Planning a student trip abroad sounds exciting—until the logistics, forms, and pressure start piling up. That’s where we come in.

At Colibri Travel & Tours, we help educators turn big travel dreams into meaningful, smooth, and affordable experiences. Whether you’re planning your first trip or your fifteenth, here’s why so many teachers keep choosing to travel with us:

1. Stress-Free Planning & Free Travel for Teachers

We know how much educators already juggle. That’s why we handle the heavy lifting—so you can focus on your students and the learning experience.

Our team helps shape every detail around your goals and schedule. The best part? Teachers travel free when leading a group.

“As chaperones, you made our job so easy and allowed us to enjoy our trip so much more.”
Emma Shuster
Science Teacher, Beacon Academy

2. Affordable & All-Inclusive

Educational travel shouldn’t be out of reach. Our tours start at $2,995 and include everything—flights, accommodations, meals, curated experiences, and 24/7 support.

We’re committed to making authentic, impactful travel experiences accessible for more students, without cutting corners.

3. Trusted, Transparent & Supportive

You deserve a partner who communicates clearly, keeps promises, and shows up when it matters most.

When UMass Boston had to cancel travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, we stayed committed—working hard to ensure students were refunded.

“Colibri Travel & Tours committed to working with us above and beyond... I will never go through another company for future study tours.”
Sheila Fesko
Associate Dean & Director, UMass Boston

4. Real Learning, Not Just Sightseeing

Our tours are built around education. Whether it’s exploring history in Portugal or ecology in Costa Rica, we make sure students engage with the world in meaningful ways.

“We had a good balance of fun activities... along with things like visiting a struggling community that found a way to work together to improve life in the neighborhood.”
Lisa Todd
Spanish Teacher, Colorado Academy

We tailor itineraries to align with your subject, your students, and your goals.

5. Travel for Good

We believe in creating experiences that go beyond tourism. Our trips support local communities, promote cultural understanding, and create real moments of connection.

Because travel should leave a lasting impact—on students and on the world.

🎓 Spotlight: Augsburg University in Cuba

In January 2024, the Augsburg University Baseball Team traveled to Cuba with Colibri. While they played games with local university and high school teams, their journey went far beyond the field.

They explored Cuban history on guided tours, visited artist studios, rode in classic convertibles, and tasted the island’s rich culinary traditions.

“The trip was an incredible experience and an opportunity to learn about the Cuban culture and their love of baseball...We didn’t need to worry about anything.”
Keith Bateman
Head Baseball Coach/SAS Coach - Augsburg University
