This is the place to go if you want to experience life in a Malay village and volunteer for a good cause. I have to agree that the routine and village work are challenging but with a positive mindset makes all the difference! The facilities are very basic, shared accommodation with bathroom, duties of gardening and composting are shared out... More

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.

Me and my girlfriend volunteered here for a week. It was a great experience teaching the kids English and also the women at the bakery, this is what made the whole experience. Im shocked noone else has said anything bad. When it came to planning the lessons Sehling and Natalie would ask us for ideas, when we gave these Ideas... More

I volunteered on the Perhentian Islands with Ecoteer a few months ago and had the time of my life!

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

An wonderful trip as I was given a chance to learn more about marine conservation and the amount of awareness of promoting sustainable travel. The food was great and the staff was helpful and nice... The trip was a life changing and hopefully I would involve in other voluntary work..

Its such a lovely place to visit..those moments spend in the island is memorable for all us especially with Ecoteer guys who assisted us all day long. Be prepared to get wet, dirt and finally dont forget to Jetty Jump.......the local food are delicious and spicy though...& please dont throw rubbish@plastic bags into the sea....
