Hi 👋 This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was a blast!! I met the most amazing people in this place and will for sure come back one day!! I was here during low season so I don't know if everything is the same in high season. The tasks you get as a volunteer are pretty easy and don't take much time. You'll get a lot of beach days here and there's great surf instructors to learn how to surf. If you like to party this is also the place to be. All in all a great experience and I will miss the people I met here deeply! I hope you choose to come to this place, it's worth it!!

I had an amazing experience at the surf camp, it was my first solo travelling experience so I was nervous about what it was going to be like but everyone I met was very friendly and welcoming. I learned to surf, met about a hundred travellers from all over the world many of which I will be staying in touch with and travelling with in the future. The camp is located in the rainforest so show up prepared for that and you will have no problems. The jobs were easy and did not take away from any of the activities around camp. Thanks again for the surf camp having me, best summer ever.

The surf camp was truly one of the best experiences of my life!! I met so many great people, it's very easy to make friends. The tasks for volunteers are very easy and take little time during the day. I would definitely recommend the surf camp for a first solo trip !

The surf camp was my very first solo travel experience and I couldn't recommend it more. I was very nervous going in but i ended up meeting the most amazing people which made it all worth it. The biggest challenge was the living conditions. Because the surf camp is such a humid environment it is very hard to keep things dry witch causes mold to grow. A lot of people ended up getting sick from this mold (bring allergy meds). Despite this, I made lifelong friends. If you are on the fence about going I would say 100% do it! Please reach out to me if you have any questions at all about my experience!
