      About this trip

      The moment you step onto the porch of your overwater bungalow and gaze off into the blue sea flanked by green hills of palms, you will understand why nature-seekers come to Roatan to get away from it all. 

       

      Our home for the week is Anthony's Key Resort. An all-inclusive dive resort with pool, spa, full bar, and more. Don't let the word "resort" fool you. Here, there are no high rises with floors of cold, cookie cutter hotel rooms. Instead, there is a village of wooden bungalows cocooned in lush palms with adventure right outside your door. 

       

      Below the waterline, the resort is hugged by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the largest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere. From the time you plunge into the warm life-filled salty sea, you will wish you had gills to stay forever.  It’s home to thick, vibrant coral, playful dolphins, and varied marine life. Those who want to see the ocean at night, can take a guided night snorkel in search of nocturnal creatures like octopuses!


      The reef system here is fabulous for both snorkelers and divers on the same boat. Snorkelers can float over the shallow reef while divers can descend deeper along the reef wall.

       

      Near the key is a place where participants will spend a few hours interacting with the resident dolphins including a free swim with the pod! You will be surrounded by dolphins that choose how they interact with you. You will feel their chirps and clicks vibrating through the water, and hear the buzzing sounds they make as they talk to each other! 

       

      Topside, island tours will get you off property and introduce you to some of the local culture and sites like seaside towns and Maya Key. There will be visits to two different animal sanctuaries where will you will meet sloths and monkeys. A exciting adventure will be a thrilling zip line through the rainforest tree tops.

       

      This fun-filled week also has time for rest and relaxation during your free time. Swing in a hammock on your oceanfront deck, and feel the sea breezes. Enjoy the use of paddle boards and kayaks. Visit the spa for a massage. 

       

      This trip is open to women of all ages 18 years or older. Participants must know how to swim.


      If you would like to SCUBA add the Certified SCUBA add-on at no extra cost. Rental gear is not included.

      I signed up for the Greenland trip, paying little attention to anything other than the dates and packing list. Turns out, that’s the perfect way to approach Greenland - with the right gear preparation, an open mind and no specific expectations. Then, this mysterious country slowly unfolds in front of you with surprises (good and less good) around every corner. Tara and our experienced Icelandic guides planned a varied itinerary, aiming to expose us to the sights, sounds and all forms of ice East Greenland has to offer. But, curve balls abounded (mostly weather-related) — each one handled deftly and with humor, while keeping our group engaged and busy. This adventure requires flexibility, willingness to sometimes make do without creature comforts and a bit more physical stamina than some of Tara’s other trips. But boy is it worth it! We laughed, we cried, we oohed and aahed, and like most Green Edventures trips, we did it all with a group of badass women. Thank you for making this incredibly special experience happen!

      This trip was absolutely amazing for anyone who is a fan of nature. You get to spend tons of time either on or in the ocean, with many snorkels, scuba dives, and whale watching trips. You also spend several nights camping on a beautiful beach sleeping under a bed of stars. The exploration of La Plaz is also fantastic, with plenty of time to enjoy the city and it's history. I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves the outdoors, and I will definitely try and go back at some point.

      This was a great trip, especially for first-timers to Alaska. We enjoyed many of the highlights Alaska has to offer. Our local guide worked tirelessly to provide a good experience for all. Meals were healthy, tasty and clean. Accommodations were comfortable. The dynamics were positive and cooperative. All participants were of appropriate fitness levels for the activities. Our group leader set and maintained a positive and fun-loving atmosphere. Thank you, Green Edventures!

      I am 85 years old and checked with my doctor before planning this trip. He told me it would be the trip of a lifetime and that I should go. He was right, it was the trip of a lifetime. Traveled with a great group, met three African tribes, and saw a great many animals. The accommodations were great, and the food was good. So happy that I had this opportunity.

      This was an amazing, bucket-list, trip-of-a-lifetime type of trip! The local guide is the absolute best and makes sure you experience the best that Uganda has to offer. The wildlife viewing and the cultural experiences are second to none. You will be planning your return trip before you even finish this one! As always, the trip leader and the rest of the GreenEdventures crew also do a great job and make sure every detail has been planned and taken care of. I can’t recommend this trip or GE enough.

      I went on an amazing trip with Tara to Baja, Mexico in 2020. This was a dream trip for me being a wildlife lover. It was incredible to be able to swim with whale sharks and sea lions and get up close with gray whales. Camping on the beach was amazing. We had a great group of women and everyone vibed well and all of the tour guides including Tara, Alex and Chabello were so fun, friendly and helpful every step of the way. The food was great at the campsite and at the restaurants we got to try. When our trip plans initially got derailed waiting on a negative Covid test and we had to get a different flight, Tara did everything in her power to accommodate us and make sure we got to enjoy every part of the trip, including setting us up with another whale shark swimming tour after we had missed the initial one with the group, and she spent time waiting for us to finish before leaving for the airport. I definitely recommend Green Edventures, especially the Baja Mexico trip!

      I just returned from the Wisconsin Women's Tour and couldn't have asked for a better trip! For me, the amount and type of activity were perfect. Who know there was so much to discover practically in my own backyard?
