Biological Research Volunteering in Portugal

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.

I went to Galapagos for my first volunteer project. The entire experience was fantastic. The description of the travel to the island seemed challenging but it was not that bad. Great opportunity to get immersed in the culture, living with an ecuadorian family. The living conditions were much better than I expected. The program was run very well with plenty of time to get out and see the sights of Galapagos. Highly recommend. Will be returning next year.
