A Life-Changing Experience for Our High School Students Our Spanish Honor Society just returned from a one-week, all-inclusive trip to the Dominican Republic, and it was nothing short of incredible. This tour was designed specifically for school groups, and every detail was perfectly suited to our high school students. Our guide, Jody, was phenomenal—organized, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. He kept everything on track while also making the trip fun, meaningful, and educational. The itinerary blended adventure, culture, and service in a way that truly made an impact. Students experienced unforgettable outings, including sliding down natural waterslides and visiting a monkey sanctuary. They also had the chance to serve the local community by helping clean and improve a school, which was a powerful and humbling experience. At some point towards the end of each day, we gathered as a group to reflect on the day—what we saw, how it made us feel, and what we learned. It gave students a chance to process their experiences and connect more deeply with what they were seeing beyond just the surface. Our meals were another highlight: all but two were authentic Dominican food, which gave the students a real taste of the culture. The other two meals, were Taco Bell and Wendy’s to give the kids something familiar. The accommodations were safe, clean, and comfortable, and being right on the beach added a peaceful, beautiful backdrop to the week. One of the most meaningful aspects of the trip was watching the students make real connections—not just with each other, but with people in the Dominican Republic. They came home with a broader perspective on the world and a deeper appreciation for different ways of life. This trip was more than just a school tour—it was a true life experience. I highly recommend this program to any school or youth group looking for something impactful, eye-opening, and unforgettable. -The Allen Family

We had a great trip to the Dominican Republic. The food was amazing and the trip was very well planned out for us. Jody did an amazing job at guiding and leading us.

We had a wonderful time. The beaches are beautiful.

I had a great time on my service project trip to Costa Rica with my school. The guides were helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. We saw lots of amazing wildlife and beautiful flowers and plants. The waterfalls, rappelling, horseback riding, and hiking were so fun. I can't wait to return to Costa Rica. Thank you Appleseed Expeditions for a wonderful time.

My Daughter had an amazing time. She is still talking about how fun the trip was. She can’t wait to return to Costa Rica.
