Voluntary work in the Galapagos Islands is an extremely fulfilling way to experience everyday life in one of the most remote and beautiful locations on the planet. The Galapagos Islands are world renowned for their unique wildlife and, not surprisingly, most of the opportunities to do some voluntary work in the Galapagos Islands are geared towards nature lovers. Doing some voluntary work in the Galapagos Islands enables you to be a responsible tourist.
Galapagos Islands voluntary work
We offer several extremely rewarding Galapagos Islands voluntary work programmes – all of which allow volunteers to become fully integrated in to everyday life on the islands. If you would like your Galapagos Islands career break voluntary work to be focussed on environmental or wildlife conservation you can choose between two superb programmes – our Giant Tortoise conservation project and our Environmental Education project. If, however, you would prefer to help people with your Galapagos Islands voluntary work it is possible to do so by teaching English in local schools. All of the Galapagos Islands voluntary work programmes also provide the opportunity to study Spanish.
This programme is a unique opportunity to see one of the world’s most bio-diverse destinations and combine volunteering, travelling and environmental conservation in one incredible trip!
