Founded in 1973, Nature Expeditions
International (NEI) has been a leader in the field of educational adventure
travel ever since. Every year, we send adventurers to over 25 countries on 5
different continents, both on land-based and adventure cruising expeditions.
Our travelers are typically active, well-educated, North Americans aged 40 and
over -- although many bring their children and grandchildren. They seek participatory experiences that combine natural history, soft
adventure, meaningful cultural interactions and upscale comfort. They travel
as singles, couples, families and small groups. Some opt for existing NEI tours,
while others prefer "customized" tours designed to meet specific parameters.
Based in Plantation, Florida, Nature
Expeditions International is a member of the International Ecotourism Society,
the International Galapagos Tour Operators Association (founding member), the
African Wildlife Foundation, IATA and the Better Business Bureau of Southeast
Florida.
Why should you travel
with NEI? Here’s why:
| Advantage
#1: NEI
expeditions offer more adventure variety. Every
NEI trip offers a choice of at least 3 different types
of adventure. Sample adventures include hiking, bicycling, whitewater
rafting, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, hot air ballooning,
bushwalks, canoeing, kayaking, camel or elephant back treks, glacier
trekking, tubing and plane gliding. |
|
|
Advantage
#2:
Every NEI adventure is low-intensity,
carefully tailored for active, healthy persons over 40. Some of our "soft" adventures are also suitable for older children or teenagers. Rafting
excursions use class 2–3 rivers (class 5 is most difficult).
Bicycling excursions use smooth roads with little traffic and
minimal inclines. Kayaking trips take place in protected coves
or tranquil rivers. |
|
| Advantage
#3: NEI offers alternative
cultural or sightseeing excursions for travelers electing
not to participate in a particular adventure. This might include,
for example, a visit to the home of an Andean mystical healer or to an Argentine dance parlor for a private
Tango lesson. We specialize in customizing tours to meet our clients'
preferences! |
Advantage
#4: NEI trips
are more educational. Most NEI trips offer
two high quality lectures (optional) by experts to supplement the information
conveyed by our excellent guides. Travelers may choose from a menu
of available lectures for each destination. |
|
|
Advantage
#5: NEI offers more
comfort. NEI offers its members a choice of “first
class” or “deluxe” expeditions. Most meals are
included and they are of a very high quality. |
|
|
Advantage
#6: NEI’s
independent travel programs offer the same or greater
benefits as group tours—private airport transfers
and private tours with expert guides. The NEI independent
traveler receives more personalized service than a member of a
group. Moreover, the independent traveler benefits from guaranteed
weekly departures during the season. |
|
|
Advantage #7:
NEI’s guides are truly
topnotch: they are notable for their knowledge, experience
level and affability.
|
|
|
Many companies define adventure travel as simply going to
an exotic, far-flung destination. As you can see, we don’t.
We hope that our well-tested travel programs appeal to you. Please
