“Mickey who was our Tour guide he was absolutely fantastic, everything we asked he knew he made the trip amazing if it wasn't for him and how well organised he was each day it wouldn't have been the same. Amazing Mickey”

“Excellent experience, felt useful, appreciated and learned so much from the project lead, Peter Jacobs. The meet and greet was well organised but would suggest travelling to Sodwana via Durban, it is nearer, the bus journey from Jo'burg is very long! Although there is no predictability of frequency of turtle sightings one can contribute so much to beach cleaning, talking to the local community and promoting the conservation. I experienced the nesting phase, sadly had to leave before the hatchlings appeared but I hope to return. Most turtle sightings and activites are in the evenings, tide related which leaves plenty of time to explore and engage with an amazing assortment of activities; snorkelling, beach combing, deep sea fishing and even a microlight experience, to give an overview literally of the area and animals. Nearby are safaris parks and a wealth of animals to observe in the wild; all can be arranged through the placement, yes this incurs additional costs but not expensive and truly worth every penny. More information / communication between project and placement and volunteer would have been useful re travel but did not detract from an amazing experience facilitated by the kindness and organisation of the hosts.”

“I loved the whole experience it was amazing. Would recommend this trip to anyone.”

“The trip itself was amazing, and on the whole I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a very busy trip though, with lots of travel, which can be tiring. the range of activities offered are amazing though, and it is good that a lot of them are included in the trip, and those that arent are generally a reasonable price. The only issues i would have would relate to the pre-trip communication. Correspondence was, at times, lacking, which did not make me feel as confident about the trip as other I have taken previously.”

“Loved every second of my time away and would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Football "coaching" is misleading, there is no coaching involved it is simply playing 7's for 2hours with Brazilian teenagers 5days a week. Try and learn as much Portuguese as possible as only one coach speaks basic English and very few of the players speak English. Being nutmegged is inevitable, you just have to deal with it and enjoy watching the game played the Brazilian way.”

“Greater communication between booking and arriving would have avoided problems on arrival. Some of the initial information was misleading such as distance of animal sanctuary from the nearest town. When I queried location for inoculation purposes I was given different information. I enquired about booking the airflight with them. The flight cost given was considerably higher than I had found on Expedia and my email had not been read correctly so the dates did not match the dates I had given. Although I stated that I would be staying in Ecuador for a few days after the volunteering and would not be returning straight to Quito, this was not relayed to the local organisation and so they had booked a hostel room for me. The meeting with the local agent was good, the taxi driver hired to take me to the bus was excellent. The hostel was very poor. I had asked if I would need Spanish as I have none. I was told no as English was spoken at the project. That English was spoken at the project was correct. Not at the hostel where I was booked in, fortunately a little by the taxi driver but that was fortunate - I found very few taxi drivers, shopkeepers or hoteliers who spoke English. Given that the arrival day is Sunday, many places were closed and the hostel could not even muster up a cup of tea people need to be told to buy plenty of water at the airport before leaving it and food if possible. I was able to find a pastry shop open, otherwise I would have had nothing to eat. The volunteer project was brilliant.”

“Every service you provide is highly inflated in price and you take money from organisations trying help the poorest and most needy people in the world. You also rip off those (volunteers) who are trying to do something good. I'm gutted to have used your service, complete waste of money.”

“This trip was the best holiday of my entire life, it was such an amazing experience with no regrets. My tour guides May and Mickey made sure the trip was outstanding. There was never a dull moment and they organised trips to suit everybody. There isn't a part that was better than another as as it was all just so good. Don't have any doubts, if you would like to go travelling, I would highly recommend booking through this company, well worth it! I will definitely be booking through these again. Thanks again May and Mickey you'se have out done yourself!”

“The tour guide we had Mickey, made our trip, he was so friendly and enthusiastic, he was great at organising everything for us, and made sure we always had something to do and that we saw the best bits in the limited time that we had. I don't think I would of been able to do half the things we did if it wasn't for him.”

“Great service - everyone who helped me was really friendly and knew their stuff which made booking the trip extremely easy. All the info I needed before was provided and they even helped sort out my flights. This set the tone for the trip itself which was AMAZING. Jonny our guide was the best - loved his enthusiasm for life which really bought the group together.”
