From Library Journal
The author, a contributor to Travel & Leisure and Discovery , gives a fairly detailed description of tours that provide the traveler with a variety of ecologically sound wilderness experience. For each journey he lists travel mode, accommodations, cost, duration, and time of year available. The trips are divided into categories: Safe Thrills, Comfortable Wilderness, Family, Raw Adventure, Not Ordinary Trips, and Special Needs (for those with physical disabilities). They are then listed by continent and country. Although it purports to be a world guide, the book does not mention any trips in Europe or Australia. A list of tour operators, with addresses and telephone numbers, is included. This useful guide is recommended for most travel collections.
