Be part of the positive change
Travel can be a force for good. We offer you an opportunity to donate to local conservation projects that support the preservation and protection of the environment and wildlife in your destination. Together we are giving back to local communities and helping them protect what is threatened. Thank you for being part of the positive change!
How it works
1.
We have chosen a group of organisations and projects that we think are making a difference in the region you are travelling. Currently all these organisations are based in Finland as Finland is our main destination. We will add more projects in the Nordics & Baltics in the future.
2.
Either your ready-made tour price includes a donation of EUR 25 (around AUD 40) or we add a donation to your custom made tour if you opt in. We match your donation and donate in total EUR 50 (around AUD 80) to your chosen project.
3.
When you book your tour, you choose which local project to support. See the list of organisation and projects below for further information. You can also opt out, if you don't want to support any of these causes.
