SCROLL DOWN TO SEE OUR LATEST FIELD OPPORTUNITIES

GEOetc Field Adventures are fantastic learning opportunities for students, teachers, educators, science enthusiasts, and their families.  We have been leading field adventures since 1985 and have intimate knowledge of what makes a trip a life-changing experience for all.  Our trips are open to people from around the globe.  Trips are led in English.

We specialize in small, intimate group trips, which allow us to focus on individual needs and visit places that large groups can’t access.

One thing we pride ourselves on is keeping the trip price low and yet making sure people have an amazing experience.  We keep you safe, comfortable, and engaged…all while we take you to places a little off the beaten track (but don’t miss the tourist highlights).  And all in the framework of living and learning and having fun together.

Our trips are open to anyone aged 16 and above.

Educators are provided a certificate of attendance, including hours, CEU equivalents etc*
