With the great success of our programs to Costa Rica and Hawaii's Big Island, we're thinking big!
We're now offering winter and spring break trips, to our warmest, most tropical destinations. They also happen to be our most popular. And offering trips in the winter and spring months mean more opportunities for students and adults to witness some amazing natural wonders with Earth Explore.
Earth Explore is expanding the opportunities students (and adults) will enjoy on each of our most popular trips with new and exciting activities. On our Hawaii trip, our students will venture close to the latest lava flows coming off of the new vents in the very active East Rift Zone of Kilauea. Our first students there raved about the experience! As we do this activity in the evening, the glow of lava is one of the attractions that make this a life list experience! We are also heading up, way up, Mauna Kea for a look at the heavens. Our students reach more than 9 thousand feet when they go stargazing on Mauna Kea, literally within sight of the world-class telescopes on the peak at more than 13 thousand feet! Our guides make some pretty big scopes available as well...12 inch and larger. Since the site is above the clouds, away from the lights, and at a high elevation, the seeing conditions are remarkable. Computer guided scopes allow our students to see first-hand celestial objects they would never witness otherwise.
In Costa Rica, our opportunities for witnessing green sea turtle nesting along the Caribbean coast are better than ever, as we are offering trips in July that take place at the height of the nesting season. Literally hundreds of turtles haul themselves up the beach sands to lay their eggs. Our guides are local experts whose job is to protect the turtles, and get visitors up close with these noble animals...which encourages conservation. The experience of standing on a dark, warm, and breezy tropical beach, while a mother sea turtle lays her eggs just feet away, is nothing short of awesome. Again, another life list opportunity.
See you in the coming year!
