Freya and the rest of the staff at the hostel were amazing. They were helpful, patient, accommodating, and very friendly and fun to be around. The work itself was straightforward and the hours were easy. The surrounding nature is beautiful, and the culture of the staff is really fun. I would highly recommend.

Spent a month here and the staff and other volunteers truly created a sense of community and easy friendship. The island is small but beautiful and everyone is happy to help you out or go for a little trek if the rain isn't too bad
