Ethical Holidays with a Difference


We offer small group and tailor-made ethical holidays, voluntourism tours and volunteering trips based on the appreciation and respect of the local environment and people.

 

We can show you some of the most beautiful and fascinating places in the world, handpicked to offer you an unforgettable experience, while also preserving nature and benefiting local communities.

 

Why travel with Go Differently?
Our experienced guides provide the knowledge and the introductions that offer you the freedom to explore off-the-beaten track, often to places that other tourists rarely visit - through stunning scenery, visiting fascinating monuments, parks and wildlife, sampling local dishes and staying in local family-run hotels and rural villages.

 

Imagine travelling with a friend who knows all the best, secret places to visit and the most interesting people to meet. Someone who can make all the arrangements, handle the hassle and all you have to do is turn up for the adventure. Go Differently is just that kind of friend!

 

We actively support responsible, ethical and sustainable travel through our business practices, encouraging you to do the same and also by contributing part of our profits to a fund which helps support local community projects in the destinations we visit.

 

Whether you already know where you want to go or you're looking for inspiration, the following pages are designed to give you an idea of the kind of trips we can offer... You can either search by country (Where We Go) or by holiday style (What We Do)... Then drop us a line and let's discuss...

 

We'll look forward to hearing from you!

We absolutely loved the trip - it is by far the best family vacation/adventure that we have ever had. I have been raving about your company since we've returned- your flexibility in planning according to our wishes, the blend of city/wilderness experiences, the authentic views of the country, the wonderful accommodations, great food, the excellent guides and drivers, very reasonable costs, and the amazing fact that everything happened without a hitch are among the reasons we will model all future family travel after this trip (and/or book through GoDifferently if possible).

New Ideas and Old Favourites

(The Perfect) Family Holiday NEW!

It's probably one of our most popular requests... a two week trip to include a few days sightseeing, some wildlife, some culture, maybe a bit of adventure... and finishing it all off with a few days on the beach... This itinerary has it ALL (and will also take you well away from the usual tourist routes for an unforgettable and unique experience)... (More)

Festivals in Bhutan
NEW!

BHUTAN, also known locally as Drukyul (Land of the Thunder Dragon), is one of the world's most exotic destinations. Located to the north of India and south of Tibet, it is the last Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom, with a breathtaking Himalayan landscape as a backdrop.

 

Bhutan has survived the influence of accelerated and thoughtless modernisation; which makes it one of the rarest and most unique of travel destinations.

 

If you are thinking of visiting this fascinating country then you should definitely try to plan your trip to coincide with one of the tshechus (festivals).
