I absolutely loved volunteering here! Fiorella and her family were so nice and welcoming and even took me to some of their favourite places to eat in the town. I worked 4 hours a day, either in the morning or the afternoon, and the tasks mostly consisted of painting, bartending and some cleaning. The rest of the day you can spend doing so many different activities on the island or just relax on the beach. Fiorella was super flexible about when I would work so I could do the activities I wanted as well, which is really appreciated. I hope I have the chance to come back here!

Getting to volunteer at the hostel and stay on Isla Isabela was such a treat. The hostal and bar are beautiful buildings located right next to the beach. Fiorella and her family made me feel welcomed and were excited for me to get to know the area that they call home. The tasks included general cleaning of the hostal such as sweeping, mopping and cleaning the kitchen. I also helped repaint walls of the hostal and bar as well as assist in the bar itself a couple times. Fiorella was happy to plan my work schedule around any tours or activities that I had planned. Would recommend!

Volunteering at the hostel was so much fun! I helped at the bar, made decorations for a weekend party, and did some cleaning. It was a beautiful environment to spend time in, with the bar being right on the beach 😊 Had so much time to explore the island in my free time. Highly recommend!

This was my first worldpackers experience and it was brilliant! Fiorella and her family were so welcoming and accommodating. I worked for 4 hours per day, a mix of cleaning, painting, decorating and bartending. Fiorella was super flexible with working around tours/activities, which she also helped me book! The accommodation was great, very clean and comfortable with air con & hot shower. The kitchen was well equipped and there were many convenience stores nearby. Had a really great experience here - sad to leave!

I can't begin to say how much I enjoyed my time here! Fiorella and her family are so welcoming, the hostel and bar are in a perfect location right on the beach and the rooms are lovely. Everyone I worked with was so helpful and they have so much information about what to do and where to go on the island. The work is fun and simple and if you ever have any issues Fiorella is always there to help! I have met so many lovely people and I wish I could have stayed longer, I was so sad to leave! I definitely recommend this work exchange i couldn't have asked for a better host :) Thankyou!

My work at the hostel was my first expierience with worldpackers and it was great. The host and her family are really kind. offering me al kind of fruit (local fruit) while I was working. The work was different every day so I was not bored. They have a good kitchen where I cooked everyday. I really liked it here and it will be sad to say goodbye.

Thank you! I had such a great time at the hostel. Normally I worked in the morning which meant I had the whole day to explore the island, but when I had tours booked in the morning it was not a problem at all and I just worked in the afternoon. Edith was very welcoming and even gave me some clothes to wear as my luggage got lost. My work usually involved cleaning which I didn't mind and expected, but there was no bar work. I would love to come again if I ever have the chance to come back to Galápagos.

I stayed at the hostel for a week. It was a truly relaxing place. The hosts were super welcoming and friendly, the accommodation and the whole hostel was comfortable and clean, the work was easy as well… The work schedules were sometimes a bit unpredictable, but you have a lot of impact on that too. If you have plans to go on a tour one day, no problem. Then you just work later in the afternoon instead. The bar is a really cool place to go for yummy drinks and dancing. It's the perfect place to interact with locals and other travelers. Muchas gracias for having me, was a pleasure 🤗

I really enjoyed volunteering here! The hotel was lovely, and Miguel was very welcoming and helpful & his friends too. The room was a great place to stay too whilst discovering the beautiful island :)

Couldn't have hoped for a better first experience at Worldpackers. I was welcomed with open arms by Miguel and his lovely family at their hostel and bar. I worked closely with Miguel, a guy who was open to talk and worried not only about my work as a volunteer but also that I make the most of what the island has to offer. The work itself is not difficult and exhausting. It consisted of manual work (painting walls, cleaning, sanding wood) and serving at the bar. I hope one day to meet them again, it was a great week in Isabela. Will be missed.
