Review

I traveled to Costa Rica in 2008 with ISV and worked with a sea turtle research organization. We would do nightly patrols of the beach with WIDECAST researchers looking for turtles and nests so that we could collect important data in regards to their nesting habits. We also worked during the day cleaning the beach and helped rebuild an old school house into a dormitory for the researchers. The amount I learned in regards to conservation, sustainability and responsible tourism was amazing. They did such a great job and turning hard work into an incredibly rewarding experience. The 2nd two weeks on the adventure tour was just unreal. We went rafting to a lodge in the middle of the rainforest, ziplining, rapelling down waterfalls and snorkeling just to name a few activities. I came home so stoked on this program that 4 of my closest friends have traveled with ISV now as well. I highly recommend any of their projects!!

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
