Wildlife Sanctuary Volunteering in Ecuador

Ecuador is amazing! I’m really enjoying my stay and constantly finding more stuff to do here. I have felt very welcome with the other volunteers and workers here. I am very grateful to be able to visit this beautiful part of the world!

As parents of a 17 year old, encouraging our son to go on a volunteering trip to Ecuador was a big decision, however, thanks to the professionalism and support of Oyster Worldwide it was a positive experience from start to finish. Kate was fantastic- always responsive, informative and reassuring, her support made the whole experience as stress free as it could be for us as parents. The project was everything we could have asked for and was a springboard for our son to go off alone to do some solo travelling. We can’t recommend Oyster worldwide highly enough - especially for parents who might feel wary about sending a teenager abroad.

Volunteering in a wildlife sanctuary in Ecuador through Oyster was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you're considering this kind of experience but feel unsure—don’t be! Oyster was with me every step of the way, making sure I was well-prepared and supported from start to finish. Working with rescued animals in the heart of the rainforest was unforgettable, and I met some of the most incredible, passionate people I’ve ever known. The local team and fellow volunteers made it feel like a second family. If you’re looking for a life-changing adventure, I can’t recommend Oyster enough!
