About these adventures

Each destination is carefully selected to be sure it is both politically stable and visitor friendly. Our small groups of 10 to 15 students and two to three highly qualified leaders allow for an amazing opportunity to explore other cultures firsthand, while engaging in a wide variety of fun and challenging adventure activities such as white water rafting, sea kayaking, trekking, snorkelling, sailing, and scuba diving.

 

Depending upon the trip you choose, your travel mode will vary. You could be hut-to-hut hiking in the mountains of Europe, sailing from island to island aboard a ship in the Galapagos or traveling by sea kayak or backpack, spending your nights in remote beachside villages or family rainforest farms. Regardless of the trip you choose, your experience will be life changing and your tripmates will become lifetime friends.

 

A major emphasis of these wonderful programs is based on cultural immersion. By living and traveling amidst native populations, our students gain significant knowledge, understanding and insight into different cultures and ways of life. They provide a learning experience of a lifetime and enable us to investigate countries and cultures from totally unique perspectives.

why these adventures are unique

We have limited our international offerings to include only those destinations which are safe, where we can limit subcontractors, and where we have the highest control over those subcontractors we do work with. While our strict criteria for international programming limits our offerings, it also assures us of providing the same high quality experiences we have been providing domestically for the past 37 years.

what you need to provide

All you need to bring is a backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, personal clothing and loads of enthusiasm to learn about other cultures and to accomplish fun and challenging activities.
