You do a great job!

The team at the nature reserve made me feel so welcome. They were friendly and I felt comfortable since the first day. Snorkeling in the Red Sea - either alone or with an experienced ranger - was amazing. I'm so happy when I think about my time there!! Thank you for the organization and everything! The emails were always friendly and so fast. You do a great job!

Every single part of the trip was memorable!

Travelling abroad alone for the very first time is absolutely terrifying, but I enjoyed every single moment. GoEco made me feel at ease before I arrived at the coral reef and when I started working. The friendly staff and breath taking environment made this a once in a lifetime experience. I have never felt more at home even in an unfamiliar country. Not only did I help to preserve the amazing environment , but I also learnt a lot about myself and I would recommend this to anyone who seeks adventure, growth or to feel at home.
