Oh wow, where should I start?
This was my first Workaway experience, and one of the best experiences of my life. The hotel staff and fellow volunteers took such good care of me, I felt important, trusted and I found such good friends during the time I spent on lovely Isabela. It was fairly easy to get into the work - if you make sure to do all of… read more the tasks properly, have a smile on your face and be of service to the guests as well as you can, you will do great. It was such a dream to be able to work right on the beach, or super close (since you work in two separate hotels). To be able to see the beautiful sunsets, hang out with and be amazed by the special animals, going for bike excursions, to the perfect snorkeling spot and to "Parte Alta" and the volcano in your everyday life was an incredible experience.
I loved the tiny village, the chill vibe and friendly people. The house I got to live in with my fellow colleagues was simple but perfect, I spent many hours in the kitchen learning to make ecuadorian cuisine.
I also loved how everyone helped me practice my Spanish, I really did improve a ton during the three months I spent on the island. It is great if you start with an intermediate level of Spanish though, I felt like that was a great level to start with.
I would never trade this experience for anything. Thank you to my Galápagos-family <3

Ahh, dónde puedo empezar?
Este fue mi primer experiencia con Workaway y una de mis experiencias mejores de toda mi vida. El personal y los otros voluntarios me cuidaron tan bueno, sentía importante, de confianza y podía encontrar amigos tan amables y fantásticos durante mi tiempo en Isabela. La isla que tiene un parte de mi corazón. Fue bastante facil entrar y empezar con el trabajo - si haces todas las tareas en tu mejor manera, tienes una sonrisa en tu cara y haces todo lo que puedes para ayudar a los huéspedes harás excelente. Era como un sueño poder trabajar en la playa o muy cerca (trabajas en dos hoteles separados). Poder ver los atardeceres tan hermosos, pasar tiempo con y estar asombrado por los animales especiales, ir a excursiones con bici, al lugar perfecto para hacer el snorceling y a ”Parte Alta” y el volcano en tu vida cotidiana era una experiencia increíble.

Me encantó el pueblo pequeño, la sensación de calma y la gente amable. La casa donde quedé con mis colegas era simple pero perfecto, pasé tantas horas en la cocina aprender hacer cocina ecuatoriana.
También me encantó como todos me ayudaron practicar mi español, realmente mejoré un montón durante los tres meses que pasé en la isla. Está perfecto empezarás con un nivel intermedio de español, sentía como que estaba un nivel bueno que empezar con.
Nunca podría comerciar esta experiencia a nada. Muchos gracias a mi familia en Galápagos <3

The month I spent on Isabela was incredible, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this workaway! I worked at the hotel reception and had time every day for snorkelling, cycling and enjoying the beach. The work is really easy and exactly as described - perfect if you speak German, as that’s where the majority of the guests are from.

Ana es maravillosa.

Tiene unas aptitudes increíbles, siempre positiva y muy trabajadora. Nuestros clientes la amaron y nuestro personal también.

JOY. For me, that keyword captures this experience. Joy within the team (everybody working in the hotel), expressed by smiling, sharing stories, and joking around when we got to know each other better ^^ There are so many curious, happy, friendly and relaxed people here... Muchas gracias, a todos!! Me siento tan agradecido...!!

Daniel and I volunteered for two months and it was a beautiful and life changing experience. Our hosts and co-volunteers were all very welcoming. They fed us and took us out around town. Alex showed us some very cool hiking and swimming spots. Everyone was eager to teach us about the language and culture. We made plenty of friends during our stay… read more

What an unreal WorkAway. All the staff and locals were friendly and welcoming. We volunteered on Isabela Island in reception for 4 weeks and wished we were there longer. It was fun learning Spanish from the staff and teaching them English too. An intermediate level of Spanish would be absolutely ideal. The Ecuadorian meals were amazing and kitchen… read more

we are very pleased with Daniel. He is a very responsible and easy going volunteer. He even started to anticipate our needs, which is quite remarkable. He assited us in several areas, and was even able to find time to socialize with our staff, that is why he is truly missed here in San Cristobal.
it was great to have him in our team !
