I had the most incredible time on my trip with IVHQ.
Everything was well-organised and I felt supported throughout. I felt that it was all worth the money and was by far the cheapest volunteer program out there!
I was able to learn so much when volunteering with the turtles and was trusted by the co-ordinators to work independently, but they were there for support if I needed it!
I cannot fault my time volunteering with IVHQ and will be using them again and sharing them with anyone else wanting an adventure!

The experience was beyond AMAZING.Everything from the atmosphere to the co-ordinators.They really put effort in to making the experience as easy and comfortable as possible.The teaching program was perfect and I would recommend this to anyone.The team lead of the organisation will help you on every thing you need, transport, food requirements and even visas.The actual village you volunteer in isn’t close to volunteering spots however the organisation is flexible with taking time off etc to do as you please.

It wasn't my first experience on a volunteering trip, and it certainly wouldn't be my last. I thought I was prepared for what was to come based on past experiences but my time at Hua Hin proved to be a whole new adventure - in the best way...
I embarked on this project as a trial as I was considering a career switch in teaching English. The experience I gained and the lessons I learned were priceless! Through this project, I am now more assured than ever that this is the right step for me. This wasn't just a break from the mundane back home, this was an important step for my growth.
Additionally, I never expected to form such strong bonds and attachments to the beautiful volunteers I met during my 2 weeks in Hua Hin. We may have parted ways for now but I believe for some, we will meet again in the near future.
I highly recommend anyone considering this project. It will not always be easy but I promise you, it will be worth it.

That was my first volunteering experience and my first time as solo traveler, it was such an amazing experience,it said that the best way to find urself is to lose urself in the service of others .. well that is so true , the locals appreciated what we do and i was thankful that i’ve had the opportunity to open up to new culture , trying new food , learn new skills , make new friends, discover more about myself and of course HAVE FUN !! .. and I’m looking forward my next volunteering experience with ivhq

This wolf conservation program was a fantastic experience I would never miss a chance to do again. The accommodation provided was a cosy wooden cabin in the middle of the forest, surrounded by the enclosures of the nine Iberian wolves we were conserving. The staff were incredible, and working with them, and my fellow volunteers was an absolute joy. Meeting amazing people with the same passion for protecting wildlife as I do was such a wonder. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the scenery around us was always breathtaking. We were surrounded by 16 acres of woodland, allowing for lovely hikes in our free time. I feel so lucky to have been able to feed and observe such beautiful creatures and capture such footage in camera traps and on our personal phones. The work experience included a lot of manual labour, such as cutting up the meat for the wolves, clearing up leaves and twigs on the forest floor, removing unwanted weeds, and working with cement to reconstruct the enclosures. It was demanding work, but it was well worth it. The friendships and memories with the wonderful people I met will never leave my side.
