My experience at Bridge Future Lombok has been truly incredible, and I feel really lucky to have been part of it.

From the very first moment you feel like part of the family. You can experience their daily life, discover the real local culture, and genuinely feel at home. Mr Herman and Shalmi are deeply committed to the community, and Future Bridge Lombok is a beautiful project to be part of.

The organisation is great, and they make sure volunteers have everything they need to feel comfortable. I am very grateful for the experience and would definitely recommend it!

This experience in worldpackers is so worth it. When I arrived they received me with a white board that said “Welcome Home Azul” and it really felt like it. Everybody treat me as part of their family. The people from the project strive to give you the best time and they constantly organize plans so you can also explore the are and truly live the local life. There's a good network of volunteers since there's an association of different project and there are constantly events to meet up. Special thanks to Pak Herman, Salmi, Shakira, Opan, Holis for making me feel like they're ade 🫶🏼

I had a wonderful experience with the project. This is a great program for anyone who wants to feel immersed in local culture. The Homestay was clean and Maya was extremely kind and provided me with delicious food every day. At the dive center Mohni was very welcoming and helpful every step of the way and helped make my experience truly great. I will really miss everyone from this experience!

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers, and I really enjoyed my stay with this program. The guys were very welcoming and always tried their best to make our experience unforgettable. I want to say a special thank you to Jack and Daved for being with us, supporting us, and organizing activities.

I tried surfing for the first time, and I did a great job thanks to my amazing teachers. We also had local activities that introduced me to Indonesian culture, with was one of my favorite parts of the experience.

I would definitely recommend this program to others volunteers.

I had a phenomenal experience with the project and would do it again in an instant. I was provided with the opportunity to learn so much more than I thought I would in regards to local life, marine conservation tequinques as well as the unique history and culture of the region I stayed. This program couldn't have been better for me, I absolutely loved it and am thankful for the opportunity!

This program is run by a lovely couple who really care and want to make a difference for their community, I had a lovely time. I would note though that it is at an early stage so needs a bit more work but would recommend.

I had the most amazing weeks at DBS Dive! It was super special to be able to contribute to the recovery of the coral. Every day consisted of diving, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and getting to know the village. The atmosphere is the group was pleasant, I felt at home and would love to come back again :)
