The support team are excellent, however the description of the work experience needs to be updated to provide volunteers with a more accurate and detailed description of what is involved. In comparison to the volunteers from other agencies all the global work and travel volunteers, including myself, felt disappointed by the limited amount of conservation work with animals. The work we did was physically hard, especially in the weather conditions, and more farm based; planting, digging and chopping. Our accommodation, although in a stunning location, was fairly isolated. The cost of taxis everyday to leave the farm did add up. Although it was interesting and part of the experience to eat the local food, it was a very carb based diet and when undertakings such physical work, meant we were all hungry most of the time. A bit of extra protein would have been much appreciated, we all lost weight! Apart from the above, the host family were very kind and hospitable and helped us to organise various trips and outings to different parts of San Cristobel and the other islands. Galapagos is an amazing and special place and I really enjoyed seeing a side of it not experienced by most tourists.
