Founded in 1973, Nature Expeditions International (NEI) offers upscale wildlife viewing, "soft" adventure and cultural tours to over 25 countries on five continents. Each NEI tour offers a variety of soft adventure excursions, meaningful cultural experiences, a choice of lecture topics and first class or deluxe accommodations. All of our adventures are low intensity and elective, and may be replaced by cultural excursions, wildlife viewing or free time. Geared for active travelers over 40 (as well as for some children), NEI's distinctive tours offer a unique (and customizable) blend of adventure and cultural variety.

Based on years of feedback, we believe that NEI’s tours compare favorably with those of our competitors in terms of the quality and creativity of our itineraries, their educational content, flexibility and the variety of adventure and cultural experiences offered.

We are proud members of the Better Business Bureau (where we have an A+ rating), African Wildlife Foundation, International Galapagos Tour Operators Association, the International Ecotourism Society, Galapagos Conservancy and IATAN.
