Galapagos Community & Conservation Volunteers

I arranged this adventure for my husband and 14-year-old son. This was totally out of their comfort zone, and they loved every minute of it. Due to COVID, we made a lot of changes to the travel arrangements. The team was awesome to work with. Once in Ecuador, they felt safe. Accommodations were fine and the food was delicious. They had first-hand experience interacting with those beautiful tortoises. They helped to remove endangering experiences and surveying for birds.It was a meaningful experience. Buyers beware, those tortoises loved their food and they are fast to get to it!
If you also want to tour other islands, try to add at least two weekends in between to explore the rest of this beautiful area.

Absolutely loved my time on the Galapagos Islands! Had an amazing time doing the conservation work especially the work with the tortoises. I made some great friends and got to see some of the other islands in my spare time as well. All of the team on San Cristobal are super helpful, with projects but also with fun things to do in free time and the best ways to explore some of the other islands. The host families you stay with are also super helpful and i even learnt some spanish by the end. It was hard work but ultimately worth it in the end. I would recommend this trip for anyone looking for a way to make a difference whilst also getting to experience one of the most beautiful places in the world. I stayed for 3 weeks but wish i had had the chance to stay for so much longer.
