Thorough, supportive and reliable company
I recently went on the Marine and Turtle Conservation programme in the Maldives and had the time of my life! GoEco looked after me really, really well through the whole process, from the initial booking onwards, with great pre-, peri- and post-trip support. The personal portal on the GoEco website was really helpful for my planning too and I appreciated how thorough their system and processes were.

Je viens de revenir d’un séjour au…
Je viens de revenir d’un séjour au Costa Rica au Slot Rescue Center.
On m’a pris en charge directement à l’aéroport ( identification claire) pour m’apporter directement au refuge .
Dès le lendemain, mon expérience de travail a débuté.
À cet endroit, il y a 4 équipes de travail.
Pour ma part, je fut placé avec la vétérinaire team, dûe à mon expérience de volontariat passé et mon expérience médicale aussi. C’est un travail, ce n’est pas un tout inclus 5 étoiles.
Nous avons une journée de congé par semaine avec la possibilité de faire des activités organisées.
La nourriture est bonne mais ce n’est pas un buffet, tout le monde mange à sa faim, et si ça ne vous convient pas, il y a une épicerie à quelques minutes de marche . Les journées commencent tôt et peuvent finir plus tard si il y a des besoins.
Les gens sont très respectueux et tout le monde travaille en équipe.
Pour les périodes de pause, il y’a une piscine sur le site et des activités en soirée durant la semaine.
Le ménage est fait, les lits changés au semaine et l’endroit est très bien entretenu et propre.
Les propriétaires sont présentes et très soucieuses de notre confort.
Je les remercie.
J’espère que vous aurez du plaisir si vous y allez aussi!
Belle découverte 💡

Thank you so much Linda, for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review! 🌿🦥 We're so happy to hear that you had a meaningful experience at the Sloth Rescue Center in Costa Rica. It sounds like you really embraced the spirit of the program, contributing your skills, working hard, and being part of a supportive team.
We’re glad the transition from the airport to the center went smoothly and that you appreciated the structure, organization, and cleanliness of the site. It’s definitely not a luxury vacation, but as you said so well, it’s a real, rewarding experience that leaves a lasting impact. 💚✨

This experience was wonderful
This experience was wonderful from my point of view. I think that such experiences help us in terms of awareness. They develop awareness and introduce you to people from around the world, friends from everywhere. And because of the animals, when you are with them you can understand their looks and become attached to these animals because you tried to help them and provide everything for them. It was a fantastic experience for me. I will repeat it and I will never forget such an experience in my life.

GoEco and Panthera
Our experience volunteering at Panthera was fantastic and the support we received from GoEco enabling us to be well prepared for our volunteering was equally excellent
It was great to see the care taken at the Cat Sanctuary and the impact on conservation and welfare of the cats and it was great to help this through all of the tasks we were involved in
It was also great working with the other volunteers and meeting new people and having some fun along the way and feeling part of the Panthera team along with their truly dedicated team

Great experience!
Had a great experience at the puma sanctuary working with the other volunteers surrounded by beautiful animals and so much greenery. Goeco was thorough with the application, interview, and follow through. They were always responsive with my inquiries until the very end. Agus, who was my main point of contact, always checked in to make sure things were going smoothly. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again.

My second experience doing Volunteering trip at Cango wildlife ranch was fantastic I had no words to describe how great it was to be back to the ranch.
The high light of my trip this time would have to be having the opportunity to do the internship programme for one week and assisting with the behind the scenes tasks.

Amazing!
The marine conservation project in Tofo, Mozambique was an absolutely wonderful experience. Not only did we get to learn how to dive, but we also got to learn so much about all the animals that we saw and about how to help safe the oceans and their inhabitants by helping an experienced marine biologist with her work. The Tilak Lodge was really nice and the staff at the Lodge as well as at TofoScuba were amazing. It was a wonderful experience overall and I recommend this program to anyone who loves the sea and who's looking for a good time.

