Our stay with Ecoteer was very positive and rather unique experience. Although I must admit that the organization of our daily routine was not perfect, the time spent with the local kids as well as villagers completely made up for it.

I volunteered on the Perhentian Islands with Ecoteer a few months ago and had the time of my life! I was there with a friend for 3-4 weeks and what I enjoyed the most was the sheer variety of experiences offered to us. Every day was something new, from teaching a class, to sweating it in the jungle chopping down... More

I went on this trip thinking I'd get a chance to be exposed to environmental conservation cause and lend a hand in village community projects but what awaits me during the 4-day trip was awesome! While we did our part in volunteering activities such as house painting, village clean-up, gardening/farming, there was ample opportunity to interact with the local kids... More

Making your vacation worthwhile by volunteering. Usually, when I travel to the beach, I would be doing nothing but stay under the sun. This time, I wanted a change. Helping the villagers paint their houses, having dinner with them and learning about the marine environmental conservation are just the things you will experience with Ecoteer. They have set an itinerary,... More
