What travelers are saying

"My tour guide, Tien, was wonderful. There was a tour participant from Australia who was a physician, and he acted like the tour medical director, demanding I leave the tour. The emergency contact people in Vietnam were very helpful with finding me accommodations after I left the tour. I am still waiting on a letter from World Expeditions supporting my travel insurance claim."

What travelers are saying

"Feels a bit double writing this review. On the one hand, it was a nice trip with good lodges and good food, on the other hand, the guide was not good (way too present, poor condition - we constantly had to wait) and - worst- they gave us very poor sleeping bags (too small, too cold and not breathable which made the sleeping bag damp/wet). We've indicated this several times to the organization, but little was done. What I liked is that the owner was open to our feedback. Also, the feedback is that they can do better to prevent the porter from carrying unnecessary kilos. Because of this, I give them the benefit of the doubt; 3 instead of 2 stars."

What travelers are saying

"This company is unbelievable. Firstly I get a cancellation of the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica trip. The compensation in comparison to a like for like trip was peanuts and the increase was 1000s more! Then I read numerous customers are getting switched onto trips without paying the difference. I ring them again and they promise to swop me for no extra charge. This was agreed with their team leader. I waited until getting a cabin on Fram without getting too excited but sure enough we were swopped and I was so excited and looking forward to the trip of a lifetime. Yesterday I got a devastating email saying ‘i am reaching out to you since regardless of his statement that we will be able to price match you, this request was denied by our Revenue department and we are not able to honour the price match.’ After speaking to this new team leader she had very little to say, no excuse or justification just she was sorry. There is no way we can afford the 1000s extra they are asking for the same trip. We are now left heartbroken for a second time. This company has no care or consideration for its customers and I for one will not use them again and I will tell anyone who will listen how shocking they are!"

French Pyrenees

Highlights

  • Survey and observe birds. You'll check nest boxes set up by the researchers throughout the mountains, and learn to identify birds by their songs.
  • Track biodiversity. On your long-hike days, you will take note of all the plants and animals you see and monitor camera traps set up by the researchers.
  • Monitor small mammals. Keep an eye on the health of vole, mouse, and shrew populations by capturing them, collects measurements, and safely releasing them.
  • Survey bats. On some evenings, you will walk paths and count all the bats you see or detect with special sensors.
  • Assess vegetation. In preset research plots, you will measure trees and record the timing of natural events like fruiting and flowering.

What travelers are saying

"I went on my first Earthwatch expedition in 2012. It was a great experience but clearly showed that safety was not a top priority of the organization and it was extremely expensive. They will tell you this money goes to the scientists and to the lodging but that was a minuscule amount. Having actually talked to the scientists I saw most of the money did not get to them. It’s for overhead and lining the pockets of the executives. Years later I received a trip as a graduation present. This happened to be shortly before the pandemic shut down. Conveniently they waited until the day after the payment deadline to shut down the trips. Now by their own words they did it out of an abundance of caution which is them choosing to shut down trips that could have otherwise progressed but even so they would not refund the 5k that had been given to them less than 24 hours earlier. An organization with integrity would look at this unprecedented event and give that money back but like I said money over everything and so even though they clearly had been in talks of shutting down and waited until the money was in their hands to do so they saw nothing wrong with keeping it and not providing the trip. This is predatory behavior. The research was not being done and the trip was not being taken so they saw 100% of that money going into their pockets and did not care about anything else. In a time that caused extreme financial hardship they chose greed. If they hadn’t done this I probably would have taken another trip with them but this experience caused me to look deeper and see they actually had a long history of choosing money over the well being of their participants in a lot of different ways. I absolutely encourage you not to use this company and not to give them money. Even if the trip progresses as planned they will choose money over you every single time which could at best diminish your experience and at worst put you in a dangerous situation. I cannot stress enough how much they do not care about you as a human being only as a cash machine."

Eco, Sustainable & Green Travel Tour Selection Trips

  • Destinations like Costa Rica, the Galapagos, and some of the Balkan countries in Eastern Europe make eco and sustainable tourism a priority - these can be some great places to start looking for inspiration!
  • When it comes to Eco tours, low impact is the goal. For accommodation, think tents or lodges built with sustainable materials vs large hotels and resorts. For transport, taking local transport as much as possible is best - taking trains and buses over private cars or short-haul/domestic flights. Check what type of accommodation and transport is included in your trip.
  • Read the sustainable or responsible travel commitment of your tour operator before booking. Many, like G Adventures or Intrepid Travel, have foundations that they have set up to support sustainable tourism and setup projects to support local communities in developing countries where they operate trips to, or to support endangered wildlife. 
  • Pick a tour that uses local country guides, who can show you the best of Eco or Sustainable Tourism in their destination(s). 
  • Eco friendly activities look to protect nature, wildlife, and the environment, so make sure any trips you pick do not include riding of wild animals (such as elephants) or (directly or indirectly) encourage the keeping of animals in captivity for tourism purposes.  
  • When going on safari, look for operators that prioritize the protection of animals and respect them in their natural habitats. 
  • While we often can’t avoid talking flights to reach our travel destination, there are carbon offset programs available which you can choose to contribute to - your tour operator may be able to advise further on the options available.
