Loved it🤍
March 24, 2026by: Martina Eva Ennas - SwitzerlandProgram: Volunteer in Turtle Conservation in Nusa Penida, Bali
I absolutely loved the entire three-week experience, starting with our time in Ubud during culture week, where I got to fully immerse myself in Balinese traditions, daily life, and such a unique atmosphere. It was an incredible way to learn and connect on a deeper level. Afterwards, being in Nusa Penida for the marine conservation part made the experience even more special—working with nature and contributing to something meaningful was truly rewarding. On top of that, I met so many kind and inspiring people along the way who I now genuinely consider my friends 🤍
New Found Love for Baby Sea Turtles
January 15, 2026by: Nancy Hewett - United StatesProgram: Volunteer in Turtle Conservation in Nusa Penida, Bali
Bail Turtle Conservation: I have a new found love for baby sea turtles!! I will truly miss seeing their wonderful little faces, feeding them daily, brushing them and catching live turtles for them to eat. What an amazing experience I will never forget. The people you meet while volunteering are people that have like minded passions and are amazing. Thank you Green Lion for your passion & project, and the team at IVHQ for all your help.

Family Turtle experience, life changing
October 24, 2025by: Leslie Miller - United StatesProgram: Volunteer in Turtle Conservation in Nusa Penida, Bali
We wanted to engage in a turtle conservation project as a family with teens and found he perfect program with IVHQ. We could do 1 week programs in Lombok, offering private accommodations for our family of 4, the meals were amazing, and the experience was unbelievable. Lombok is a more remote version of Bali and offers a wonderful culture of family and surfing lifestyle. The turtle site offered daily opportunities to engage directly with the baby turtles; feeding, cleaning and engaging with them. And at the end of the week, we were able to release turtles into the ocean. Life changing experience. Our kids have a greater appreciation of combining travel and philanthropy.
