Bali Volunteer Programs from $26/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

I traveled to the island of Bali in Indonesia to volunteer with IVHQ. The experience was wonderful. Each staff member at our location in Ubud was helpful and kind. I was able to participate in an introductory week, where I had the opportunity to participate in cultural activities. My location was in a village, which was wonderful for the cultural experience, but in the future, I would like to try to stay in a location that is closer to the main town, just for ease of getting to activities and seeing sights. A free shuttle service is provided by the on-site team going into town 4 days per week, so this was helpful. I had a wonderful time volunteering as a teacher at a local kindergarten, while the students happened to be preparing for end-of-year ceremonies, which is in alignment with my career in education and the performing arts.

I spent 2 weeks in Nusa Penida at the turtle conservation, and I loved it so much. Getting to work with turtle so closely, was a once in a lifetime experience. Also the local team really made me feel at home. The coordinators made sure that everyone was having a good time.
To be honest before my trip I was a little scared, and questioned myself if I was able to do all of this. But IVHQ made sure that I was well prepared for every possible scenario.
I loved my volunteer trip. And I would for sure recommend this trip to everyone I know, because this volunteer trip was an unforgettable experience.

As a solo female traveller in my 30s and can 100% recommend this project on Nusa Penida, Bali! The co-ordinators are brilliant and do incredible work with the turtles. It was fantastic to work with the sea turtles every weekday (about 4 hours work a day) and magical to release them into the ocean. Many people there are young (18,19 on their gap years) but there were also people of varying ages and everyone was lovely. I upgraded to a private room when booking and that worked well for me. Book it, you won’t regret it!

I absolutely loved my time at Green Lion in Bali. The staff were friendly, helpful and made you feel right at home. I spent 5 weeks on the programme, and I would highly recommend the Introduction week to experience the local culture such as a cooking class & traditional batik painting. Introduction week also gave me the opportunity to bond with the other new volunteers. The food was really good, with a good choice of western and Indonesian meals, and they provided a free shuttle to ubud centre in the evenings. I taught grade 6 which was very rewarding and I enjoyed the lesson planning.
I recommend booking with IVHQ as they made my life so much easier, the documents and information they provide prior to the trip is exceptional.
Can’t wait to do it again!

2 weeks in Bali flew by like time never did. This trip was heartfelt for so many reasons. When I first arrived in Bali I did not know what to expect, the busy scenery regarding taxi drivers on the airport made me a little nervous. However I was quickly immersed in this loving culture once I met the taxi driver the company sent. Everyone in Bali was genuinely so sweet and made my time unforgettable. Especially my coordinators who are always there for you. They felt like they were my brothers and made me feel like home. So don’t let fear hold you back, that is something only in your head.

I spent 2 weeks volunteering on a Turtle Conservation project in Bali in 2023. IVHQ massively exceeded my expectations in every way. The application and pre-departure process was so well organised and IVHQ made everything so easy. The Turtle Project in Bali was phenomenal, the local team made all the volunteers feel at home, the accommodation and food was incredible and in 2 weeks I got to see baby turtles being born, clean, feed and even release turtles into the wild. It was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to everyone!

As a first-time solo traveller, the organisational tips from IVHQ were really helpful in preparing to go. The local team in Bali were very kind and accommodating. It was great to meet volunteers from all over the world, working on different projects.
The volunteer house was well equipped and clean, although the beds were a little uncomfortable and it was difficult to avoid the smell of smoke in shared outdoor spaces (often seeping into bedrooms as well). The food was varied and healthy.
I was the only person on my project and there were very few materials to work with so I had free-rein to research and plan my lessons. I learnt a lot about waste management in Bali through this process and gained valuable classroom teaching experience.
Overall, the trip allowed me to become immersed in Balinese culture in just the two weeks I was out there.
I would recommend volunteering abroad to anyone who want to learn about a different culture and to meet like-minded people.

My volunteer experience was so incredible and unforgettable all around! Everyone was super friendly and helpful while I was there & being able to give back to the community was very rewarding. The food was fabulous although it took sometime getting used to & the views and experiences overall were so beautiful. I miss it every day and I’m definitely planning on going back soon! The pros totally outweigh the very few cons, and I would definitely recommend signing up if you’re thinking about going!
