Encounters With Purpose

In exchange for a donation to WWF New Zealand, you are taken out in search of native Kiwi birds – a wonderful nocturnal experience that most New Zealanders don’t even get the opportunity for.
Spinner Dolphin Conservation
Fund spinner dolphin conservation in Costa Rica and swim and observe mega-pods with marine biologists.
Hammerhead Shark Conservation
Fund hammerhead shark conservation in Costa Rica.
Your Legacy
A bespoke canvas for the extraordinary.
We do not sell pre-packaged tours. We architect transformational experiences tailored to your personal vision, drawing upon a global network of conservationists, scientists, and cultural leaders.
Whether it is funding a critical rhino translocation in South Africa or engaging in intimate dialogue with Indigenous elders in the Canadian wilderness, our journeys are rigorous, luxurious, and unequivocally profound.
Philanthropic travel: your questions answered
What is philanthropic travel?
Philanthropic travel is luxury travel built around funding a cause you care about, then seeing that work firsthand. With Impact Destinations, your journey includes a direct contribution to a conservation, cultural or community project, and private time with the experts running it.
How is Impact Destinations different from a luxury travel agent?
A luxury travel agent designs a trip. Impact Destinations designs a legacy: each journey is built around a project you fund, from rhino relocation in South Africa to jaguar rewilding in Argentina, with eco-luxury stays and private guides around it. We are a Luxury Travel Magazine Gold List winner 2024, Regenerative Tourism Experience.
Who is philanthropic travel for?
Families, couples and foundations who already give, and who want their travel to count. Most of our guests are legacy-focused travelers in their fifties to seventies, often traveling with adult children or grandchildren.
