ECO Adventures is a company focused on staging outdoor, eco-based events. Events are generally team oriented and involve one or more sporting disciplines such as trekking, running, kayaking, swimming, mountain biking, fixed ropes, navigation and obstacle courses. While the physical aspect is a key component to their events, successful participation includes teamwork, strategy, planning and problem solving.

ECO Adventures introduced Adventure Racing into Trinidad in 2002. This multi-sport, team event has since grown in popularity with the staging of several races ranging from 3 hours to over 15 hours in duration; the annual North Cross Adventure Race, the Northern Traverse Adventure Race and the Island Raid Adventure Race.

ECO Adventures was also responsible for the course design, planning and event logistics for the inaugural BGTT Energy Challenge held in 2003.
