Small Group Trips


We believe travel can be transformative with the right ingredients: exploration, excitement, intrigue, awe, stories, shared connections with both nature and local people, and time for contemplation and reflection.

Our group trips are designed to include these elements and offer the chance to travel in the company of other open-minded adventurers, sharing new experiences, meeting interesting and inspiring people, being in nature, laughing over shared meals together, feeling safe and well cared for, relaxing, and taking time to reflect on our own lives.

Regenerative Travel

We’re fiercely aware of the volatile and uncertain world we are living in, and believe that tourism has a role to play in the essential work of reconnecting with our places, nature and each other. As travellers, we believe we have a responsibility to care for the people and places we visit. Regenerative tourism is about embracing this and travelling in a way that allows both travellers and hosts to thrive.

For our group trips, we’re proud to be partnering with GOOD Travel, a women owned and operated social enterprise with a mission to transform the travel industry into a force for good! We’ve co-designed this GOOD Awaits trip with GOOD Travel to serve as a unique example of how tourism can support regenerating people and places. 

 

 

How Our Trips Differ from Others

Designed to make a positive difference

You know that every element of our trip contributes to people and places. Sit back and relax while we take care of everything

We connect you with inspiring locals

We’ve spent years developing relationships and partnering with incredible people who are all working to regenerate their communities and places. You’ll spend time with these caring locals and see the world through their eyes. Our locals are what make our trips so meaningful.

We keep our trips small

Our maximum number of travellers is 12. You benefit from a highly personalised experience and gain access to experiences, places, or lodging that are not an option for bigger groups. You develop lifelong connections with your travel buddies

Testimonials

We were impressed with how much fore-thought (and continued thought) went into this trip. The amount of concern for the well-being of every person on the tour was exceptional. The quality of the accommodations and meals was top notch and the varied experiences on both islands were exciting and wonderful. The small companies you worked with made each adventure fantastic. New Zealand is as beautiful as everyone says it is and this definitely was a trip of a life-time!
