announcing our summer 2026 Journey down under!
JUNE 2026 - Join us for a truly epic adventure in NEW ZEALAND and AUSTRALIA! The North Island of New Zealand will introduce us to this volcanic ocean paradise. We’ll connect with the Indigenous Maori culture in Rotorua, and explore the geothermal power of the earth. In Australia, we will head for Sydney first, with its scenic harbor and tour of the Sydney Opera House. Then it’s off to the north, for the Great Barrier Reef! We will also explorre Kuranda, get hands-on learning on Aboriginal hunting skills, and walk within the Pamagirri Rainforest. This tour is guaranteed to show our Colorado students entire new environments and cultures while feeling comfortable with familiar language. This means lots of great questions get asked and answered!

It doesn’t get much better than a Tuscan to-do list: Bike along cypress-lined city walls, take leisurely strolls through hilltop towns, and cap each meal off with a glass of Chianti. On this small group Adventure Tour in the heart of Italy, you’ll find yourself eager to say “check, check, and check” as you discover hidden corners of Tuscany (like Maremma!) where time seems to stand still.
This tour will be ran by Go Ahead Tours, the adult branch of EF. Since this is an adult trip, we will not be in charge of any young people on tour like our youth EF trips. Families are still welcome to join, and anyone under 18 will be the responsibility of their traveling adults.

Magical Thailand! Visiting elephants, taking river boat rides, walking to waterfalls, biking through ancient ruins, taking Rickshaw rides to Night Markets…and that’s just a tiny patch of the mosaic of wonder that is Thailand. The natural beauty of the country is spectacular, and a real world away from what our Colorado students know. From the karst mountains of the north to the tropical beaches and turquoise sea to the south, Thailand is a paradise. Yes, a hot paradise - be ready to sweat! The warm and welcoming Thai people are happy to share their Kingdom with us, including the Buddhist temples with golden statues, and the BEST food. Having lived and traveled in Southeast Asia, I (Claudia) am so excited to offer this tour to our students. It’s a real education in a culture that is truly different and so full of beauty.
