Experience the Maldives beyond its resorts, with a choice of three special conservation snorkel cruises.

Each cruise has a specific wildlife focus:

- Whale sharks, in partnership with the Whale Shark Research Program
- Manta rays, in partnership with the Manta Trust
- Turtles, in partnership with the Olive Ridley Project

In a small group of no more than 12 guests, you’ll explore the islands above and below the surface – embarking on wildlife-rich snorkel safaris, and gaining insight into Maldivian culture and the marine environment – led by local guides and conservation experts.

You’ll have the opportunity to give back in positive, practical ways – contributing to research carried out by marine NGOs and participating in a beach clean.

And of course, there’s time to simply relax, swim, enjoy delicious local cuisine and a beach BBQ, and take in the spectacular views…

As beautiful as the many beaches are, they're just one reason to fall for the Algarve...

Our small group walking holidays explore a superb network of trails across this southern region of Portugal – think clifftop paths and fishing villages along the coast, and peaceful cork forests, olive groves and lavender fields as you head inland.

This is not your usual nine-day tour of Morocco.

Local guides will get you under the skin of each place you visit: stay overnight in a Berber camp in the Sahara Desert, explore the tanneries in Fez, share mint tea with a local family, and visit an Argan oil cooperative in the High Atlas mountains.

From £849pp excluding flights. 9 days.

Our partner for some of our most adventurous, off-the-beaten-track holidays is passionate about getting to the heart of the places they visit. You won’t find cookie-cutter itineraries here, instead highly personalised experiences that only a small, independent company committed to responsible tourism and the people they work with can craft.💚

Travel with them to Nicaragua as a lesser-visited alternative to popular Costa Rica - with 30 years' expert knowledge of Latin America they know the best places to explore. Or to Rwanda where they work with community projects like ‘Homespun’ - a local women's cooperative who skillfully create contemporary and traditional clothing.

⭐️Book one of their small group or tailor-made tours through Responsible Travel – like the one below – by the end of January 2025 and get £100 off your booking. Simply quote code PE1002025.⭐️

Next year marks our 25th birthday! We were the world’s first responsible holiday company - founded on a simple premise: that holidays should benefit the people and places they visit - and those which did so were more enjoyable. Every day, we receive proof of that in your wonderful reviews.

As ever, we’re working hard to reduce carbon emissions, and maximise the benefits of each trip for local communities and nature. And with 6,000 richly varied holidays across 180 countries, you’ll never be stuck for exciting ways to explore the world with us, that also do good.

Thank you for travelling with us over the years - we look forward to many new adventures ahead. And we’d love to see you at Destinations Travel Show in London next month.

In the meantime, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas. 🎄

- Justin, Founder & Executive Chair, Responsible Travel
