GeoWorld travel specialises in geotourism. We run trips to the world’s most dramatic destinations, such as Antarctica, the Arctic and Wales, where the geology and landscape are explained. However geotourism is more than just the rocks and ice, it is about experiencing the whole geodiversity of a destination, which includes its biology and history too. Spectacular scenery normally goes hand in hand with incredible wildlife and fascinating human stories and our trips combine all of these things.
