Adventure Travel with a Positive Impact

Thinking about the Earth and your impact on it while you explore is something many travelers ponder these days. Sustainable travel may be the industry’s latest buzz words but many locations around the world are already "green" – saving energy and resources – simply by offering experiences in remote destinations, such as andBeyond’s Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa or Mombo Camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

In Rwanda, you can go gorilla trekking while also helping to protect the animals' mountain habitat for generations to come. The revenue generated from tourism helps foster a thriving local community, supporting the fight against poaching and promoting sustainable practices.

For something closer to home, why not visit Hawaii? The islands are asking visitors to "Mālama," or give back, by learning more about Hawaiian traditions and culture. Spend time meeting the locals and hearing the legends while planting native trees and flowers or take part in a cultural tour of the native Loko Ea Fishpond.

If your crew is ready for an unforgettable outdoor adventure in Costa Rica, why not combine a trip to the beach and jungle with a hands-on visit to the Costa Rica Wildlife Rescue center? This is a unique opportunity to witness the rehabilitation of orphaned animals and those rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, and even participate in feeding and learning about a variety of species, including sloths, monkeys, kinkajous, macaws, owls, and leatherback turtles. The surrounding jungle provides an ideal setting for an exciting hike or wildlife-spotting expedition.
