Trip to Monkey and Baboon Rehabilitation Centre with Oyster
We found and booked a volunteering trip with oyster and they made the whole process very easy There was support from beginning to end of our trip - and lots of well-received help when we had to postpone our original trip for one year When we had questions in the run up to the trip Georgie at oyster answered promptly and with lots of detail We would highly recommended if you re planning that type of trip for the first time

Portugal Construction
I find its bad to go into something with too many expectations but the Portugal constructions met my expectations pretty dead on You work for half the day and are free to explore the city the other half The Hostel you are located at is very friendly helpful and has a great laid back vibe Met great other volunteers there and made cool memoriesJune 2019 - 2 weeks

Southeast Asia tour
Although we were not able to go away with oyster due to covid their programme was very well structured and covered a range of activities Georgie has been so helpful and reassuring throughout the process and the company put our safety first by cancelling the tour and issuing a full refund Could not recommend them enough hopefully will be able to rebook something with them after the pandemic

Wonderful Vacation Volunteer Travel
I had a wonderful trip through Oyster I can t speak to all the trips they run but I worked on a reforestation wildlife project and it was wonderful I would highly recommend it for those who want to see a country and volunteer while traveling Although the trip gets most of my praise Oyster was easy to work with and responsive I wish I could go back tomorrow and will remember this vacation forever

Amazing experience
This was my first time doing any sort of independent travelling so I was pretty nervous beforehand - but Oyster provided me with so much support making sure that I had nothing to worry about I was volunteering at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand for 4 weeks followed by a 2 week tour of Thailand Laos and Vietnam Everything went perfectly thanks to the help I received from Oyster so I highly recommend them I will definitely be looking to travel with them again in the future Special thanks to Anne Sarah and John

Would definitely recommend
I had an amazing experience volunteering at Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Romania It was a dream come true to see the bears being given a second chance by a charity that clearly cares about their welfare My project manager Razvan was very helpful and attentive all round a great guy

Made life long friends and memories
I took the CVNZ conservation trip to New Zealand for two weeks and I wish I stayed longer I loved every moment especially the conservation The people that I met on my short time on the trip became a little Nz family to me and I m very sad to be going The work was rewarding fast paced at some points tricky and exhausting but the team makes it fun The other activities and fun days we also did make it completely worth it Living in a house with just other volunteers was daunting at first but it was a really fantastic expensive and i have made some lifelong friends and memories We got our weekends and evenings off to head to local places and sights and really got to feel like locals Many thanks for all your help Oyster
