After a short boat ride to Isla Lobos, we hike and explore by land looking for frigate birds, blue-footed boobies and land iguanas. Look for nesting pairs, babies, and the kleptoparasitic behavior of the two species of frigate birds while hiking trails on this uninhabited paradise.

Learn to make empanadas, the classic Ecuadorian snack food. We will have all the tools and ingredients ready to join a local cook in their kitchen and get hands-on with this delicious dish. We will prepare and enjoy the treats together and have a recipe to take home too!

We begin the day with a history of the islands before jumping in to snorkel and swim with sea lions and possibly marine iguanas.

We walk back to the village for lunch and then have a free afternoon to shop local artisans and bring home sustainable and thoughtful crafts from the islands.

Explore, shop, or relax in small groups as we round out the last afternoon of our magical time on the Galápagos.

Say goodbye and thank you to our local naturalist guides with one final dinner together before a last night of sleep with the island breeze, chorus of wildlife and dark night skies.

From beginning to end, everything is organized, affordable, communication is quick and easy, and the trip is well planned with plenty of activities as well as downtime. I will travel with them again and recommend that every teacher looking to take a group of high school students on a trip that has both fun and educational aspects does the same. Green Edventures is the best!

– Shannon S., Baja Tour

Our trip was one of the most impactful experiences I've ever had for so many reasons- the location, the wildlife, the deep knowledge of the on-the-ground partners, the authentic learning and service opportunities, the emphasis on safety and connection for our students, and how smoothly everything went is truly exemplary.

– Lindsay R., Galapagos Tour

In the past 4 years I have been on 6 trips with Green Edventure and have one planned for this summer and next. If you are a person who values the outdoors, biology, and ecology and wishes to instill these same values into your family, friends, and/or students then look no further. Green Edventures is in a league of its own from an educational, fun, and ecotourism standpoint. My family, students and myself have had such wonderful and enlightening experiences through these trips!

─ Todd K., Baja, Alaska, Trinidad & Tobago and Galapagos Islands Tours

We have taken a group of Nebraska students to Baja with GE for 4 years. It has always been an awesome experience!! The students love the hands-on approach. They bring memories back that will never be lost. We always feel that what they have learned and experienced about the ecology will make them better informed naturalist and voters.

─ Karen G., Baja Tour

Thank you very much for all of your hard work in organizing a fantastic trip for my students. I am very appreciative. You did a great job. Every student loved you, Courtenay and the rest of the gang.

─ D. Hoffman, Trinidad & Tobago Tour

I took a small group to Alaska with Green Edventures in 2009. It was an amazing experience. I have not traveled with students for many years but when my family situation slows down and I make the commitment, I know I will use Green Edventures.

─ Dawn P., Alaska Tour

I still dream about the trip! Amazing memories I want to go back!

─ Brittany P., Costa Rica Tour

First, we genuinely were cared for- in terms of our dietary restrictions, personal comfort, and needs. There's a difference between feeling cared for and actually being cared for. Definitely was the latter with Green Ed. Second, we were made to feel safe. Driving was extremely safe and efficient, all local restaurants were well-chosen, and all excursions were done with regard for our physical and emotional safety. Third, there is great knowledge of the wildlife and the ecosystems. Because local guides and establishments are utilized, great care is taken to introduce students to the local flora and fauna in a knowledgeable manner with expertise. In total, I would certainly recommend Green Ed for any future trip I was taking to a region where I had little (to no) experience. The staff and contracted partners are completely knowledgeable and trustworthy. It was truly an unforgettable experience for everyone in the group (including me, the instructor).

─ Matthew F., Baja Tour

Awesome trip!

─ Tristan T., Galapagos Islands Tour

Wow, What an amazing experience for my students and chaperones. This is my 3rd time taking a large group of students on an Eco-Tour out of the country, but the first time with Green Edventures. The difference in my trip to Roatan compared to the others in value, experience, and safety is beyond compare! 10/10 experience.

– Jim N., Roatan, Honduras

My son loved this trip! He had quite the adventure and learned a lot.
