Travel Day
Arrival & WelcomeUpon arrival at the International Airport, you will be greeted by a Noble Adventurers Team Member. Relax and unwind as you are transported by private car or van service to the arrival night’s accommodations.
- Depending on your arrival time you can swim in the pool, relax, and refresh.
- Welcome Dinner Together! – We will kick off the evening learning about the upcoming adventures, service projects, and each other while we dine, sharing a delicious regional meal.
On this first evening, we find that folks are tired from travel but often wired from sensory overload. This is normal, so we hold space for this first night to be gentle with ourselves and decide what we need to become comfortable and rested for the week ahead.

It is also a developing nation, so things are always paradoxical - simpler and often more difficult. While we publish this schedule to give you a sense of how the days flow, please know my team and I will be changing things up along the way—all of it geared toward giving you the best experience ever.
