Travelteer Recensioni 

Coast 2 coast was amazing (would definitely recommend). Staff and accommodation were excellent as well as the food on site. Overall a great experience and I would have stayed for longer if I could.

Shoutout to the coordinator Eddie who set the relaxed tone for the coast to coast tour. Unforgettable experience and a great way to start volunteering.

Had an amazing week on the Coast to Coast Tour doing activities such as:
- Climbing Sigriya rock
- Jeep safari seeing lots of elephants and water buffalos
- Wood carving factory visit
- Tea factory visit
- Spice garden tour
- Train ride to Ella
- Climbing Pidurangala rock
- Climbing Ella rock (a personal favourite)
- Snorkelling
- Temple visit
- Silk shop visit to try on saris
- Visit the Nine Arch Bridge
- Royal botanical garden visit
- Surf lesson
The tour was very structured but you had free time in the evening to go for drinks or look around. I thought there was a perfect balance of activities and free time.
The staff, Ruchi, Nalin and Eddie, were all super friendly, welcoming and answered any concerns we had. They made sure everyone was comfortable with and prepared for the activities.
Three meals a day were included but you are expected to cover the cost of drinks including water. We ate meals such as kottu, curry, pasta, pizza and fried rice so a real variety each day. Your meals are predetermined and you do not choose what you eat but they cater to dietary requirements and we were also given the option to pay for ourselves and go elsewhere for food if we fancied something different that day. Quite a few meals were also buffet so you can pick and choose what you would like.
The accommodation were shared rooms in hotels (2/3 people per room), many of which were very nice rooms and had pools which was a nice touch.
I would highly recommend this tour. It allowed me to see areas outside of Hikkaduwa that I wouldn’t have otherwise been able to fit in alongside my volunteering. Things at the main villa can be very chilled and relaxed while volunteering which is lovely but this made a nice change as it was a lot more active and social.

I was here for 6 weeks, and did both English and sports development, I enjoyed teaching the children and getting involved in the sports. As I was here in quiet season I was able to do a bit of marine as well, helping out with the turtles which was also a great experience. The staff are amazing, the accommodation is clean and accommodating, although we were told to begin with that it would be right next to the beach, but is in fact a 10 minute tuk tuk away, the Sri Lankan food made by the chef was delicious so overall would highly recommend, was an incredible experience

i had an incredible experience with travel teer. The staff were so kind and friendly, the villa was always clean and tidy, nice big bedrooms/bathrooms and lovely sri lankan style food served monday to friday. The volunteering was well thought out and organised with enough time in our lunches to explore hikkaduwa. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

My time with Travelteer was incredible. They provided invaluable assistance in planning my journey. I spent an unforgettable 4 weeks in Sri Lanka. I'm looking forward to another adventure with them in Vietnam next summer.

My travelteer experience has been extremely. My guides were Emily and Chan who were very organised and fun to be around my favourite part of the trip was the turtles and cleaning out their tanks

I had a really good 4 weeks in Sri Lanka with Travelteer. I would say on the sports development program there was a good balance between sports and ground renovation which helped the community and disadvantaged children in Hikkaduwa.
My coordinator Sula was very helpful and friendly and made the experience fulfilling.
Would definitely recommend to anyone interested.

Just finished an amazing 4-week volunteering trip to Sri Lanka with Travelteer, working on both the Medical and Marine Conservation programmes. I gained hands-on experience in healthcare, helped protect marine life, and explored the country. Huge thanks to the Travelteer team and coordinators for making it all so meaningful and unforgettable — I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a rewarding and inspiring adventure!

My group leaders, Rebecca and Jamal were absolutely lovely people and helped make the trip run smoothly.

The Travelteer Nepal project has truly been a life-changing experience. The Peaks to Peaks tour, led by Wangda, offered a rich journey through the country’s culture—ranging from architectural tours and museums to safari excursions and treks in the mountainous regions. The itinerary struck a great balance between structured activities and free time.
The volunteering element was equally eye-opening, guided by Sakina and Snigda. It gave us the chance to build meaningful connections with locals and gain insight into their way of life. From an educational perspective, we explored the differences and challenges between state and private schooling, while also identifying infrastructural needs such as building new classrooms and bamboo greenhouses.
A special thanks goes to Paula from Travelteer, who did an outstanding job in organising the trip. She not only ensured everything ran smoothly but also joined in the activities, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere while managing any challenges with professionalism.

