I definitely had a great time here!
February 15, 2025by: Maja FenzlProgram: Marine Biology Internship in the Canary IslandsI enjoyed my trip with GVI to Tenerife. I was here for four weeks, which was a perfect period for me. I got to grips with the processes and was able to actively help with activities. I particularly enjoyed the boat trips. I not only had the opportunity to see whales and dolphins, but also to work with them. The park cleaning was also surprisingly a lot of fun, as you were rewarded with the sight of a clean park at the end. I definitely had a great time here! Thank you very much!
An incredible experience!
February 05, 2025by: Cynthia BumsteadProgram: Marine Biology Internship in the Canary IslandsMy two weeks of volunteering with GVI in Tenerife has come to an end, and it's been an incredible experience! I loved every moment,meeting amazing people from around the world, heading out on the boat to observe pilot whales, and identifying their fins back at base. Spotting loggerhead sea turtles and Atlantic spotted dolphins was also a highlight! If you're passionate about marine conservation and want to volunteer abroad, I highly recommend giving this a look!
