    Overview

    Explore the Galápagos Islands' unique wildlife and landscapes while making a difference through conservation efforts, all as an extension of BBYO's Stand UP Adventure Ecuador program.

    Extend your adventure from Ecuador to the pristine and awe-inspiring Galápagos Islands, a world-renowned destination for nature lovers and budding conservationists. This unique extension to BBYO's Stand UP Adventure Ecuador program offers Jewish teens the rare opportunity to explore one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. You’ll snorkel with sea turtles, hike alongside giant tortoises, and witness the extraordinary wildlife that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution—all while learning about the ongoing efforts to preserve these islands.

    This trip isn’t just about exploration; it’s about connecting with nature on a deeper level. Teens will participate in hands-on conservation projects, supporting efforts to protect the delicate ecosystems of the Galápagos. From reforestation initiatives to beach clean-ups, your time here will contribute to the legacy of preserving one of the world’s most unique natural treasures.

    Whether you’re observing blue-footed boobies, swimming with sea lions, or taking in the volcanic landscapes, every moment in the Galápagos will be an unforgettable chapter of your journey. Join us for an experience that combines adventure, education, and meaningful impact in one of the most remarkable places on Earth.
