The tasks are easy and always finish before the set time, volunteers are entitled to breakfast at the hostel, we can use the bicycle and the surfboard, the hostel has a good structure and the hosts are very flexible!

My experience at Oceanporto was so nice, there I gave a hand in the breakfast and learned how to works to iron bed sheets, the shift's time always was respected and organized for Nazare, a dear lady responsible for volunteer's tasks. My bed was in a hut like a private room even in a shared room, I really appreciated it. Every single day I had opportunity to practice english and sometimes spanish, it's also was a good point to me. The hostel is in a good localization, in a lovely neighboor where there are so many parks, close to metro and beach. Definitely it's a great spot, I recomend :)
