Look after the planet with every trip you take
Travel by train, boat and bus.
We’ve built adventures that don’t rely on flights, and we stand by the principle that travelling through the world is better than flying over.
Rail travel accounts for just 14g of CO2 per passenger mile, dwarfed by the 285g generated by air travel (Energy Saving Trust, 2018). You could get the train from London to Edinburgh five times and your carbon footprint would still be lower than if you flew there.
What is slow travel?
Slow travel is a mindset. Sustainability over speed and quality over mass tourism. It brings tourism spend to the communities seeking it and keeps the environmental footprint of travel down.
Cut your carbon
Opting for overland travel cuts carbon by 90% vs flying. Taking trains, boats, buses and bikes helps combat climate change while still enjoying travelling.
Love the journey
Choose enjoyment over speed, making the journey part of the holiday. Take the scenic route and embrace the serendipity of what you might find.
Go local
Avoid overtourism hotspots and chains. Select accommodations, restaurants and experiences that are locally run, locally loved and sustainable.
