Volunteer Tourism in the Caribbean with Shore Trips

 SHORETRIPS INTRODUCES VOLUNTEER TOURISM

 
Salty Breeze Cruise Planners shore excursion partner has developed a great new program.  ShoreTrips GIVE is a new excursion product line of Caribbean volunteer tourism. Through this program, we can arrange a morning of charitable work for our cruising and resort-based clients who feel that giving back to the people of the islands is an integral part of a fulfilling vacation. Taking just 4 hours out of their vacation, travelers can give something back to the people of the Caribbean by getting involved in the local culture and feeling great about what they do. Eight islands will be the first to benefit from this endeavor.

ShoreTrips co-owner, Julie Karp, says “We have recently joined forces with Hope Floats, a non-profit organization based in Lodi, CA, that has a number of volunteer based activities already set up. We feel privileged to be able to work together because they are dedicated, as we are, to the well-being of the islands.”

Though each activity is about four hours long and held in the mornings to avoid the mid-day heat, ShoreTrips GIVE tours differ in content from island to island. For example, on St. Lucia, volunteers will help plant and maintain a small vegetable garden at an orphanage. On Aruba, travelers will be asked to read a story, in English, to a class at a local grade school.

Tours will be priced at $61 per person. ShoreTrips plans to include one charitable activity as an option in its Three Port Discount Package of Caribbean shore excursions. There will be no participant minimum requirements, meaning even a single travel will be accommodated. ShoreTrips GIVE is also available to groups up to 400 travelers.
