Embark on an unforgettable volunteer trip and experience Costa Rica’s lifestyle whilst making a real difference to injured rainforest animals. On this amazing adventure, you’ll volunteer in a tropical, jungle-like district, dedicating your time to caring and socialising with sloths, monkeys, kinkajous, macaws and more. Picture yourself making loads of exotic and furry friends, relaxing on tropical beaches, taste-testing the delicious local cuisines and contributing to an important, real-world rescue and rehabilitation project.
We offer the complete package for those looking to volunteer abroad and, best of all, we’ve joined with local project partners to secure you a guaranteed volunteering placement overseas. You’ll be contributing to the wildlife with both confidence and purpose. Our team will help you with all the essentials, from visa assistance to airport pickup, volunteer accommodation, onsite training and so much more.
Make a sustainable impact on injured rainforest animals, make new friends from all corners of the world and break away from your routine back home as you embark on this incredible volunteer travel opportunity. This trip is perfect for anyone ready to make a difference and lasting impact on Central America’s wildlife whilst channelling that relaxed Costa Rican lifestyle at the same time.
Just in case it’s not clear already, we’re not an employment or recruitment agency, so please don’t book with us if that’s what you’re looking for. We sell and organise amazing international travel experiences for the purpose of cultural exchange & education. If a trip has a paid work option, this is not mandatory to do and is there as a means to fund your travels only, and no fee is charged by us for this component. All payments you make are for travel and local support services. If you’re still confused, please get in touch.
