Ecuador & Galapagos expedition reviews

This was without a doubt the most worthwhile thing that I have ever done. I have never had as much fun in one month before. Ecuador is an amazing and diverse place and just when you think your done being wowed you fly to the Galapagos Islands. I was also lucky enough to have an awesome leader, Sam Clarke. This was the best month of my life and all I've wanted since I've come home is to go back out there with my team.

It was brilliant to see the students really develop. The expedition objectives have all been met and variety within the programme, together with the staff and the student ratio, has meant that everyone was given the opportunity to learn, develop and succeed.

Lou Page, School Leader, Denbigh High school

If you ever feel like pulling out before you go (I certainly did), DON'T! This has been one of the best experiences of my life and I have gained so much experience from it; such as new friendships, greater self-confidence and got a huge taste for adventure.

Our daughter feels ready to take on another challenge like never before and is busy planning a gap year trip , thank you for making this trip to Ecuador so valuable.
