Spotlight Partner
Tela Coral is leading the charge in coral reef restoration along Honduras' pristine coastline. Through innovative coral propagation techniques and community education programs, they're rebuilding the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—the second-largest coral reef system in the world.
Our partnership with Tela Coral goes beyond financial support. Retreat participants have the unique opportunity to dive alongside marine biologists, plant coral fragments, and learn firsthand about reef conservation. Every Honduras retreat directly funds their critical restoration work.
Investing in Local Communities
True sustainability means ensuring tourism dollars stay in the communities we visit. We prioritize local partnerships at every level—from accommodations to activities—so our retreats create lasting economic benefits for the people who call these places home.

Community Guides
Our guides are locals who know the land, culture, and stories better than anyone. They're certified professionals who earn fair wages and share deep connections to the places we explore.

On average, 75% of every guest investment supports the local community through our direct partnerships with locally-owned businesses, guides, and service providers & non-profits.
Cultural Support & Preservation
We believe the best travel experiences honor the places we visit. By choosing off-the-beaten-path destinations and practicing Leave No Trace principles, we protect cultural heritage while creating meaningful connections. Our destinations are chosen for authenticity over popularity—not mainstream tourist spots, but authentic places where local culture thrives and your presence makes a positive impact without overwhelming communities.
