Once-in-a-lifetime experience
The pre-departure information sessions were excellent, providing clear and thorough guidance. Having access to staff both in Australia and at the destination made it easy to have questions answered promptly, which was greatly appreciated. The level of planning, organisation, and attention to detail gave me strong confidence in the care and supervision provided for the children.
The trip itself was outstanding, and the duty of care met all expectations. I felt very comfortable entrusting my son to Projects Abroad.
I would highly recommend Projects Abroad. It was truly a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience for my son, who also had the opportunity to build lasting friendships with participants from around the world.

Summer in Nepal
Our daughter had a truly wonderful experience with Project Abroad in Nepal. The program was very well organized, and beyond the volunteering aspect, it was an incredibly enriching human and cultural experience for her. She became deeply engaged in the project, gained confidence and maturity, and connected with students from many different countries and backgrounds.

Thailand trip of lifetime for marine conservation
Our son went to Thailand for the diving and marine conservation from Australia and the service which started before the trip until he got home was nothing short of amazing. He was well looked after by the staff, airlines and hotel, with projects abroad making it all seamless. As a parent, projects abroad was amazing and they gave him the experience of a lifetime.

great experience in Kenya for my 16 years old
my daughter (16 y.o.) had a fantastic experience in Kenya, helping to renovate a school classroom in a poor neighbourhood and keeping kids entertained in English in afternoon. She was part of a group of 6, they were all hosted within one big family house. A lifetime experience ! I strongly recommend.

He thoroughly enjoyed the animal interactions and meeting new kids his age with similar interests.
During his time in the Galapagos, he became ill and the PA team did an excellent job taking care of him and keeping us updated at home.

Hi Nalinie,
Thank you so much for sharing Dylan’s experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that he had such a great time in the Galapagos connecting with the local wildlife and bonding with other volunteers who share his passions. We also truly appreciate you mentioning the support he received when he wasn't feeling his best. We know how stressful it can be for parents when their child is miles away from home, it makes us so glad he felt looked after and that we could keep you updated every step of the way.
It sounds like he’s walked away with some fantastic memories and new friendships. Thank you for trusting Projects Abroad with his adventure!
My time working in the Philippines was…
My time working in the Philippines was an incredible experience and a true blessing. Getting to know the families of San Remigio was deeply rewarding, and while the assignment was challenging, I wouldn’t change a single thing about it.
A huge part of my success was thanks to the Projects Abroad Coordinator, Janely. She is an absolute rockstar and an incredible mentor who pushed me out of my comfort zone, helping me achieve so much in such a short time. Additionally, the host family I stayed with has become like my own; I’ve established lifelong friendships that I will always treasure.
Between the rich culture, the warm people, and the delicious Filipino cuisine, I fell in love with the country. Living in Bogo was a major highlight, and having pristine beaches and perfect weather nearby was the cherry on top. I would do this all over again in a heartbeat!

Hi Jose,
Reading your review brought a huge smile to our entire team’s faces! We are so incredibly happy to hear that your teaching program in the Philippines was such a rewarding and life-changing experience for you. It’s wonderful that you felt so welcomed by the families in San Remigio. We truly believe that the heart of our programs lies in those personal connections. We’ll be sure to pass your ""rockstar"" shout-out along to Janely, she is indeed a vital part of our team, and she’ll be thrilled to know she helped you step out of your comfort zone and achieve your goals.
Thank you for your hard work and for sharing your journey with us. We’d love to have you back in the field whenever you’re ready for your next adventure!
I had previous experience in Mexico…
I had previous experience in Mexico with this company so felt confident booking for the Galapagos Islands.
From being collected from the airport to being delivered back for the return flight I couldnt fault the staff or the company. I would however recommend completing all the online courses before leaving as your expectations must be in line with where you are going. Understanding local customs and way of life is vital for your enjoyment.
I have met some amazing people an im still in contact with a few special ones. The volunteering element though sometimes hard work (depending what you've signed up for of course) but there is loads of free time to explore this amazing planet of ours.

