This volunteering is really THE BEST one can do! My stay there was nothing but amazing❤️ All the staff are SO kind, fun and helpful! Emanuel is such a great person, and takes good care of everyone! The work is a dream, leading activities on the boat during sunset! I was also teaching English for some of the staff, and I really enjoyed that too! Good communication and Emanuel is so understanding and flexible! The homestay is wonderful, close to everything! Really, a dream place! SO recommended! I would love to come back! Lots of love🥰

We loved our time working on board the SASA the boat. Emmanuel in particular is an amazing manager, he was kind and funny and was very clear on instructions. The work was super easy and is probably the best work to exploring ratio we have had.

I had a really wonderful experience at SaSa Sunset the boat! The guesthouse was lovely, and because of the low season I even had the chance to sleep in a private room, which was a great bonus. The work was only 3 hours a day, helping with tickets, the bar, activities and cleaning. The highlight was definitely watching the beautiful Mekong sunset everyday, absolutely worth it! The only downside was the communication with some of the staff, as English was limited. Also, a bit more guidance and patience on the first days would have made me feel more comfortable. Overall, a beautiful experience!!

I highly recommend this place! The people are kind and welcoming, the work is easy, and the hours are very light. During my first week, I worked with the boat crew, which was honestly one of the easiest volunteer jobs I've done. For the rest of my stay, I taught English to some of the workers, which was a really rewarding experience and a great way to connect with them. The accommodation is very comfortable, the food is delicious, and it's a great place to relax and explore the area. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend it! ☺️
