GeoWandering Tours was founded by Philip Price, who uses his extensive experience as a geologist, traveler and conservationist to create experiences that are unattainable for most individuals.  Philip has spent decades honing a unique portfolio of skills, while unabashedly pursuing and sharing his passion for nature and conservation projects.  Philip has learned that his most satisfying role is to open people up the the presence of the natural world - to bring greater awareness to the "Now," and beauty of it all


Are you feeling somehow disconnected from your own life, like you're searching for greater meaning and purpose? Maybe you're yearning to explore where few in this world dare to adventure?


Many have found inspiration when staring in the face of landscape wonders of the world.  The forces of nature and scale of time is awesome to behold and contemplate, which allows opportunity to transform lives.  Sharing such wonders with people enables them to break free of the routine, the artificial, the unconscious life  that so many live.


GeoWandering tours helps to fill this void, and brings us great satisfaction.
