Accommodation

Reducing carbon

By nature our adventure travel style is relatively low carbon. Soon, on every one of our trips, you'll see 'carbon footprint' section where you can view the estimated carbon emissions per person arising from your spot on the trip and solutions to remove at least 2x more carbon from the atmosphere than enter it as a result of our trips.

Backing important conservation work

We work with non-profits, NGO's, conservationists, and activists to campaign on important issues, and design adventures that can make a difference.

Benefiting local communities

We're building sustainable economies in rural areas. Some of our biggest long-term impacts come from the model and trips themselves. By working with 100% locally owned, independent businesses, we ensure of every $100 spent, $95 on average goes into the local economy. The UN reports that that number is as low as $5 for typical mass tourism, which we think is plain criminal.
