We
tailor programs around your interests, your abilities, your budget, your
time frame. Our expertise is in helping people take that step beyond the
beach into a new, culturally rich and biologically diverse world. And if you
want to go further, we can help as well with deep nature programs, treks and
even private expeditions.
Most
people are happily surprised to learn how competitively priced a custom trip
can be. Of course, our programs are going to be higher than the cheap and
cheerful charters, but if you are looking on this website, you probably are
not hunting for a typical vacation.
Do you have an
educational travel interest?
Tropical
biology, ancient archeology, language and history are just a few of the
subjects we can help you with.
Are you interested in
agri-tourism? There are many places
in Canada, Costa Rica, Europe, South America, and the U.S. where you may tour conventional, transitional, sustainable
and organic farms and institutions. Just because some happen to be in
beautiful places should not detract.
Make
your next meeting or convention
green. We will help you with all the organisational details, transfers,
activities and meals.
Cultural heritage and art
programs are also integral aspects
of ecotourism. We can help arrange tours, workshops and meet local artists in many regions.
Wellness and self improvement
programs are becoming more popular,
particularly in beautiful natural locations. Many ecolodges are ideal for small groups that are interested in this.
Some are specialized in this.
Do you have a particular interest in the
study of ecotourism?
One of the most exciting ways to experience this is to visit several ecolodges in a country or region. This gives
you a great chance to compare operations and meet owners and managers. Students of tourism, ecotourism recreation,
biology and geography can take behind the scenes tours to ecolodges in
Brazil, Costa Rica and Peru to learn about how conservation
is working, how community is being involved, business successes, challenges and even what does not work in the
field. This would be also be valuable to urban and parks planners.
And, let's not forget
natural history, birdwatching and wildlife
watching tours. It goes without saying that if you have an interest in wildlife, ecolodges offer
unparalleled
services for groups. Great guides, easy access, educational resources, and above all - superior comfort and great
food!
