Review
I have volunteered with mulitple sea turtle research and protection projects in the past five years, working in various Caribbean and Central American countries. Ocean Spirits was difinitely once of the best programs that I have volunteered with.
Living, working, dining and playing with the staff and other volunteers, we quickly became friends and a well organized team. The volunteers are an important part of this team, and that importance was made known to me and was easily felt by me.
The Leatherbacks turtles, admittedly are my favorite. Their huge size and prehistoric appearance is truly something to behold. I felt honored and blessed to just be in the presence of these incredible creatures. Plus to know that I was able to be of some help in the process of saving these endangered turtles for future generations, is a wonderful feeling that continues to stay with me.
The accommodations were very comfortable and the view of the sea and outer islands from the dining area is spectacular. The best part by far is being on the beach at night with the Leatherback turtles. I felt honored to be able to work with these endangered creatures and witness the nesting process. Words cannot describe the immense good feelings I had while mid-wifing a hundred turtle eggs from a 1000 + pound mother. It's life changing !
The Island of Grenada is beautiful and the people are quite friendly. The staff at Ocean Spirits are dedicated, welcoming and very helpful.
My hope is to return to Grenada and Ocean Spirits, either this year of next.
My hope is to go back to Grenada and Ocean Spirits within the next year, or as soon as my work schedule allows. Since you have read this review, then you already have some interest in this type of project. Sign up and go, you'll have a great time in a beautiful setting, and will feel good about your new connection with nature.
