Mission and Values
Ethical Tourism

- Optional International Medical Travel Insurance for each participant.

Commitment to Authenticity
Aurora Adventures by Dawn Feuerberg is committed to limiting the size of their groups and designing tailor-made excursions to allow for meaningful connections with local people and up-close encounters with nature. The importance of small groups adds to the success of Aurora Adventures customized programs. Through group travel, people are able to share their experiences, however, these are not “traditional” group tours getting on and off large buses. The groups that Aurora Adventures takes are small and personal designed to uncover the beauty and diversity of the region through intimate behind-the-scene tours that would often be impractical on your own.
Curated & Customized
Aurora Adventures, LLC creates customized reality tours, adventures, voluntourism programs for a wide range of groups and organizations. All programs are designed to uncover the beauty and diversity of the region through intimate behind-the-scene tours that would often be impractical on your own. Customized tours and excursions are tailored to each group’s needs and desires. Our programs and tours offer an alternative form of educational travel, exclusively tailored to the particular interests of your group. The Founder, Dawn Feuerberg, incorporates her personal experiences and long standing relationships abroad to create one- of- a -kind expereinces that provide rare opportunities for discovery that are unavailable to the casual tourist.
Voluntourism
The work that Aurora Adventures does is philanthropic in nature. Many of our programs help support sustainability practices in the local communities especially the indigenous communities we visit. The indigenous communities really need our help and often have government grants to start eco-tourism projects but not enough resources/ knowledge to bring them to fruition. Their old methods of earning a living ( like deforesting the land, hunting turtles for the meat & eggs ) are no longer possible and they are looking for new ways to earn a living that is not destructive to the environment. Many communities in this area have successfully improved their rural communities by forming eco -cooperatives. There are many more trying to do the same but need some guidance. Tours with Aurora Adventures and Dawn Feuerberg may include a volunteer component, whether it be one day or the entire focus of the travel abroad experience.

Dawn is a global events coordinator, master tour operator, Certified YTT Classical Ashtanga Yoga Instructor, Certified meditation teacher, mindfulness life coach, an avid surfer, a Spanish professor of 28 years and mother of two adult daughters.
Dawn has been leading tailor made adventures abroad since 1995. She thoroughly enjoys sharing her access and connections to extraordinary places, peoples and cultures. She has always been a seeker of the undiscovered and, from an early age, this desire to explore has also included the inner landscape of one’s own body, mind and spirit.
Her travels have taken her to many countries and cultures but they have also opened doorways to the sacredness of the human experience. She has studied with world renowned scholars of yoga philosophy, shamanic wisdom keepers and Himalayan masters.
In 2016 Dawn officially opened a new division called Aurora Sacred Events to offer meditation, breath-work, full moon ceremony, and yoga philosophy classes. It has been the most rewarding chapter of her life to not only create meaningful travel adventures but also wellness experiences that help others live more vital and resilient lives.
