Details

Description
We are a brand new outdoor adventure company offering watersports and activities from the beautiful Desaru Coast beach in East Johor. We work on the beach all year round offering the public and holidaymakers great experiences from surfing, sailing, kayaking to jetskis and ATVs. We are looking for fun energetc individuals to spend some time with us. You will learn lots of skills on watersports, marine safety and get a chance to really immerse in truly Malaysian local culture and hospitality. Its great fun.
Type of help
General Maintenance
Helping with Tourists
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Desaru is an up and coming destination with a huge amount of investment however it remains at its heart a sleepy, very friendly slice of Malaysian coastal rural life. People here are as relaxed as they come - a great contrast from Kuala Lumpur and the polar opposite of the Khao San Road. With that said we are still just a quick drive to Johor Bahru or a short ferry hop to Singapore.
Help
We run a watersports operation and activity centre so the work is centred around looking after guests when they arrive, filling in consent forms, providing safety briefings, getting equipment ready, helping guests on the water, maintaining equipment, using the equipment yourself and generally having some fun in the sun.

If you DO have a background in water sports, boats, jetskis etc then you'll be an instant superstar but don't worry if you don't. The jobs we have range from the mechanical to the gentle hospitality touch. Tell us what you can do and more importantly tell us what you want to learn. We'll find a role for you for the time you are here that will work. Our guys are just as keen to learn from you as you are from us - especially to improve their language skills.
Languages spoken
English, Australian!, Bahasa
Accommodation
We'll put you up in decent accommodation locally and pay for meals. There are a couple of options and it depends what is available at the time. We are not looking for a large number of workawayers to help out - just one or two so we have plenty of space.

These two crazy South Africans were a great fit with the Outdoors team.
We loved having them work along side us on the beach each day.
Both are fitness freaks and love to have a go at activities and were great when demonstrating different activities to guests.
We had no problems letting them deal directly with our customers and they were always… read more

We were the second set of WA with the host, and we had a great time! We stayed for 5 weeks and helped with social media, digital marketing and water sports. Some days were pretty long, and you need to be willing to get stuck in and help in all aspects, as well as cleaning jetski’s with the team on some evenings. The apartment is really nice, with… read more

We sincerely loved having Tanja & Anders with us.
They were both bubbly, happy souls to have around and mucked in and really helped when we needed it.
They were great dealing with customers and we never had any concerns about 'putting them out there' with our clients.
Thanks for spending some time with us on the beach and we wish you the best in… read more

This is over all a nice workaway! The Malay staff are sweet and helpful (some a bit lazy), job is nice, working straight at a stunning beach selling snacks/beach activities or talking and helping customers about beach activities, maintaining the sales area, filling up stock, maintaining and carrying the equipment.
If you're handy and… read more

Brian & Lindsay were fantastic. We were still finding our feet with how best to host WorkAway-ers, and they were patient and supportive the whole way through. We loved having them as part of the team, and the Malaysian staff really enjoyed rubbing shoulders with them each day and learning from their life experiences. They were both up for a… read more
