That is what Exodus Travels was founded upon over 45 years ago, and what the company is still all about. Discovering countries, cultures, environments, cities, mountain ranges, deserts, coasts, and jungles; exploring this amazing planet we live on.
Exodus knows what makes you tick when it comes to holidays. It’s a desire shared by so many others: a yearning to visit new places and come home with a real sense of what they’re all about. This means delving into local traditions, cultures, cuisine, lifestyles – anything that contributes to its unique identity. At the same time, they always remember that they are only guests. Exodus travels courteously and respectfully, in smaller groups to minimize the impact, to ensure that every itinerary is a beneficial experience for everyone involved.

Corporate Social Responsibility
The Exodus Travels Foundation was established in 2019 to build upon decades of support by Exodus Travels for community-based social impact and conservation projects worldwide. The foundation allows them to expand their vision of harnessing the positive power of travel for the benefit of the people and places they visit.
Thanks to the generosity of clients and partners, as well as the extensive and dedicated global networks, the foundation can provide support for various transformative community empowerment and conservation projects in their destinations across the globe.
MISSION
The foundation's mission is to improve life through travel, particularly in hard-to-reach places.
FOCUS AREAS
The foundation focuses on two main areas:
Community empowerment: This involves creating more employment and income generation opportunities through tourism for disadvantaged, underrepresented, and hard-to-reach communities.
Conservation: The foundation engages destination communities in efforts to protect and recover wildlife and ecosystems, while also striving to reduce human-wildlife conflict.
Additionally, the foundation also provides disaster relief across their destinations when needed.
The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.

The holiday of a lifetime. The company is Alaksa-owned and thhat makes a big difference to the experineces you get i.e. meet genuine First Nations tribes people. The amount of wildlife was beyond my expectation, and seeing everything on sucha small, intimate boat made it even more spoecial and unique.

Adventure Life covered all the details in planning our trip to Ireland. Any questions we had were answered immediately. Any trip glitches, which always happen when traveling, were resolved immediately. There were no worries, just fun!

It was an outstanding, up-close, educational vacation of nature, culture, history, animals and geology! It was everything they promised! Binoculars were plentiful on the boat, but I'm glad I brought my own. Food was excellent. Rooms had black-out shades. Pack/wear multiple layers of clothing (I carried a small backpack when off the ship). Crew were delightful and very accommodating! Remember to jump FEET FIRST first when taking the optional polar plunge! Spend as much time outdoors as you are able and ENJOY!!!

Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.
