what parents say…
“OLA was awesome for my 14 year old son before going into high school. He had a blast going on epic cultural excursions and surfing amazing waves. I would highly recommend it for a teen. He didn’t know anyone before the trip but made friends easily with the whole group. We felt secure knowing he was with competent and compassionate group leaders and they guided us through the whole process.”
— Katie“OLA was an incredible adventure of a lifetime, and gave us a treasure trove of special mama-daughter memories! To travel together with other adventurous gals, to experience surreal and stunning natural sites, to walk amidst wild and remote Mayan ruins, and to refresh every afternoon in a clear blue cenote was so much fun! All were places that would have been impossible to find on our own. We loved every interaction with locals, off the beaten track gems, stories from history told my our sweet local guides, and all the care provided by our group leaders. We are forever thankful we could go on this trip!”
— Amanda“OLA was a trip of a lifetime for our 13 year old daughter. She had an incredible experience traveling into the deep jungles of the Yucatan, exploring Mayan temples and swimming in cenotes. The cultural experience shared with her peers is something she will never forget. With their years of experience, her group leaders provided an extremely unique, safe, organized and well-planned itinerary for the students. Definitely an opportunity you don’t want to miss!”
