  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have separate accommodation for our volunteers in 2 purpose built little chalets ( shared toilets and showers with guests though)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We always offer our volunteers the use of the rental gear we have , bicycles, surf boards, snorkel gear and encourage them to get out and explore the area, this way they can talk knowledgeably with any guests that may ask them questions. We are a family run operation and always consider the volunteers to be apart of our close team.
    Normally we offer free accommodation and then ask the volunteer to pay for their own food and drinks , we run a " tab" for all and then at the end of the stay go through the tab, if we feel that they have worked hard then we shall ensure that the bill is certainly gone through to knock items off and make it more affordable , unfortunately we have had some volunteers that have taken advantage of us before and hence we have fallen back onto this method.