Elephant Sanctuary Thailand
Just back from 3 weeks at the WFFT elephant sanctuary in Thailand. An 80th birthday present to myself and one of the best experiences of my life. To learn the history of the 22 rescued elephants and the suffering they had endured for many years in the logging or trekking industries as well as in the tourist industry was heartbreaking. To work there improving the quality of life - feeding, cleaning, showering, walking - for our much loved elephants was rewarding, emotional and totally fulfilling. Great feeling of camaraderie working together with a common aim, whatever your age. GoEco has been professional, supportive and impressive from start to finish. Great communication which I very much appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending GoEco for anyone considering volunteering abroad.

It sounds like your time at the Elephant Forest Refuge in Thailand was truly life-changing. Working so closely with the elephants and learning their stories must have been both heartbreaking and incredibly rewarding. And what a way to make a difference—feeding, cleaning, walking, and just being part of their care. That kind of hands-on experience is so special!
We’re so happy to hear you loved the camaraderie and felt that we supported you every step of the way. Thanks so much for the glowing recommendation—it means a lot! 💚

A bespoke family experience
This a truly kids friendly program. We have loved interacting with the turtles and learning about the ocean. The Atoll Marine Centre staff was caring, attentive, patient and made sure to engage our daughters in ways that were respectful of their individual personalities. They encouraged learning and constructive interactions. The program of the week was well balanced between volunteering hours and other activities such as snorkeling in a different place every day, crabbing, movie night etc. An authentic feeling of giving back to the earth mixed with lot of fun, learning and discoveries.

7 weeks working with animals in Costa Rica
I spent 7 weeks in Costa Rica. My first week was in San Jose with a lovely host mom to learn Spanish. All of the workers were very helpful and kind. After my first week I was brought to the Costa Rica Animal Rescue Centre. It was honestly the best experience of my life! I got to work with so many animals which is a passion of mine! I learned so many things about all of them and we fed and cleaned them everyday. Definitely a lot of work but all worth it to help the animals! One of the best parts was feeding the sloths which was so amazing! I never realized how cute they really are! The workers were all so amazing at what they did and were very patient. Meeting other volunteers from around the world and making such great new friends will always be something special to me. If you’re considering doing this program I definitely recommend! Just make sure you’re ready to work in the climate. I’m from Canada so it was a big change for me but it was 100% worth it!

Working with animals you’re passionate about—and getting to feed the sloths!—must have been so rewarding. 🌿 It sounds like the supportive team and the awesome fellow volunteers made it all even better. And yeah, that tropical climate must have been a big change from Canada!

Chipangalli..experience of a lifetime
I spent 3 weeks at Chipangalli Animal Orphanage along with my 23 year old son. What an experience like never before. There was an instant bond with the other volunteers because we were all there for the animals...
Three weeks flew by. You work hard, eat a lot, take excursions, and become one family. I cried saying goodbye to the animals and the other volunteers as well as our wonderful hosts, the Wilson family.
I spent time with Atlas, the young Hyena as well as the adult Hyena, Apollo. Who would have thought that I would ever get to play and hold a little Hyena!
If you expect everything to run smoothly, think again. The electricity is on and off. The water in the shower may be hot or cold or just right. The work is labor intensive. I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING!
If you are looking to make a difference in the lives of animals, this is the place. The Zimbabwe employees are so kind and helpful. Very patient with all the volunteers who are learning the ropes.

Thank you so much for this heartfelt review Pam! It sounds like you and your son truly embraced the experience at the African Wildlife Orphanage in Zimbabwe, from bonding with the other volunteers to caring for Atlas and Apollo (bonding with a young hyena must be a memory for a lifetime!). We’re glad to hear the ups and downs of life there didn’t get in the way of such an incredible connection with the animals and people around you. And we agree—the Zimbabwean staff are amazing, sharing their patience and wisdom with every new volunteer. Thank you again for being part of this journey with us, and for all the love and effort you put into making a difference. Hope to see you back someday! 🐾
