From the moment I arrived in Guatemala, I was made to feel very welcome. As a result, I plan to return next year with GVI, because once you discover them, it’s hard to want to go through anyone else.

It’s always incredible to see dolphins in their natural environment, performing peduncle dives, tail dives, belly ups and bow riding.

This place is amazing if you want to see unseen Thailand as well as actually making a difference I would definitely suggest GVI in Ao Luk.

Sally Turnham and Tom Heron, East Lothian, United Kingdom

Did we enjoy it? Absolutely.
Would we do it again? You bet.
Would we recommend it? Without doubt.

I decided to go to Guatemala because of my daughter Candice’s experience with GVI and her involvement in the Stove Project.

The time I spent on the project in Ecuador was absolutely amazing and without doubt the most immensely interesting, challenging, rewarding and valuable experience of my relatively short life.

Now, I proudly recommend GVI to anyone interested in enriching their lives through volunteering, and am looking forward to returning to South America to work with GVI once again.
