Once in a lifetime!
August 19, 2022by: Lucie Young - United KingdomProgram: Costa Rica Adventure with GapforceTravelling to Costa Rica with Gap Force was incredible. We had the opportunity to volunteer throughout our trip including reforestation and hatchery guarding. We saw lots of different things I would not have experienced had a travelled on my own such as seeing turtles laying eggs on remote beaches and staying with the BriBri tribe. I also loved the ziplining and the Tarzan swing. Through this trip I have met so many great people and formed amazing friendships. I would definitely recommend this once in a lifetime trip!

July 21, 2022by: Talia Whitmey - EnglandProgram: Costa Rica Adventure with GapforceReally good introduction to travelling! I’ll be doing more travelling after this trip and now feel a lot more confident about it. A pro of this trip for me has been staying in hostels and interacting with locals, you get to understand the country a lot more.
One of the most unique experiences imagineable
July 21, 2022by: Marcus Poad - United KingdomProgram: Costa Rica Adventure with GapforceReally has been an incredible month - it hasn’t slowed down for anyone, I don’t think I could imagine getting anymore out of a volunteering travelling experience! So incredible to see such a vastly different way of life, from indigenous peoples to coastal towns to mountains in the jungle, I don’t think I could’ve asked for anything more - thank you!
