Oyster Worldwide Arvostelua 

the experince was fantastic and the location was amazing. the staff were amazing and made life easy to book the experience and the helper at romania was nice kind and alway available if i struggled or needed assistance in a situation

I did the Romania - Volunteer with Bears trip. I travelled solo.
Before the trip the information supplied by Oyster was useful and I frequently referred to it - actions needed, what to take, info re trip etc. Oyster also quickly, and helpfully answered the email queries I had, including re-arranging things when my flights changed.
In Romania the Oyster Representative was supportive, friendly and quick to resolve an issue that arose. He really upgraded the experience.
The bears were numerous and awe inspiring, the staff at the Sanctuary were friendly and lovely.
Brasov is a beautiful city, and felt very safe. Lots to see and do there.
A life enhancing experience I will never forget!

Oyster ensured our son’s Canadian experience was the perfect combination of freedom, accountability, responsibility, fun, hard work and support. The interview process through to landing psychically on-the-ground ready to work was streamlined, transparent, honest and caring. We could not recommend Oyster as a company highly enough. It was the right choice for our son to experience independence with the professional guidance of the Oyster team.

I would 100% recommend the ski season in Whistler with Oyster if you are looking for an unforgettable experience away from home. Making friends was the easiest part of the experience as you travel with the Oyster team, giving yourself built-in friends for the rest of the season. Additionally, our rep Nicky and program director Sami organised monthly socials for us, so having a community and making friends is definitely not something you need to worry about! Overall, I had a fantastic season full of skiing, friendship and teaching the cutest kids how to ski. I would do it time and time again if I could, so be prepared to want to stay!!

I had great experience booking with Oyster worldwide. I have booked to go to Thailand to volunteer at an elephant sanctuary. I was nervous but Kate was very supportive and answered any questions I had. Which there was many.
I love the my oyster log in. You get so much information and makes me feel truly prepared for my trip. Thank you for your support.

I stayed for a month and loved every minute! The staff are amazing, the animals are incredible, the food was delicious! I can’t wait to come back to Thailand sometime soon. Thank you again for this experience.

We have just had the most incredible experience volunteering at a wildlife sanctuary in Ecuador! Oyster Worldwide was endlessly helpful right from the get go with reassuring and consistent communication. We felt very looked after and in safe hands - thank you!

I booked to volunteer in Thailand through Oysterworldwide and they were absolutely fantastic through every step. From making booking the trip so easy to supporting me whenever I was there, I would highly recommend Oysterworldwide to anyone!

I joined the Wildlife Conservation in South Africa, Port Elizabeth at 17 years old and had an amazing experience! The staff were all very helpful in settling you in and I met people from all over the world across different age groups and really bonded with everyone during my short stay there! Definitely something you can go do alone (like I did) or go with a friend!

My daughter arranged her Gold D of E Residential through Oyster, and they were brilliant. Communication was fab throughout, and the trip was a huge success! Great opportunities for young people!

Georgie, The Director of Operations has terrible customer service. She confirmed a meeting with me over WhatsApp, On the day of the meeting she asked if we could meet earlier, I confirmed and then she said she wasn’t available. Then she she wasn’t ready in time for our original time, did not give me any information on how to reach her on WhatsApp. She emails me 20 minutes after the meeting was supposed to start telling me she didn’t have WhatsApp, then called me and proceeded to question me as to why I couldn’t use a phone and had to use WhatsApp, and then hung up on me, after I tried explaining it, I called back only to be told by her Assistant that she wasn’t available. THEN Georgie emails me saying that because I was dismissive and confused as to what was going on after waiting over an hour for a meeting , she informed me that I was ineligible due to my response ( my responses being why am I being ran around all morning when we originally agreed on a time and method). She BLAMES ME for her inability to be present and available at the agreed time. I tried escalating my issue to the CEO only to be turned away again. ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE. She does not respect your time or needs and believes that she is entitled to decide on your ability to impress your future employers. I have been in the service industry for over 10 years and never have I questioned my clients needs or not respected their time. This woman needs to get off her high horse and be more professional.

My 17 year old son had an amazing time in Ecuador! I was very nervous about him traveling alone, but all the directions and correspondence was amazing from start to finish. He loved the experience and is thinking about doing it again. I felt he was well taken care of, the directions were great and Kate Tipler my contact at Oyster was always very responsive and top of it. The person who picked him up at the airport was wonderful about sending me pics of him which I didn't expect and loved. He loved the experience of being there and met wonderful friends from around the world. Highly recommend!

The team at Oyster made my experience so smooth and memorable. Firstly, they gave me all the info about my trip beforehand so I could adequately prepare. They kept in contact with me throughout, if I had any questions. I had such an amazing and unforgettable experience in Barcelona with the cats, Thank you so much!

I had the greatest time in costa rica volunteering with turtles. They provided everything i needed and looked after me thoroughly while i was with them. Incredible experience and would definitely recommend.

Had a great time working with horses in Croatia. Everybody involved was really kind and helpful, and the trip went smoothly. It was also very helpful that this could be done as a DofE Residential, and Oyster have been helpful in getting back to us with Assessor’s reports.

My daughter booked a weeks volunteering in South Africa for her Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. Oyster were fantastic throughout, providing all the information, ensuring we had everything completed and the experience was excellent. Thank you Kate and Georgie, highly recommend.

Our daughter has just started in Whistler as a (trainee) ski instructor via oysterworldwide.com. We can't speak highly enough of the support given throughout the application process both to parents and applicant. The onsite Whistler support has also been fantastic with every detail thought of from social security numbers, to fabulous ski equipment discounts, social events and bank accounts. Our daughter is having a fantastic time with support when required. Reports of the quality of instruction are also very good. Fingers crossed for the exam this week and more snow to fall! Would happily recommend using oysterworldwide.com

I have recently received my second working holiday visa after having an incredible first year in Australia. I was very lucky to have the opportunity to work at a pre-training farm in Sydney which was set up by Georgie which gained me invaluable experience. This was followed by travelling up the East Coast with one of my closet friends who I met at the job. We visited around 10 different places up the coast and it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I had so much fun, made so many friends and incredible memories all whilst discovering lots of beautiful places that Australia has to offer. I will never forget the memories that I made during that time. This opportunity that Georgie and Oyster provided me has allowed me to find a job myself in another pre-training yard where I am living the dream. I have been very lucky to receive lots of training from my boss on one of her retired racehorses in preparation to start riding the pre-trainers. I am so grateful to Georgie and the team who have allowed me to turn what was once a dream into my everyday reality.

Information and responses to questions are all easy to understand and plentiful. Communication very good. Programme was excellent.

UK team exceptionally helpful and responsive from beginning to end. The team in Thailand were amazing too and the whole experience was beyond my imagination
