Why We Love It

Every Elevate Destinations trip is chock full of learning opportunities and giving back, but never skimps on stylish comfort. Custom-designed itineraries put travelers up in luxurious, eco-friendly digs and provide ways to learn about local customs, culture and the ecosystem through volunteer service. To top it off, 5% of the net cost of your trip will go to charities in the region of your travel to protect natural resources and develop the community.

You and your MTV-obsessed teens can watch camel races and dance to traditional African music at a three-day desert festival near Timbuktu. Or, perhaps your kids would rather snuggle with a sloth at the Amazon Shelter in Peru where the vacation itinerary includes helping care for endangered and poached species. If your dudes are all about catching waves during their time off from school, you can do that too with the “Surf & Serve” trip that combines learning to surf with teaching local children how to speak English. 

Family Vacay, Here We Come!

Personally, our bags are packed for a trip to La Paz, Mexico to help researchers catch and tag sea turtles off of a beautiful, white-sand beach.

Packages for these do-good, feel-good vacations start at $2,500 per person. To view the numerous packages available, or request a custom itinerary, click here.
