Responsible Travel in The US, Canada and The Caribbean

Norman, Elan and Alex (and all the Excursionist team) share the same belief and vision for what travel can and should be. It isn’t always easy in North America, for every area where there are phenomenal, world leading responsible options in place (and they are getting better every year), there are some destinations that just don’t have them, or they have not been prioritised.

Companies that work with the Excursionist team know that they are very clear about what they will offer and what they won’t, and as a natural outcome of who they are and how they want to operate Excursionist has created and developed options, and promoted, supported and championed responsible travel partners.

Whether this is working with nature and conservation partners, joining them and supporting their efforts – such as working with:

Marine biologists in Oahu, Hawaii; Sarasota, Florida; Saint Andrews, New Brunswick.

Foresters and ecologists in Woodstock, Vermont; Sequoia/Kings National Park, California; El Yunque Rainforest, Puerto Rico.

Zoologists in Churchill, Manitoba; Lafayette, Louisiana; Colorado; Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming; Bella Coola Valley, British Columbia.

Directly supporting museums and organisations that do great work within their fields - The Monterey Bay Aquarium; The Yosemite Conservancy; The American Museum of Natural History; The Canadian Museum of History; The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia.

And they are very proud of the connections they have within the indigenous American groups across all of North America, ensuring they work directly with the right people and that money stays in the area supporting the communities.

They have been building these into their trips over the past decade, but if you would like any more details, they are always keen to discuss them.
