovely and the volunteers are really like a family. I also highly recommend going diving with the team, it's incredible.

I Had a fantastic experience. The hostel has a great atmosphere, and the terrace offers an incredible sunset view. Mona, the owner, is excellent at delegating tasks and knows when to trust people to show their capabilities. The three charming turtles and two adorable cats add a special touch, making it feel like a home away from home. The location is perfect, with easy access to the beach, Sta Marta and other places around. And you can go for Diving with special prices.

I enjoyed my time at the hostel! The hostel was cozy and the staff was great :) I especially enjoyed the views from the third floor from a hammock. I did a lot of hiking and enjoyed the beach on my free time. The working tasks were simple and the schedule was clear and well organised. I'm going to miss my people!
