The Experience

Are you a people person? We are looking for kind and hard working individuals that can help us improve our customers experience and make it memorable. Enjoy unlimited access to our guided whale watching tours. "Save the Whales", campaign was the beginning of the environmental movement as we know it. The song of the Humpback Whale is an experience that inspires us to want to do better and reduce our impacts on our beautiful blue planet.

It was a life changing / super spiritual experience!!! I'm beyond grateful for having the chance to seeing Whales, and being fully present while enjoying their company. The hotel crew is amazing and caring, also the food is sooo good.... Mil gracias the hotel!!!

Great hotel and great people! I will recommend to go there in the high season- the whale season. the facility is probably much better then most of the hostel you've stayed in before, the stuff and the manager are awesome and the food is great. some important notes- 1. be ready to speak only Spanish. 2. most of the backpackers are staying in El Valle so take advantage of your free time and go there. 3. it could be very rainy! 4. I don't recommend to go there before the high season, there is no much to help with

Las tareas del voluntariado son simples, consiste en acompañar las excursiones y colaborar con la actividad, solo tuve 3 salidas no sabía bien que hacer porque no hay comunicación. Las comidas no suelen ser variadas pero si es una porción justa y considerable. La higiene del hostal es impecable, las habitaciones son aseadas y uno dispone del uso de lavandería lo cual se agradece. Al principio del voluntariado el entorno era familiar pero luego se volvió muy deshumanizado a mi parecer. Hubo una situación grave en el hotel, no fui acompañada en absoluto eso afectó mi predisposición con el hotel.

La experiencia fue sorprendente la principal actividad claramente es el avistamiento, lo que permite conocer conceptos importantes de ellas para brindar a los turistas una mejor experiencia más la meditación que es muy vital para contar con una grandiosa energía y poder establecer una conexión con las ballenas, el staff, el Sr Allen son grandiosas personas me permitieron vivir una agradable experiencia en Bahia Solano, estoy seguro de que regresaré a Hostal el hotel. Ahahah y la comida super rica.
