“Jon Hodson was the person that I booked through and I have nothing but praise for him. He made the process simple and explained everything thoroughly and with patience. He was enthusiastic and made the process easy and enjoyable. The company as a whole seems to be well organised, with excellent communication between members of the team.

“Last year I went on the Thai Adventure and had an absolutely brilliant time and therefore felt gap360 were a great company to stick with. This year I did the Bali Turtle Conservation Project and was extremely disappointed. The introduction week was fun and interesting and a good chance to get to know the people I would be volunteering with. However, in the second week we moved to Nusa Penida for the turtle conservation project to begin. We were made aware the living conditions would be extremely basic and that was fine. However, they were not just basic but also unstable, horrendously dirty and generally felt quite unsafe. There was a big earthquake the day we got there, causing large cracks in the dorms walls and bamboo bunk beds that did not feel particularly safe as they were so insecure they were wobbly even without the earthquake threat. So much so, myself and a friend I made on the trip booked ourselves into a hotel for the remainder of the time we were there. I know the earthquake obviously couldn't be helped but afterwards there was no kind of measures taken to ensure the safety of all the volunteers there. Plus, gap360 themselves were uncontactable at this time when we had queries and problems that we needed help with. I understand at this point we may have been under the jurisdiction of Green Lion but when we were very scared from the earthquake and wanted to talk to someone that could help us, it was very difficult to be taken seriously by the staff of Green Lion and we wanted to talk to gap360 to find out what we needed to do if a tsunami had happened (because there was a tsunami warning put in place by the government and we had to run to the hills) in terms of worrying our passports would be damaged etc. and we needed advice from British contacts. Following the earthquake, we started our volunteering project the next day. Considering the price of this trip, I had expected to learn a lot about turtles, their habitats, their lives and the problems they face which we are trying to combat. Instead, all week, we simply took the turtles out the tank, cleaned and feed them and put them back. It was of course lovely for us to be hands on with the turtles but felt very pointless and rather than helping their cause, if anything we were hindering them from gaining survival skills because they are constantly being played with therefore in the wild it seems like they would not be able to fend for themselves. Due to the disappointment this week caused, myself and quite a few other members of the group decided to just do one week with the turtles and switch the second week to teaching or construction where we could really see we were actually making a difference rather than doing something for our own fun. I also then discovered through someone who stayed for the second week that 26 out of 30 people booked a hotel for their stay after seeing the appalling accommodation. Overall, the trip was extremely disappointing, especially considering how impressed I had been by gap360 last year with the Thai Adventure trip. The need for us at the volunteer projects very much felt more for our benefit than the animals. Or perhaps maybe just a way to get our money. I met some great people and made some great memories but as a student anyway this trip was a real treat for me and I had been saving up for a long while to be able to do it, just to be let down. I would like to know of some way I can look for some form of compensation or refund because quite frankly the trip was not worth the price we had to pay. I am so disappointed by this experience that I would now reconsider when recommending gap360 to friends compared to before when I would sing their praises”
Hi Hannah, thank you for your review. It's great to know that you had a brilliant time on our Thai Adventure last year and we are sorry to hear that you felt that this trip with us was a disappointment. Our Assistant Operations Manager will be in contact with you and we will be in contact with our in country team to get to the bottom of this.
“I have just got home from European Adventure trip. I have had the greatest summer, getting to explore new places, meet a bunch of amazing people and laugh, a lot!
Every place I visited I was able to experience something I had never done before.
Both my tour leader and driver were absolutely amazing and helped make the trip even better than I could have imagine.
I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone looking to not only have a great time and meet new people but really get to understand the incredible history Europe has to offer!”