I’m having the best time!! Emily and Chan are lovely and really good fun. The whole group is enjoying ourselves so much don’t want it to end!

Every part of the trip to Morocco was a great experience with the variety of opportunities not many others get. Our trip coordinator, Liz and our in- country support was amazing making sure we were always okay and had things like water consistently

I’ve just spent 4weeks in Sri Lanka and my what an incredible experience it has been. By my university providing me with the opportunity to go to a new country in Asia for the first time, funding and through an experienced company.

Firstly, about Sri Lanka, such a beautiful, lush green country. Waking up to palm trees and peacocks! The friendliest of people (mostly) and the coordinators (Sula, Umesha, Dilanka) I thank you for being so welcoming and kind when doing the volunteering aspect.

When it comes to the Travelteer accommodation, organisation and logistics. I have to say it wasnt the finest from arriving at around 10PM at night in Sri Lanka, I was expecting to just go straight to the accommodation but no… I got delivered to a restaurant with all my luggage and exhausted. Plus no food is provided at the accommodation on Sunday. So if you’re arriving later like I did bring some noodles or something. My first impression of this organisation was not the best.

Plus, my programme in general wasn’t was i thought it was due to the Travelteer website and how it actually is in Sri Lanka expressing a bit of misinformation. For instance how there would be a launderette on site (not true) and breakfast is provided on weekends (true, but you make it yourself) but a bit of misunderstanding on the website.

I did the sports programme and it was fun as in the afternoon you get to have a good sweat sesh with the children when playing sports! In the mornings you’re painting. Though it does get tedious after doing the same thing for a week and sometimes I feel I’m not making much of impact as I thought I would be doing SPORTS DEVELOPMENT. I honestly thought I’ll be coaching, teaching new sports or doing a good ole sports day with the fundraising money we all gave to the charity to help fund new equipment for these kind of activities.
I’ll be honest I’m not so sure where my fundraising money goes as I haven’t seen where it has gone to within sports but hopefully it does eventually.

Would I recommend - Yes for the experience in a new country and basically fully funded from the Turing Scheme if a Uni Student. Plus it’ll look go on the CV.
Be aware you may need more money for spending and weekend activities.

Thank you!

I joined Travelteer for a charity challenge and had the opportunity to explore the beautiful country of Sri Lanka. From start to finish, the team—both in the UK and on the ground in Sri Lanka—were absolutely outstanding. They took care of every detail, from ensuring we felt safe and supported, to organising fun activities and providing amazing local food. It was a truly rewarding and amazing experience that I’ll never forget!
Big shout out to Laurence, Lawrence and Ruchi who made the trip seamless from start to finish.

I had the best experience with Travelteer. They helped me so much to prepare for my trip. I went to Sri Lanka for 4 weeks and it was honestly amazing. I will be joining them again in Vietnam next summer.

Credit card fee's on top of an already overpriced trip. My daughter had signed up to a Sri Lanka trip through school. The Trip itself is expensive, i recently travelled to Thailand with my 2 daughters, so 3 of us (including food, activities similar to the travelteer trip, etc) for the same price of this trip. To add insult to injury, i wanted to pay an instalment by credit card and the only option they gave me was to pay over the phone with a 2.5% charge, disgusting! These 'for profit' corporations and the banks made enough off of us already! Shame on them.

Let’s start at the beginning, since we got picked up by Liz at our school, Liz was welcoming and approachable from the start. Throughout this experience I have loved every second (sure at times we might have not been able to stick to the itinerary- but the spontaneity was accepted with open arms and made the trip flow better). Furthermore, I appreciate the opportunity this has given me, for example I was able to see into the lives of the people living in the Atlas Mountains, and how they are enthusiastic towards education, also I enjoyed learning simple phrases in Arabic from our tour guide Jamal. Finally, being able to stay under the stars within the Sahara Desert was extraordinary, and the feeling of wholesomeness and fulmiment I received when giving to the community was undefinable. I would recommend this experience to anyone willing to put in the effort throughout the process as although this was mentally (seeing the hardships people face) and physically ( trekking, etc…) demanding I would not have asked for any other experience.

Had a great time. The trip we made by travel coordinator Lizzie and tour guide Jamal! Overall a really rewarding trip and an incredible experience.

Was so good!!!!!! Loved the volunteering and had such a wonderful time . (Can I get my free dessert now?)
