The only negative things I have to say would be that with the program being so new I wish it would have been more organized and I wish we had been a little bit more prepared as to what we should pack and what we should expect.

Wild Tropics

This summer, I took the trip of a lifetime with Loop Abroad. Not only did I work hands-on with animals of all different species (sharks, sea turtles, elephants, bats, fish, water buffalo, dogs, cats, etc) I got to experience the lovely culture of Thailand. While spending my time in Chaing Mai or Koh Tao, I was immersed in extremely valuable knowledge and life lessons. The experience opened myself up to a whole new world of possibilities. The wild tropics program through Loop Abroad also confirmed I want to go to graduate school for biology!

What would you improve about this program?
There was a lack of communication at some points between Loop Abroad Staff and our group. I wish we had a more clear outline of the entire trip, as well as more communication about what we would be doing for the day. Also, even though the temples were beautiful, I would advise for future groups not to go to so many temples. I would have rather studied more biology than temples.

What would you improve about this program?
Only suggestion I would give to this program is more financial aid options; for example, instead of basing aid solely on household income, perhaps include an option where students can write essays for a scholarship.

Amazing week!

The marine bonus week was an amazing way to end my time with loop abroad in Thailand. It was such a fun week on a beautiful island. All the staff and people at New Heaven Dive School were absolutely amazing and all of the activities we did were new experiences for me. I loved having the opportunity to learn more about marine life and learning how to scuba dive! Overall I would recommend this bonus week to everybody. Koh Tao is definitely not a place to miss while in Thailand!

What would you improve about this program?
I loved the program. I think everybody should have the chance to scuba dive!

No Words! (In a great way)

I have been trying to write this review since the moment I got home from my amazing trip with Loop Abroad, I truly have not been able to explain how amazing my trip was until now. I started my first two weeks in Thailand on the Veterinary Service Trip and then was fortunate enough to extend my stay to enjoy the Adventure Bonus Week. The people were amazing, including the tour guides, the trip leaders, the locals, and the people I went on my trip with, and every single thing we did was an extremely humbling experience, as well as a TON of fun. I cannot say enough about how great traveling with Loop Abroad was, and I hope to return again, either on a trip to either Austrailia or Africa or as a trip leader to Thailand again!

Temples, trekking, and travels

This week was full of the most unique and adventurous activities! We went zip lining through the trees on top of a mountain, we took a cooking class and learned how to cook a variety of Thai dishes, and we climbed a huge mountain! The adventures didn't stop there! We took a car trip to the white temple and went on a slow boat in the Golden Triangle. I've traveled to multiple countries before and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the culture and religion from some of the greatest tour guides Thailand has to offer! The Thai people that we passed along or travels were often very kind and of course smiling! I would definitely go back with Loop Abroad again and again their programs kept you feeling safe Ms secure while also exposing you to everything the country has to offer!

What would you improve about this program?
Not something that needs to be improved, but definitely should let Loopers know the food is spicy and make sure to ask for less spicy.

Elephant bonus week

Loop Abroad’s elephant bonus week was a once in a lifetime experience that exceeded my expectations. The week was packed with activities so you were never bored, and always got to experience new opportunities with the elephants. Aside from visiting the elephants for bathing or feeding we had a variety of events I never thought I would get to try. Although I was not part of the vet program, I got to complete a diet study and follow around an elephant for a whole day. Along with the diet study I also had the opportunity to follow a vet tech and assist with wound cleaning and feeding the older elephants medicine balls. There are so many ways you get to interact with the elephants and observe them that go way beyond the one-day visit experience.
The staff exceeded my expectations by being both extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. I always felt safe and was able to have all my questions answered. Everything was organized but you still had some free time to relax and enjoy the park. It was the perfect balance of structure and exploration.
Learning about everything the animals at ENP have gone through, and spending a full week really getting to know the park proved to be nothing short of amazing. Between the activities we got to experience and the amazing Loop Abroad and ENP staff the bonus week is an unforgettable opportunity.
