Charity challenges are ideal for people who don’t only want to travel responsibly, but also want to give that little bit extra and help contribute towards a favourite charity. All the charity challenges featured on this page are either run by charities, or contribute a significant proportion of the cost of the holiday to a good cause.


These full and frank independent Charity challenge holidays reviews are from travellers who have booked directly through responsibletravel.com. They are not edited by us or any of the companies we work with. Find the real story, from real travellers below.

Most memorable? Hard to choose. Obviously, the magnificent view of Machu Picchu, as we arrived, but the welcome we had from the people in the villages was wonderful.

Most memorable was setting out v. early a.m for the summit and watching the light come up as you see what you've just climbed in the dark!

Every day of the walk offered something different - 5 very different challenges - the wild wall was definitely more challenging than the reconstructed and the feeling of having it to ourselves was marvellous.

Most memorable was cycling through the paddy fields in Vietnam - something few tourists would normally see in Vietnam... Very well organised & good local guides with excellent knowledge... Already looking for a new challenge to work towards and more countries to experience.

On the positive side the final day's cycle was the the most memorable, as the scenery was amazing. There were also a few evenings of accommodation which were great...Had a wonderful time and would recommend to others.

Challenging to the extreme but rewarding - as I also visited a sponsored child so the trek as well as the visit made an excellent combination.
