What Our Guest Say...

Being on the island has felt like a dream. If you're ever lucky enough to visit this place, let yourself be guided by Monica, a diehard lady with the biggest heart and respect for nature and the ecosystem surrounding her.

She and Anuar thought me what it takes to live in the wild. Not always comfortable, but ever so rewarding.

The result of their hard work is a beautiful campsite which respects and protects the surroundings. I got to enjoy the beautiful reef, the many many tropical fish, and the jungle wildlife (including monkeys and wild chickens!)

Above all, if you show your willingness to work and to learn, you will become part of the family and make friends for life.

Thanks again for letting me experience life on this beautiful spot, Mon ❤️. Hope to be back very soon to visit you and my coral babies!

Already passed some time since I was volunteering in Ocean Quest camp, but every day I remember and try to share with others my beautiful experience there and what I learned. Monica warmly welcomed me in KK, I got trainings there, then we left to the island where I sped most of my time. Waking up with the most beautiful sunrise wasn't even the best thing... I learned so much not only about coral propagation, but also how to survive in nature and new crafts: carving totems, new recipes, how to protect our food from monkeys, where to get water, how to climb trees, build houses, ect... Since I came and when I left I think the island changed a lot and I believe it will only be changing more for good! I had many lessons in one month and I will carry this experience forever. I miss being around all those nice people that made me feel like I have a family there!

Thanks to Monica I also finished my SSI open water diving certificate so I wasn't afraid to dive and see the underwater world again in another country.

Miss you and Love you my 1OE family and hope to see you again soon!
