"Revisit that place that says you're truly alive."

***** ALERT *****

Dear friends and associates,

I am currently the victim of identity theft and internet crime from a person in Nigeria that has stolen my email account and contact list.

Please be assured that I am fine and not in Africa in need of emergency funds. This is a scam; DO NOT send any money. You can contact me at my new secure email address: thomhenley@gmail.com

Thank you,

Thom

Expand your knowledge and global awareness as never before, and be part of a fun-loving family while doing it.

In Touch with Nature Education was established to provide high quality educational experiences in the outdoors, to expand environmental and cross-cultural awareness, and to bring a feeling of family and the delightful sense of fun to foreign travel.

Our logo, a rainforest tree within a bodha leaf, symbolizes finding peace, serenity and heartfelt connections in Nature.

"In Touch with Nature Education" originated in Thailand as "Thai Nature Education", but popularity and demand for more destinations have seen our educational programs expand into Laos, Nepal, Indonesia and even Canada.

"The world is our classroom".

In Touch with Nature Education provides experiences outside the traditional learning box, by taking students and educational providers to unique locations to expand their knowledge of cultures and natural environments.

In Touch with Nature Education tours are perfectly suited to student groups, teachers expanding their knowledge base, and families seeking a quality experience together. Come join us! You won't be disappointed.

What others say about us

"We would all like to say a big thank you for making the trip so successful. We learned so much from you. It made the trip not only fun and educational, but also an experience. The Thai staff created a real family atmosphere for us. It was as if we were part of a village, learning and playing together. These guys took care of the family and helped our kids experience so much; they made a positive difference in our lives. We loved it!"

Michael Lambert /Hong Kong, China

"Your tailored-made trip for us helped our family connect more deeply to our home, planet Earth. With you as our teacher we made new connections as well as new discoveries. You created a rich experience for us; it was the Discovery Channel, 24/7. Not just a virtual tour." ... continue

Lower Primary, Hong Kong International School

"I really am missing the trip already. I really felt as if we all were connected like a family. It's just such a shame that this trip was so short. I have learnt so much from you and Thai Brothers, and as a whole, this whole trip has left me inspired by something (something I still don't know what it is right now... I'm still just saying "wow"! in my head all the time!) "
Ewa United Nations International School, Hanoi, Vietnam

"Absolutely brilliant - fun, stimulating, challenging, thought-provoking AND educational - inadequately describes Reefs to Rainforests. Voted 'best ever Week Without Walls' by student participants every year"
