Tortoises and the Galapagos islands
Ratings
Review
I stayed 3weeks on Isabella volunteering in the tortoise centre.
Volunteering and visiting the Galapagos Islands were both on my bucket list so not only a lifetime achievement for me but I'm happy to say I loved every minute of it.
Mornings are spent at the tortoise centre - learning and working (not too hard!). Although because my Spanish was very limited, it was a struggle for me to understand all that was being said.
Afternoons, evenings, and weekends are free to do what you want. Lots of times to explore the local area, on foot or cycle; and lots of time to tick off those must see sights. Also an opportunity to meet new people from all over the world.
I stayed in the volunteer house so lunch and dinner was provided in a wide choice of local restaurants. Cooking facilities are available in the house for breakfast. Room was ensuite.
IOI staff are always on hand to help with any problems, or to answer any questions.
Although it wasn't cheap, what price can you put on a once in a lifetime experience.
