This was my second time volunteering with the boat and it was absolutely amazing! All volunteers really are treated like family, the environment is welcoming, shifts are as described and the weekly allowance is great. I would definitely recommend to anyone!! Thank you Niko and Dea!

I had a great experience here. Niko and Dea were very welcoming, they showed a genuine care for how we were going, made sure we had everything we needed at our stay and that we understood what to do. The work was as described, it was engaging and fun. Boat tours were offered regularly and were a great part of the experience. The town is beautiful, with plenty of beach spots. The kitchen had everything you needed, laundry was free, wifi was good. We often went out for drinks with the other staff and volunteers, who were great company. Would highly recommend this place!

Thank you so much Dea, Niko, Joni, Liza, and the rest of the team for having me! The team are all so kind and made me feel at home for my entire stay. I have shared belly hurting laughter, stories, and more with everyone at the company and it has truely been one of the best experiences I've had. The job requires you to be flexible, but the job itself is very easy. The flyer shifts were very easy and you're never truely alone, the team are all very supportive. The boat shifts are awesome, and I loved being on the boat with Joni, it was always a blast. Thank you so much to the team again!

I absolutely loved my experience with the boat. The hosts Niko and Dea were incredibly welcoming and made Himare feel like a home away from home. The work is exactly as described and super easy, and working as a tour guide on the boats is so fun. I loved meeting and making friends with all the captains as well as other locals and of course the other volunteers. The apartment is basic but has everything you need: washing machine, stovetop, kettle, fridge etc. The best first volunteering experience and 3 weeks flew in the blink of an eye. Thank you!!!

CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH! 🤩🤩🤩 I had the absolute BEST experience and even extended my stay because I couldn't bring myself to leave 🥲 Boat Tours are incredibly fun! 🚤 Flyer shifts are very easy! Having a staff apartment is wonderful (plus it's super close to the beach) The food allowance (instead of cooked meals) allows for personal flexibility with your food which I liked & having water provided is so helpful! Beautiful location and stunning sunsets 🌅 Big thanks to Dea, Niko, Joni and Liza for welcoming me into the family, miss you already & I cannot wait to return next season hopefully!! 🫶🏼
