Jungle & Coast: Wildlife & Sea Turtles in Costa Rica
Program Overview
Discover Costa Rica’s stunning landscapes while making a real difference in wildlife conservation. Split your time between caring for rescued animals – sloths, forest animals, and more – and protecting endangered sea turtles as they journey to the ocean.
Work with trusted local partners on vital conservation efforts, from rehabilitating exotic animals to safeguarding sea turtle hatchlings. While your days are filled with hands-on conservation efforts, you can do much more. So, when you’re not volunteering, you can explore Costa Rica’s black-sand beaches, hike through lush rainforests, and visit active volcanoes.
With most logistics taken care of—including accommodation and support—you’ll focus on meaningful work and unforgettable adventures in one of the world’s most biodiverse countries.
Join fellow volunteers, experience Costa Rica’s vibrant culture, and leave knowing you’ve made a lasting impact on some of the planet’s most incredible creatures.
Use code GA100 for up to $100 off your trip.
