Australia: Aborigines, Reef, and Rainforest
Delight in a tropical Australia that most visitors will never experience. This trip offers a learn by doing focus when you work and learn side-by-side with Australian students, conservationists, and scientists attempting to create awareness of, and rehabilitate, the region’s precious natural places. Meet iconic animals of Australia such as koalas, kookaburras and kangaroos – and help protect the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef. Learn more about the traditions of the indigenous Yidinji people and fashion your own didgeridoo to take home. True Aussie culture comes alive when you stay overnight with local families, work in a garden patch with Aussie students, and hear the stories of the Dreamtime from our aboriginal friends.
Mexico: Expedition Whale Sharks
Just off the tip of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula is a small island largely untouched by tourism, despite its proximity to Cancún. Isla Holbox might go unnoticed entirely, except for some unique visitors who come to its warm ocean waters each summer. Their presence is hard to ignore, since they are 40 feet long and weigh 15 tons. These are gentle whale sharks – not whales at all, despite their size, but actually the world’s largest fish. Docile and unafraid, they allow us to swim close enough to observe the checkerboard pattern of pale yellow dots and stripes covering their thick gray skin.
