About Gondwana Ecotours

We were founded on a simple but powerful idea: that the most meaningful adventures don’t just take you somewhere—they connect you with something greater. With nature. With people. With purpose.

From the start, we’ve done things differently. We go beyond sightseeing to create immersive, small-group experiences that bring travelers face-to-face with the world’s wild beauty and cultural richness. Whether it’s watching the Northern Lights dance across an Alaskan sky, sharing a meal with a local family in Costa Rica, or listening to stories from a Maasai guide in Tanzania, our journeys are designed to forge real relationships—between guests, hosts, and the land itself.

But unforgettable moments are only part of the story. What drives us is impact. Every trip we run is built on deep partnerships with local communities, respect for ecosystems, and a commitment to sustainability. We’re carbon-neutral, intentional about our choices, and focused on making sure our presence leaves things better than we found them.

Our team is passionate, kind, curious, and grounded in integrity. We don’t just lead tours—we cultivate trust, celebrate diversity, and stay humble in the face of the extraordinary places and people we encounter.

To us, travel is about sparking change within ourselves and in the world.

That’s the Gondwana way.
