I startet my travel journey here and I couldn't have imagined a better place to start it. David and Azmi are super friendly and always in a good mood. I had some of the funniest evenings here. I stayed 3 weeks and did a lot of cool things: using the Kayak, swimming in the bioluminescent water, driving a quad on the beach, hiking in the jungle, cutting my first coconut and tried a lot of different local dishes. It's definitely an adventurous stay and you need to be okay with living very minimalistic but I would definitely recommend it! Thank you so much David and Azmi for this amazing time:)

I had such a wonderful experience at the host. David, the host, is nice, easygoing, and takes good care of us. All the volunteers were friendly, kind, and helpful, and we made many good memories together. The location is beautiful, right by the beach and surrounded by the national park forest. I had so many first-time experiences here: camping, kayaking at sunset, seeing glowing plankton at night, hiking, playing ukulele on the beach, cutting coconuts, and releasing baby turtles. Perfect for nature lovers and adventurers. I learned so much and grew through this experience!

Thank you, David, Azmi, and Captain Lee. You made me feel at home in another country. Thank you. I think meeting you was the best thing about my trip to Malaysia. Although life is simpler compared to the city, it was still very worthwhile.

This was a good experience! It was a great way to unplug from the rest of the world and just relax. The group I met is what made this experience so great!
