“The service component & the need to function as a team member really gave my daughter some improved life skills, though I don’t think she was expecting that! Overall, she came home with great memories, more confidence, and as a more well-rounded person and citizen of the world. The program seems very dialed in….the processes are very smooth, and I felt confident that my daughter would have a good, safe experience.”

“My Daughter came back more empathetic toward others and environmentally conscious, as well as very grateful for everything she has, after seeing how others lived on the islands. She thanked me multiple times for sending her and could not stop talking about the trip - for hours and hours. She seems more mature and looking into the future - more travel, etc. ”

“All aspects of the trip were well organized, communication was good. My daughter had a great experience. Anna had a worry-free trip to complete service, was exposed to cultures and living conditions very different from her own, while being guided by leaders who could support and encourage her to gain the most from the experience possible.”

“My child loved this experience! I was very impressed with your company. We did not know much about Go Beyond before her trip. I appreciated how organized you were in the pre-planning before she left. ”

“In every aspect of working with your program I have found the staff professional and friendly. The program itself mixes just the right amount of community service, adventure, and fun. I always knew Christian was safe and never worried. The blogs documenting their experience was a fun way to follow along and stay excited about what they were doing. ”

“My son loved the trip, the friends he made and the impact he had. ​The program was well run and organized. We had the itinerary ahead of time of the various locations. It had a wonderful effect on my son and opened him up to new experiences. ”

“Very organized and professional. Gives kids just the right amount of independence. I am very confident by now, after 4 trips, that kids are in good hands and will have life-changing experiences. ”

“Hannah had an outstanding experience on her trip. The office staff was great. I called with many questions and they were quick to respond and always had answers. GoBeyond has the right balance of service and tourism on their trips. The guides/mentors are experienced and knowledgeable.”

“New friends, learning about a poorer side of life, adapting to smaller living, learning about and how to preserve marine life...I could go on. 100% yes. To see life from a different perspective, work hard and be thousands of miles from home, but still enjoy it and have a wonderful time!!!! Great job GoBeyond. This trip was 10 out 10 for my daughter, thank you. ”

“My daughter had an amazing experience. The travel was safe and easy and well organized. The staff was great. Jessie felt that she personally made an impact on the children she taught, the community she helped to rebuild and the marine life. The ability to form friendships and strong bonds with people you've never met. Invaluable experience. ”
