Good trip in Cape Town!
September 01, 2025by: Jessica Chau - TaiwanProgram: Volunteer in Surfing in South AfricaHave had a good time learning surfing and surfing with local kids. The arrangements by IVHQ are good, with a detailed pre-departure checklist for me to prepare myself before the trip. The local team is kind and friendly. The accommodation and food are the same as the description.
Volunteering to immerse, learn, and grow
April 21, 2023by: Floriane Di RolloProgram: Volunteer in Surfing in South AfricaI love going surfing with the kids all afternoon. I've learned that no matter what our family/financial situation is, always be humble and kind to others like the children we are with every day. Volunteering will allow you to immerse yourself in a new culture, learn a lot from the locals and make lifelong friends. But most importantly it will allow you to grow.
Incredible experience with IVHQ - unforgettable!
March 22, 2023by: Hugo Bernard-PullenProgram: Volunteer in Surfing in South AfricaIVHQ was very helpful and informative. The local team was all very nice and helpful and provided me with the best knowledge for my experience. It was one of the best experiences of my life. In terms of food, the cook was lovely and the food was delicious. I had so much fun with the kids on the beach and in the water. And seeing the areas underprivileged children come from was very impactful to me.
