Volunteer & Eco Adventures


Feature Writer: Karen Berger
Karen Berger at Niagara Falls., by Paul Hackett

In Volunteer and Eco Adventures, we travel the world seeking to tread softly, explore local culture and environments, have some adventures, and give back along the way.

  • In Adventure Travel we explore alpine adventures, water adventures, equestrian adventures, solo travel, and more.
  • Our Eco-Adventures include jungle safaris, nature wildlife tours, and environmentally responsible travel - everything from safaris in Africa to sea turtles in Central America. We visit sustainable tourism projects that are helping to save fragile landscapes and help local economies.
  • In International Volunteering, learn how to use your skills to help others - raising homes, teaching school in developing countries, planting trees in deforested jungles, or building trails closer to home.
