Imagine spending three weeks volunteering in the stunning region of West Sumatra. You'll contribute to both the local community and the environment while immersing yourself in a culture known for its warmth and hospitality. Everything is organised for you, departure dates are fixed, and you can even travel alongside other volunteers. A journey filled with purpose, adventure and new friendships, ready to create memories that will stay with you for a lifetime?
Be part of an inspiring experience where you can make a genuine difference.
You'll contribute to two incredible projects. Support a local education program in a welcoming village or help protect sea turtles along the coastline. You'll also take part in coral reef restoration activities, helping to preserve the region's unique marine environment.
Every day brings something different, from working alongside local communities to learning more about sustainability, conservation and life in rural Indonesia.
Alongside your volunteer work, you'll have plenty of opportunities to experience the island for yourself.
Spend evenings relaxing under the stars, take walks along the coast, and discover hidden corners of West Sumatra. If you're looking for a little more adventure, you can visit Air Manis Beach for a surf session or explore the local culture and surrounding landscapes.
There's no pressure and no packed schedule, it's all about finding the right balance between giving back and making the most of your experience.
This isn't a journey you'll experience alone.
You'll be part of a close knit group of volunteers from around the world, sharing experiences, challenges and unforgettable moments together. Working, exploring and living alongside like minded people often leads to friendships that last long after the trip ends.
It's a chance to step outside your comfort zone, grow in confidence and be part of something bigger than yourself.
This 21 day trip is the perfect mix of volunteering, adventure, culture and surfing.

At DO MORE TRAVEL, we believe it's important to keep both young travellers and parents well informed. We understand there are often plenty of questions before departure, and we're here to help every step of the way.
Support before and during the trip
Our youth trips are supported by experienced group leaders and trusted local guides. Before departure, you'll have the opportunity to meet the group and trip leaders during an online introduction session. Throughout the journey, our team and local partners are there to provide guidance and support whenever needed.
Our local guides have extensive experience working with international volunteers and speak fluent English, helping participants feel comfortable and confident from the moment they arrive.
Preparation and information
Before departure, you'll receive a detailed information pack covering the itinerary, volunteer project, destination, culture and practical travel tips. It also includes everything you need to organise before leaving.
Our Australian-based team is always available via phone or email to answer any questions before departure.
Meet your fellow travellers
A few weeks before departure, we host an online information session where participants can meet each other, learn more about the trip and ask any final questions.
Flights
We will endeavour to get the group on the same flights where possible and can recommend suitable flight options to help make this happen. However, travellers are also welcome to book their own flights independently if they prefer.
Once you register for a DO MORE TRAVEL youth trip and submit your confirmation form, a $850 deposit is required within three weeks to secure your place.
The remaining balance is typically due around six weeks before departure, giving you plenty of time to prepare for the adventure ahead.
Safety is one of our highest priorities. We stay in regular contact with our trusted local partners in every destination where DO MORE TRAVEL operates, ensuring we remain up to date with local conditions and any important developments.
Every destination has its own cultural expectations and local guidelines. We make sure these are clearly communicated to both participants and parents before departure so everyone feels informed, prepared and confident for the journey ahead.
At DO MORE TRAVEL, we understand that travelling overseas can be exciting for young travellers and parents alike. We want to reassure you that your son or daughter is in good hands. Our team is there to ensure every participant feels safe, supported and well looked after from the moment they sign up until they return home.
For added peace of mind, we provide a 24/7 emergency contact number and stay in regular contact with our local teams throughout the trip. We also share updates during the journey so parents can stay informed about the group's experiences and activities.
With more than 20 years of experience organising youth travel and volunteer programs around the world, you can trust that we do everything possible to make each trip a safe, rewarding and memorable experience. Through careful preparation, experienced support and trusted local partnerships, we create an environment where young travellers can confidently embrace the adventure ahead.
