In addition to traveling, making a positive impact is of course a very nice combination. This is no longer a utopia but has become a simple reality. In collaboration with Positive Impact Tourims we have put together very special and impressive experiences. On these experiences, a more meaningful exchange takes place between you as a traveler and the location you are visiting. We do this in different ways with hands-on activities that are not only great fun to do, but also beneficial to your local hosts and the natural environment.
