Traveller Testimonials

But numbers only show a small part of our story. What we're most proud of are the individual people we have had the privilege to both support and learn from. Our mission at GOOD Travel is to inspire and empower travellers to transform the tourism industry into a force for GOOD, and we love hearing from our travellers about how their experiences with us have transformed the ways in which they view their role as travellers and global citizens.
"The ecovillage provided a big impact on me. Margarita, the manager of the village, was most informative about how it operates. I am now even more committed to organic produce and reducing my carbon footprint."

"I would describe the GOOD Travel Thailand Experience I recently went on as transformative. If being immersed in rustic culture calls you forth, this trip will engage and elevate your thinking, regardless of what you think right now."

"Our trip to Fiji was fun and educational for the kids as well as character building and deeply moving. I have been inspired to continue to travel in a way that will make a positive impact and I have found I can only do that well with GOOD Travel. What a beautiful thing to teach my girls. Thank you."
