Sea Turtle Volunteer Projects with GoEco

The program is very well structured with enough room for spontaneity. The support before arriving there is really helpful and once you are there the local team and goeco take great care to make sure you are having a good experience. I loved the project and the interaction i had with sea turtles, I could work so closely to them and truly learn new things. To top it all up, the staff and other volunteers were awesome so managed to make everything so fun, not just volunteering but also hosting parties, taking time to explore and doing weekend trips!

I was placed in the project on the Caribbean side and it was such an amazing experience. I loved the fact that there was no service as it allowed me to fully immerse myself in the nature, people and work around me. I met so many incredible people from all around the world and learned all about their lives and past travels by talking to them on patrol and hatchery shifts. I was able to assist in a few hatchling releases but I unfortunately did not see any nesting turtles on patrol. However, it was still so fun and rewarding to participate in the shifts. I had to leave early and abruptly because of a medical situation, and since I knew I would not have service I gave my mom Zoe’s, Lorenzo’s and Cristina’s contact information before I left. They were extremely helpful and quickly made accommodations for me to leave and I was so thankful for that. I cannot recommend this project enough, it was truly one of my favorite adventures.
