Fuze Ecoteer Outdoor Adventures Reviews

I am a HUGE animal lover, so to be able to work with/learn about/take care of a variety of wild animals was an amazing experience. The staff at the Center are super friendly, the program people want to make sure you get the most out of the experience, and working with the animals is truly priceless. I can not say enough good things about this experience. Each day you will help clean and feed a different type of animal so you can learn about each one (birds, monkeys, baby bear, and of course the amazing orangutans).....and you only have to participate at the level you are comfortable with. I truly recommend this program if you are interested in wildlife and would like to help/contribute in some small way to their daily happiness.

When I first saw the advert to teach English as a volunteer in Thailand, I was a bit apprehensive
because it meant that I would be arriving in a foreign country on my own. I need not have worried
because June the Volunteer Organiser met me and she was so friendly and quickly put me at ease.

We travelled to Surin the following day to the volunteer accommodation. The house is lovely, it's only
about three years old, very modern with lovely wet rooms. June the Volunteer Organiser only lives 3 minutes walk away. In the evening we would go to June's house or she would bring us home cooked
food. The food was lovely and June is an amazing cook. June did everything to make my trip as
worthwhile as possible and would take me out in the evening to sample the area's attractions.

Each day the volunteers would be driven to the school where we were teaching. The Director and
the teachers of the school made you feel most welcome and had great respect for you.
The teaching wasn't difficult and the children were most respectful. They really enjoyed the lessons
and the input from foreign teachers.

I would recommend volunteering to teach English to everyone. It's such a worthwhile experience and
I am so pleased that I did it and will never forget the wonderful children that I taught

This is the first mountain I climbed and I loved every minute of it. I felt like with the people I climbed with we became a little family, looking out for each other! If you want to do a volunteering holiday/trip I would recommend this. The staff was very friendly and very helpful.

In September 2012 I was given the opportunity to assist with the work preserving wildlife, and in particular Malaysian tigers in Taman Negara, Malaysia. From the moment we were first picked up from the train station, until we left we were looked after by the wonderful staff at Ecoteer.

Upon arrival at the accomodation centre, we were greeted with a nice comfy bed in a large gender split dorm room. The next day our group were led into the jungle to look for signs of animals and animal poaching, in particular traps which we took the pleasure of destroying. Many interesting footprints, critters and stunning scenery along the way. Just be sure to watch for the leeches!

A wonderful swim in the local fresh water pool was the perfect cure after a sweaty days' trekking. At night we were able to enjoy a meal and a few cold beverages talking about all the action of the day.

Next morning up bright and early to find some more traps and reset the camera traps used to capture the animals in their major animal "highways", seeing pictures of tigers that have been walking on the same path as you only a few days before was pretty special. We were taken to a viewpoint overlooking the whole area. Very cool. Finally the day was finished cooling off in another fresh water stream. Perfect ending.

It was a great weekend, and I definitely learnt a lot. It is great to see that there is people out there that care about our world and the dwindling numbers of important animals to the ecosystem. Keep up the good work!
