The Galapagos Islands provide the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most unique wildlife. If you’re passionate about wildlife, a gap year in the Galapagos Islands is a particularly exciting choice for conservation work it's an extremely remote ecosystem. Much of the wildlife you see on a gap year in the Galapagos Islands can’t be seen anywhere else in the world! (look out for the brightly coloured marine iguana - the world’s only seagoing lizard).
Aside from the incredible wildlife, a gap year in the Galapagos Islands also gives you the chance to explore one of the most remote and beautiful landscapes on Planet Earth.
Tip... there is plenty of Galapagos volunteer work available for your gap year – including a project dedicated to saving the islands’ endangered Giant Tortoise population. Learn a language include some Spanish tuition on your travels!
