Where Adventure Meets Education

At Educational Travel Services, Inc. (ETSI), we design immersive Costa Rica programs that go far beyond the typical vacation. Students explore one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems — from cloud forests and active volcanoes to Pacific coastlines and indigenous communities.

Our Costa Rica tours blend hands-on science education, cultural exchange, and unforgettable adventure. Whether your group is studying tropical ecology, participating in service learning, or simply experiencing life in a new culture, every day is packed with meaningful moments.

ETSI handles every detail — from flights and accommodations to local guides and safety protocols — so teachers can focus entirely on their students.
