Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
Planet
By combining hiking and kayaking, the activities on this adventure are people-powered and planet-friendly. Instead of offering a popular cruise on Lake Powell, we offer kayaking to be as low impact as possible. Visiting some of the USA’s most beloved national parks means that the included entrance fees are fed back into the conservation of these parks. Your visit will leave no trace and rubbish will be taken away, and you will be encouraged to carry a refillable water bottle with you on your travels.
People
Really get to know the places you explore by traveling with a local American guide, eager to show you what they love about their part of the country. See a different side to the iconic Monument Valley when you tour the area with a local Navajo guide. Learn about the native land of the Navajo Indians and its cultural and spiritual significance. After your tour, learn more about Navajo culture when you sit down to a traditional, family-style Navajo lunch.
