  • If, like us, you love travelling - but hate the environmental impacts - we've got the perf solution for ya ✨

Ever dream of flying off in search of adventure, discovering all the world has to offer, yet worry about your carbon footprint? Us too. 

It can be hard to do much of anything without pondering the environmental impacts of our actions - and when it comes to travel, that’s where Contiki jumps in.   

Carbon neutral & thrivin' 

Did you know that since January ‘22, Contiki has made the transition and gone completely carbon neutral? And no, it's not too good to be true!

From sunning yourself on the idyllic beaches of Thailand to cute adventures on a Vespa in Italy, the cost is on them. But what does going carbon neutral actually mean?

The future of travel

Carbon neutral means that any CO2 released into the atmosphere from a company's activities is balanced by an equivalent amount being removed. 

With that in mind, Contiki has worked hard with Synergy Enterprises to build a customised Trip Carbon Calculator to make sure you get the experience of a lifetime without hurting our planet. How good?

But which parts of the trip does it actually cover?

The calculator measures emissions associated with their trips from the moment you arrive at the trip meeting point to the minute you say goodbye to your new friends.  That means they cover all included transport apart from your international flights - like shuttles - as well as your accommodation and meals. Pretty cool, right? 

Which trips are carbon neutral?

Contiki is working to build a sustainable future - which is great for people like you who love to explore and adventure. We bet you’re wondering exactly where you can travel carbon footprint-free, right?

The good news is, absolutely all of their trips are carbon-neutral! Meaning there are heaps of options to choose from. Fancy gallivanting around a fun-filled Europe? Or perhaps embarking on a life-changing trip to Africa? 

Maybe the rich culture of Asia takes your fancy, or the diversity of the USA. Whatever adventure you choose, Contiki can deliver carbon-neutral goods for every trip.

How can I get involved?
