The Best Transformational Family Adventures for 2018

The new year has arrived!

We’re renewing our wishes for a life of meaningful travel that can help us raise good global citizens and make a difference in the world.

If you are looking for the perfect family getaway in 2018, why not choose a vacation that will impact not only your family but also benefit others?

A small group departure also means:

• • You get the perfect balance between included activities and your own “family time”.

 

• • You make new connections, discover different perspectives and forge lasting friendships, the ones that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

 

• • We’re able to source everything locally: food, guides and lodging. So you know your dollars are staying and directly benefiting the destination you visit.

 

We’re looking forward to 2018 and have been working hard to develop new and exciting itineraries. Here is an overview of where we’re traveling with purpose in 2018.

We hope you and your family will come along for the journey!

 

Gray Whales & Sea Turtle Conservation in Baja

Over President’s Week, we’ll experience the wonder of these charismatic marine species from a research camp in Magdalena Bay. Our local hosts will treat us to the finest in regional cuisine and inform us on their flora, fauna and local conservation efforts.

This jewel of the Pacific, just a few hours between Loreto and La Paz, is home to a staggering number of marine and aviary species, lush mangrove canals and towering sand dunes.

We’ll work alongside fishermen and conservationists in a project recognized as a model for community efforts to protect endangered species and habitat.

Brazilian Amazon River Cruise

A life-changing expedition for adventurers big and small.

This truly unique family vacation combines nature with important lessons of respect, diversity and conservation.

Being on a boat is an adventure in and of itself and it allows you access to nature and remote communities like never before. We’re headed to Jau National Park, the largest freshwater forest park in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wildlife is abundant and scenery is jaw-dropping; and yet it is still relatively unexplored by tourism.

We’ll hike through primary forest and learn about the jungle, spot cayman at night, fish for piranhas, visit a turtle conservation project, a school in Cachoeira, and much more.
