At Wilderness Private Travel, sustainability is not an initiative – it is fundamental to how we design and deliver travel. Since our very beginnings in 2001, we have operated with a clear belief: that exceptional travel should actively contribute to the conservation of the landscapes, communities, and cultures it depends on.
Every journey we create is shaped with this in mind, from minimising impact to supporting local economies and creating meaningful connections between guests and place.
Through our Wilderness Conservation & Community Fund (WCCF), we directly support a carefully curated portfolio of environmental and community-led projects within the UK and Ireland. This may include financial contributions as well as hands-on volunteering from our team. Combined, this work ensures our impact on the landscape and small communities is both measurable and enduring.
For our travel partners, our genuine commitment to sustainability embodies confidence. You can be assured that your clients’ journeys are not only thoughtfully crafted by our custom trip designers but responsibly delivered by our destination hosts, who take our sustainability commitment to heart. Together, this aligns with the expectations of today’s discerning traveller.
Our approach has been recognised internationally, including multiple World Travel Awards for Best Green Tour Operator, and a long-standing Gold accreditation from the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
We believe that travel, when done well, should leave a place better than it was found – and create a deeper sense of connection for those who experience it.
