Ecotourism Volunteer and Intern with Galapagos National Park

I would absoloutely recommend this volunteer experience because travelling to the Galapagos provides an invaluable amount of knowledge on the ecosystem and importance of biodiversity, and the tortoises were cute and fun. This experience was the best way to dive into nature and surround myself with like-minded individuals that i absoloutely needed! Had so much fun and made lifelong memories in one of the most beautiful areas of the world!

I would recommend this experience to others because it is a good thing to walk so close together with nature and to see how small mistake can have huge effects to the nature. The experience you get while volunteering you can't get in any other way. It's a great thing to work together with the habitants, animals and nature of a totally different plance than home.

It is an experience that will change your perspective on culture differences and how to handle them. It makes you grow and become a stronger version of yourself. My volunteer experience was awesome and will always be remembered with a smile. It made me stronger and contributed to the person I really want to become in my future.

I would recommend this volunteer experience because you will definitley leave your comfort zone, but you will love it there! It is an adventure and you will feel so proud of yourself afterwards. You did it!

I would recommend this volunter experience because it's the Galápagos, it's with a great and caring institution and it's supporting the local community. I've been so lucky to come to the beautiful island of Isla Isabela and volunteer with the IOI. You can feel that you are making an impact and I made friends for life - other volunteers and my amazing host family. I would do it agaian, and maybe even will do so some time!

I would recommend the program. Got to see some things that as tourist i would not have seen, met some wonderful people on the island. Learned a lot about the Galapagos islands, some things i never thought about before. wish I had stayed longer. The overall experience is 10/10

It was a very amazing experience to be on the island and meet locals. Our time on Isabela was very peaceful. The schedule allowed a lot time to explore the island, im hoping to go to Cuba soon with IOI, such a good organization and totally worth it, the overall was excelenet.

Do it, you will be in one of the last places on earth where conservation is the priority, if amazing wildlife, life-changing experiences also a crazy perspective of life, be part of Galapagos. I would recommend this study abroad experience because it opened my eyes to the many different ways to live an amazing life, showed me amazing wildlife, and save me lifetime memories.

This experience had been a dream of mine for so long with such high expectations it still blew them away. The nature and wildlife are something I wish I could stay with forever. The community is so amazing. It was great making friends and I love the small-town life more than anything, thank you for this experience. I love this island, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience the people made it feel like hoe I will miss this place every day.

I know if I were able to speak Spanish my experience would of been completely different. I did have a good experience but I do think it would of been improved if there was more emphasis on the need to speak Spanish before I arrived.
