GoEco - Top Volunteer Organization

Traveling half way around the world to volunteer effort, time and energy on marine conservation takes trust. GoEco delivered, far exceeding any preconceived expectations and hopes we had before arriving on Naifaru. The entire team provided thorough support, training and guidance so that we could participate, contribute and perform to our utmost potential. We left with a tremendous sense of achievement, accomplishment and countless unforgettable memories.

I was a little uncertain about booking a volunteer trip with an organization I didn't have personal experience with, but wow! I'm thrilled I took a chance on GoEco. Their staff were incredibly communicative, helpful and supportive throughout the process - they patiently answered all my questions, guided me to a location that suited me and made sure I had all information I needed to ensure a wonderful trip. The Giant Tortoise Breeding Center volunteer experience in the Galapagos Islands was more than I could ever have imagined... filled with ideal balance of hard work, interesting learning, plenty of free time for diving/snorkeling/relaxation, connection with the local community and endless opportunities for Spanish practice. I felt supported by both GoEco and the IOI program. I'm already looking forward to my next GoEco travel opportunity.

I absolutely loved my time volunteering here. It was way more than learning about sea turtle conservation or marine life. The trip was a full immersion in the Indonesian culture where I got to meet locals, other volunteers from all over the world and make friendships to cherish for many years. Beyond grateful for the experience. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to travel in a lively place and get to see the real Indonesia, not just the IG hotspots. I have also done the introduction week which is a great way to get onboarded and learn more about this land’s customs and traditions.
