Community:
Our tour leaders are instrumental in uncovering the wonders of the area you are travelling to. Whether it be explaining the flora and fauna or introducing local history, customs and culture; they ensure that your experience of Brazil is rich and colourful. As well as learning about and respecting local people, we also like to be an economic benefit to them. We do this by using locally owned hotels, spreading our business to a variety of local restaurants (which is a great way to sample delicious Brazilian food!)
Environment:
We aim to support conservation wherever we can on our trips. On a basic level, just by travelling to the Amazon Rainforest, we are promoting an alternative to deforestation as a way of making a living in this threatened area. We also include visits to conservation initiatives such as the “Monkey Jungle” - an important primate rehabilitation centre in the rainforest, and a sea turtle conservation project in Praia Do Forte. We and our suppliers work to a strict Responsible Tourism policy to ensure we minimise our impact on these fragile environments.
We support a variety of charities and projects worldwide which support vulnerable communities and habitats including Friends of Conservation, Hope Worldwide and Send A Cow. We are also actively engaged with UK travel industry bodies which promote best practice in responsible tourism, such as Tourism Concern, The Travel Foundation and AITO. Our commitment to responsible tourism is not limited to our overseas operation and we have measures to ensure our UK office operates according to our responsible tourism policy. Carbon offsets for all flights booked with us are included in the tour cost.
This small group operator is just celebrating its 30th year and was originally set up to enrich people’s lives through adventure travel. They find the family travel experience is very popular and groups gel together quickly. Taking your children to local communities creates an instant fascination and can be a natural ice-breaker. Family adventure holidays can offer an opportunity to learn about other lifestyles and break down barriers. There is great advantage to spending time together, doing things you would never normally consider, as opposed to taking a package holiday where your children are separated and sent off to their own area.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
