There are three distinctive programs to further deepen your connection and insight into the wildlife, people and ancient practices of this captivating country:

• Bali Adventure Week (Ubud) (Max. 1 week)

Click below for more details for each experience.

Location: Ubud

With Bali’s rapidly expanding tourism industry, the demand for local English speakers has never been greater. Children may have the opportunity to learn English at school, however, this is usually taught by a local Balinese teacher and thus the children never really get to practice their conversational skills or hear native English speakers. This is where you come in!

On this project, you will be spending about one to two hours each morning preparing lessons and around three hours in the afternoon teaching at a local elementary or high school. The aim of this project is to show students that learning English is fun so let your imagination run wild and be creative with your methods of teaching – through games, songs, art, sport, and music!

Location: Nusa Penida

Help and support our local partners with their vital Sea Turtle conservation efforts. Our Sea Turtle Conservation project is located on the charming island of Nusa Penida, which is a 45-minute speedboat ride from mainland Bali. The project is in its early stages, giving you the amazing opportunity to work alongside a local team and contribute to the protection of endangered sea turtles, ensuring their survival for future generations. 

As part of the marine ecosystem, turtles play a key role in keeping seagrass beds and coral reefs healthy. These, in turn, are important sources of food and shelter for countless marine species. Depending on when you join us, you may be identifying turtle species, collecting eggs, monitoring nests or seeing hatchlings get safely to sea. This is your chance to connect with nature, learn about marine life, and leave a legacy for the environment and future generations!
