No. Earthwatch is a charity, but because our expeditions are the most visible face of the organisation, we are often misconstrued as an adventure travel, ecotourism, or ‘voluntourism’ company. Not only are we not-for-profit, our expeditions offer experiences that are very different from those of for-profit “tour operators.
