When choosing their next school trip, more and more schools are prioritising a destination where they can minimise their negative environmental impact and maximise the benefits to the area that they visit. Most importantly, we know that teachers are hunting a location that allows students to learn more about the world around them and encourages them to engage with conservation and preservation.

We’ve created 5 itineraries that demonstrate different types of responsible school trips. Plus, each itinerary details the cost to carbon offset the return flights for the trip. Which one will your school choose?
