turtle conservation program
August 15, 2025by: maaike s - NetherlandsI did volunteering in Nusa Penida for the turtle conservation program and I enjoyed it alot. I really liked the experience of volunteering and learning something new about the turtles and the culture. I met new people from around the world and I really like working with the turtles. Comments on local team, food and accommodation: The coördinators were very friendly and helpful. They really care about what they do and they help you if you don't understand something. The accomodation was nice and the food was good.
So glad you had a positive experience – the local team really is the heart of the program, and they’ll be so happy to hear your kind words!

Indonesia (Nusa Penida) Turtle Conservation
April 17, 2025by: Carina L - GermanyWe collected waste on the streets, cared for the baby turtles (fed them, cleaned them, cleaned their tank) and on my last day I was participating in letting them free :) Comments on local team, food and accommodation, local team was sooo nice, helpful, and very openhearted! And even played live music for us daily and organized a bonfire! Loved it!
We’re so happy to hear you settled in well and enjoyed the food, accommodation, and local support. Every volunteer makes a real difference.
I was volunteering in Nusa penida Bali for turtle conservation program
February 18, 2025by: Melanie E - FranceThe trip was good. Meet people and the turtles are so cute. . Nusa penida it's a beautiful island. And volunteering was a really great experience because you know you're helping and give time to make a difference. The accommodations are really nice and also the food lot of vegetarian food. Maybe had more of local food will be better I think. The local team is great :)
Thanks for the great review! It’s always amazing to hear how much our volunteers enjoy both the work and the people they meet.



Bali Turtles Program
January 29, 2025by: Maitreyi J - SwitzerlandVolunteering was the best experience of my life ! The turtles are so cute and it was very fulfilling to take care of them. I met loads of amazing people, visited places that looked absolutely out of this world, and gained lots of independence. I feel as though this experience has changed me as a person, I’ve learnt a lot. The coordinators are amazing: they’re easygoing, funny, dedicated and always there to make you smile. The food and the accommodation was excellent.
So happy to hear this! We’ll pass on your feedback to the local team.
