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.
