One of the most increasingly popular types of group trips to take lately at our company, and in North America in general, is an Eco Trip!
It’s easy to see why these trips are so popular, they are the ultimate combination of fun, education, and sustainable travel. You will have the chance to explore the pristine wilderness, wildlife watch, cruise, and even camp (or glamp in an eco-lodge). There is no better feeling than experiencing the benefits of green travel, whether you are an eco-junkie or just a vacationer.
Another major bonus with eco-travel? All options are extremely group-friendly!
