Best trip
by: Lauren Walker - United StatesProgram: Greece: Island Turtle Conservation with Rustic PathwaysI had an unforgettable time with sea turtles! Met the best people and the staff was great. It was so hands-on and so rewarding. Met my new friend Katie which was great. My only knock was that sometimes it could feel a little clicky between different groups.
Hey Lauren! Thanks so much for traveling with us. We're so happy that you made a lifelong friend! And thanks for the feedback. We'll report it back to our team to see how we can improve on our group dynamics. And we hope you travel with us again soon...
Amazing program
by: Evelyn Robinson - United StatesProgram: Greece: Island Turtle Conservation with Rustic PathwaysThis was an amazing program start to finish. I learned so much about marine life in Greece while helping out. The views were amazing and I loved Darren and Gem, the leaders. Great experience all around.
Hey Evelyn! We're so glad you were able to explore Greece with us. We know Darren and Gem enjoyed their time with your group too. We hope you join us again on another trip soon!
loved the hands-on approach
by: Kaylie Scott - Guam (USA)Program: Greece: Island Turtle Conservation with Rustic PathwaysMy brief two weeks in Italy and Greece has been the most humbling and overwhelming experience.

Hi Kaylie! Thanks so much for traveling with us. We're happy to hear you learned so much and had an unforgettable experience! See you next year?
