Volunteer project in the bird sanctuary on Nusa Penida

During your stay you will live in an accommodation with shared rooms. These are fitted with western style bathrooms. There is no warm water, but that is not needed given the high temperatures. The rooms also have a fan and WiFi.

Outside the accommodation there is a communal kitchen with a stove and fridge where you can cook together with the other volunteers.

If you want to go shopping, you will find small shops and food stalls along the main street. You can reach it on foot in about 15 minutes and by car in about 10 minutes. Or you can visit the food market, which is about 20 minutes away by car.

Nusa Penida, also called the blue paradise, is an island southeast of Bali and can be reached by speedboat from Bali's ports of Sanur, Serangan or Padang Bai. The island is about 20 km long and 12 km wide and only sparsely populated. The two main towns of Toyapakeh and Sampalan are located in the north of the island.

Nusa Penida impresses above all with its nature. The cliffs and cliffs, the endless white sandy beaches and the crystal clear, deep blue water leave no doubt that Nusa Penida is undeniably a true paradise. No wonder that the island is very popular with diving tourists.

But not only the underwater world of Nusa Penida convinces, there is also a lot going on in the air. There is a bird sanctuary on the island, which focuses, among other things, on the protection of bali stars. The rare bird was originally discovered in Bali and introduced to Nusa Penida as part of a reintroduction program.

Explore the diverse nature of the island

In your free time you can experience a lot on Nusa Penida. For example, after your day at work you can visit the small shops and food stalls that are located on the main street. It takes about 15 minutes to walk there. A visit to the food market is also recommended and is only around 20 minutes away by car. There you will find delicious, local dishes and fresh groceries at reasonable prices.

There is also an imported goods store and gym where you can work out just 15 minutes away by car. If you want to eat out or visit a café, you will find what you are looking for on the main street about 10-20 minutes from the complex. They even have Western cuisine if you ever miss the food at home.

On your days off, if you have a little more time, a trip to the beautiful beaches of Nusa Penida is worthwhile. The closest beach can be reached within 10 minutes by car. Other popular destinations such as Kelingking Beach, Crystal Bay, Broken Beach etc. are approximately 30-45 minutes drive from the resort.

If you would like to take part in a sightseeing tour, this is also possible on request. Just approach our local RGV team and they will be happy to help you.

During the day it is not a problem to explore the area alone. For safety reasons, however, you should not do this at night. In general it is also better to explore the island by car or scooter together with the other volunteers. There is only limited public transport.
