Every year, we’re inspired and encouraged by our travelers’ stories and experiences.  From student travelers who decide to study marine biology after coming face to face with a nesting sea turtle, dedicated teachers who provide life changing experiences for their students to the individuals who form everlasting bonds with their fellow travelers.   We thank you for your passion for the environment, helping local communities and proving that travel does change the world!

“THANK YOU for an amazing ten days in Costa Rica! EcoTeach provided great service throughout the entire experience, from helping us craft a perfect itinerary for our group to providing the perfect packing list so that we wouldn’t feel like we left anything behind to the most amazing tour guides in the country!

“I was able to learn so much about the people and the culture of Costa Rica.  I saw how the people helped each other, worked hard and their entire society seemed so much closer together. I will bring so much from this trip.  Lessons that will help me view the world differently and motivate me to put forth my best effort into changing it.”  9^th grade Student Traveler

“My absolute favorite part of the trip was when I had the opportunity to hold the egg bag as a turtle laid her eggs. It was just so mystical: the massive turtle and her powerful strength, the smell of the sea, the soft thud of the eggs into the bag… I’ll never forget that experience,and I’ve become completely hooked on sea turtles and marine biology.”  College Student

“The next instance of “leaving our own world,” was the magical time crossing four fast-flowing rivers, first by motorized dug-out and then by wading.  The sight of the long line of students, adult chaperones and guides, making their way across the river with steaming mountain forests ahead and a narrow footpath to follow, made me happier than I can remember for a long time.” Parent Chaperone