It was such a pleasure having you join us again! Thank you for choosing Projects Abroad for your second programme; there’s nothing we love more than seeing a familiar face take on a new corner of the world.
We are delighted that our local team helped make your journey smooth and well supported from arrival to departure. Your advice about completing the online preparation courses beforehand is especially valuable. Taking the time to understand local customs, expectations, and daily life can make such a meaningful difference to the overall experience, and we appreciate you highlighting this for future participants. It’s also heartening to hear you’ve made lasting friendships; those ""special ones"" often become the best part of the journey!
Safe travels on your next adventure, and hopefully, we’ll see you for a third project somewhere else in the world!
The first overseas extracurricular activity
This was the first overseas extracurricular activity that my son researched on his own and said he wanted to challenge himself by participating in. At the time, Cambodia was experiencing political instability, so I hesitated to send my son there alone. However, thanks to the support of everyone at your company, he was able to gain valuable experience that will be helpful in considering his future path.
Being able to work in a developing country together with members of different nationalities also deepened his understanding of multicultural coexistence. Since returning home, I truly feel that my son has grown compared to before he joined the project.
Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Mr. Naoki.
We are honored that Sora chose our medical internship in Cambodia as his first solo overseas challenge! It is wonderful to hear that the support he received allowed him to gain such valuable experience. We are particularly glad that working alongside international teammates helped deepen his understanding of multicultural coexistence, a skill that will surely serve him well in his future. Learning about the growth in Sora since his return is the greatest reward for us.
Thank you for trusting us with his journey!
Tanzania at its best
My 16-year-old daughter had a wonderful and eventful time in Tanzania. She got to see so much, benefited from the rich culture and had the chance to interact daily with peers her own age. She felt well looked after and supported throughout her stay. Even now, a year after her trip, she still speaks very highly of her experience with Project Abroad.

Oustanding experience
Everything was well planned and well followed. I'd say: "easy to use". Full support of the supervisor and from all others part of the Team. A succesfull and enjoyable experience for my 16 year old daugther.

Life changing tour…
My son did the marine conservation tour in Thailand for 2 weeks over July. It was life changing. He has the most incredible experience not only with the diving and conservation work but meeting like-minded young people from all around the world many of whom he is still in contact with. Projects Abroad did an excellent job with the communication and planning of the trip and I felt very comfortable that all the kids were in good hands on the trip. Thank you.

Hi Jackie,
Thank you so much for sharing Thomas’s experience! We are delighted to hear that his two weeks in Thailand were truly life-changing.
It’s wonderful that he not only contributed to vital marine conservation but also built lasting global friendships along the way. Knowing he felt empowered and you felt at ease with the planning means the world to us. We can’t wait to see where his passion for the ocean takes him next!
Very impressed
I found projects abroad to be very a professional and trustworthy company. My son had an issue with his luggage and staff were straight onto it and helped him get it all sorted. There was ALWAYS someone with the kids and they made sure they were comfortable. You are always able to contact them should you have any concerns. I was very happy with their services across the board, so much so that my son is travelling with them again this year.

Hi Jenn, thank you so much for sharing!
We’re thrilled to hear that Eleanor had such a meaningful time in Argentina. It’s wonderful that she’s still in touch with her host family—those connections are truly the heart of the experience.
We truly appreciate your recommendation, as it helps other families feel confident in choosing us for their own adventures. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to our local team!
The Galápagos conservation project was a unique and rewarding experience, giving me a strong sense of purpose by contributing, even in a small way, to protecting our planet.
The organization of the project was very good, including the support from the Destination expert from the moment of expressing interest through arrival at the destination and throughout the project implementation. Receiving timely and precise information on all questions before arrival — such as accommodation, weather conditions, and other details — was very important for me.
This strong support was one of the decisive factors in my final decision to apply for the project, but also to organize myself in efficient way, minimizing the risk to overlook something important.
Furthermore, the good organization and support at the destination allowed me to fully participate in project activities without having to worry about logistical matters.
Finally, it was possible to combine scheduled project activities with private activities during free time in a meaningful and well-balanced way.

Chitwan National Park
My son and I took a holiday and volunteered at the Chitwan National Park, Nepal which was a wonderful experience. Projects Abroad were brilliant. Their communication, planning and organising were fantastic, from the start of our inquiry into booking, our arrival at the airport in Nepal, to our departure. Our assigned guides even assisted us with ideas and bookings for our weekends when we were not volunteering. I would highly recommend Projects Abroad if you are looking for a holiday or experience abroad. We look forward to our next experience with Projects Abroad in the future.
