Travel Responsibly, Impact Positively

Not only can you rest assured that this trip aligns with your desire to support cruelty-free activities, but you can also feel good knowing that the carbon created from the land-based portion of the itinerary will be offset and we’ve prioritized working with local businesses so more of your dollar stays in the destination. A portion of the profits from this tour will also support a local charity. 

If you’re a long-time vegan, just starting out, or coming along as moral support, Veggies Abroad is a fantastic way to travel safely, learn about a new culture, enjoy AMAZING food and meet wonderful people along the way. The hotels/resorts were very comfortable to relax in after a day full of activities. Rebecca was great at communicating and keeping the entire trip organized and fun. I highly recommend!
