Travel the Galapagos Islands if you want to get close to some of Planet Earth’s most unique wildlife. Travelling to the Galapagos Islands you’ll be visiting a beautiful and remote region where the wildlife has evolved entirely differently from the wildlife on the South American mainland.
If you travel to the Galapagos Islands some of the unique species you can encounter include the Giant Tortoise and the marine iguana (the world’s only sea-going lizard). In order to try and protect the fragile eco-system Galapagos Islands travel is limited to a certain number of visitors per year – a fact which makes a gap year in the Galapagos Islands even more of a privilege.
Galapagos Islands travel is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit one of the world’s most incredible natural environments.
Travel the Galapagos Islands with Real Gap and you can choose from a number of rewarding Galapagos volunteer programmes. You could travel to the Galapagos Islands to help out with animal conservation work, teach English or get involved within the community.
Teach English and other activities to underprivileged children on two of the most remote and beautiful islands in the world. The help you give them will greatly improve their chances of working in tourism or other industries.
Help ensure no more of these wonderful creatures are lost by contributing to a conservation project in the middle of the Pacific. You’ll take care of the adult turtles, their eggs and the irresistible baby turtles!
Do what most people only dream of! Learn Spanish, take salsa or cooking classes, visit Machu Picchu, explore the Amazon, marvel at Lake Titicaca and take part in wildlife or community projects.
