Overview

The Experience You Seek
There are those of us who wish to experience travel as something more personally fulfilling than a standard tour; More than watching the world through a glass window. Time to reconnect to the natural side of being human; To feel the wind in your hair and catch the scent of green forests.

Private Tours for Two Or More
Most people are surprised to learn that it is possible to offer private tours and vacations for as few as two people that are competitively priced. Worldwide Ecolodges offers private and independent tours for individuals and groups using local and lodge based guides. This means that you can have the nature tour or vacation of your dreams at a very attractive price. But it's still really more about the experience.

Go At Your Pace, See What Interests You, Ride in Comfort, No Compromise
Many low cost "adventure" style tours use local public services, which Worldwide Ecolodges terms "seat in bus." Lots of fun if you are 18 and nimble. Not so fun if you're 50 with a bad back. And, if you join a big group tour, you go where and when the group goes and you have no say in how long you stay. In a private tour, you go when it suits you and you see and do the things that interest you. You can plan to stay as long as you like. And Worldwide Ecolodges offers you the support of a local guide service that will provide any additional assistance.

Start Any Day and Save On Airfares or Use Your "Points"
Since your tour is private, you can also pick when you want to arrive. This gives you the freedom to choose your air carrier and take advantage of lower airfares. Many people also have loyalty reward points that they have a hard time using at certain times, so Worldwide Ecolodges’ flexible programs give you that option. If your travel dates are flexible, you can also avoid the high season crowds. Save money and get more personal service.

Ecolodges: Comfort with Conscience
Forget cold, wet camping. Think comfy bed in a private room with en-suite. Think fresh local foods, wine with dinner, creative cuisine. Think expert local guides and a range of activities, from bird watching to zip lining. This is a modern ecolodge - the nature explorer's equivalent to the all inclusive resort. But these ecolodge tour programs are more than great hospitality. Worldwide Ecolodges has been providing ecologically conscious vacations since 2002 and has become formally recognized in 2008.

Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Tourism Program – Supporting Local Tourism Suppliers
In 2008 Worldwide Ecolodges signed an agreement with the Rainforest Alliance Organization to support sustainable tourism in the Americas. Rainforest Alliance provides training in best practices in sustainable tourism in several countries in the Americas and assists local suppliers to become regionally certified. This program is similar to their very successful efforts with sustainably grown coffee, tea, cocoa and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) wood products. Look for the Green Frog logo. (Worldwide Ecolodges’ brochure is printed on FSC sourced paper.)

Tour Planning -- Old School
In an era of internet bookings and text messaging, Worldwide Ecolodges still likes to talk to people. You can learn more about them and it helps them to better plan the best trip for you. You can call, email or skype them and they’ll be happy to assist you.
