Volunteer Programs in Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Volunteer opportunities in the Galapagos Islands offer volunteers the rare chance to live for an extended period of time in one of the world’s most beautiful and unique ecosystems. Popularly known as the inspiration for Charles Darwin’s groundbreaking theories on evolution over 150 years ago, today the Galapagos Islands host a small population of about 25,000 inhabitants amongst a large diversity of endemic species. For international volunteers interested in environmental preservation, biology, or wildlife conservation, volunteering in the Galapagos Islands is the opportunity of a lifetime.

I felt incredibly supported throughout my volunteering journey with Volunteer HQ. As my first solo trip, I couldn’t have chosen a better experience. From sign-up to the final day, everything was well-organized. My program manager was always available to help, and the local team made sure I felt safe and welcomed. I was fully immersed in the culture and made unforgettable memories. A truly amazing and enriching experience—I’d highly recommend it to anyone considering volunteering abroad.
