I do not recommend this program
I do not recommend this program. My daughter went to Fiji last summer with Rustic Pathways and she was very disappointed. Relative to other trips my daughter has taken, this one seemed extremely expensive for what students got. The schedule was poorly organized with amounts of downtime with nothing to do, and not in a nice location that would allow, fror example, walking around on a beach. We were sent a single photo of all of the students on the trip which is pathetic, especially given the price of the trip. Other groups my daughter has traveled with have had someone taking photos all the time and posting them for parents. I think this organization is only good for very wealthy parents who have relatively young teenagers who want to travel abroad and be supervised. It provides poor value for the money. Parents pay a lot of money to subsidize quite a few young adults flying to Fiji supervising the flight, which my daughter definitely did not need. Also note that Rustic Pathway's Facebook page mysteriously deletes all past parents' reviews and comments. So if your child is going on a trip all you'll see are other new parents asking If anyone has a child going to Fiji in 2020, and so you don't get a sense of feedback on previous trips.
