What travelers are saying

"Having never done anything like this before, the staff at Rainbow Voluntours made sure I settled in well and supported me throughout. Being placed with an amazing family gave me the chance to experience Indian culture first hand and be apart of some great experiences that I will remember forever. For my volunteering experience, the staff made sure they customized everything to my strengths and ensured I got the most of your time. I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the disabled school in Fort Kochin and although short, felt the time I had was spent in a valuable and rewarding way. I also got the chance to teach English in a girls school whereby the variety in teaching was excellent. If this is something that you are interested in I would 100% recommend it smile emoticon The memories, friendships and experiences you will develop will be ones that you will never forget."

What travelers are saying

"I can honestly say that joining the GVI Turtle and Lemon Shark Conservation Project was the best thing I have ever done. It is an experience I will value for the rest of my life. Right from the very beginning with the field manual I knew this trip was going to be amazing but nothing can prepare you for how stunning it is. I remember one day, I was chilling in the hammock before dinner when I saw a juvenile Lemon Shark and a ray. I called everyone and we watched the shark almost beach itself on a few occasions. However the best experience for me was when I was lucky enough to see not 1 or 2 but 3 Hawksbill Turtles lay their eggs all in one day. It was magical. The staff were so knowledgeable and were always happy to help. I have learnt to cook food for 25 people with very limited cooking equipment and ingredients, loved every Friday BBQ night and made friends for life."

"I have just completed Guided Iceland Circle with driver/guide Bergsteinn. The tour was interesting and well paced. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Bergsteinn did a good job of providing interesting information, but not too much commentary. Completing the Ring Road is a great way of seeing the different facets of Iceland as each region is quite different. I would definitely travel with GJ Travel again."

"Amazing company! Very professional and organized. I always travel on my own with my own itinerary but felt that for Egypt I needed a guide. But I didn't want to join a large group. This was perfect. I travelled alone but felt very safe with this company. I did a 6-day package that included Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria. My guides were Youssa and Ali and they were both excellent, they made this an amazing trip. Even when we had to take a detour because of a flat tire, Youssa handled it very well and it didn't ruin the trip at all. Highly highly recommend this company!"

What travelers are saying

"BEWARE! This company was terribly disorganized in trying to plan our trip to Morocco. They did not book our hotels properly and could not provide the trip they promised and we had paid for. They did not know our flight information, and could not provide any details a week out as to who would be guiding us on our tour, etc. When THEY offered to provide a full refund given their mistake, we cancelled our trip and have been trying to get our money back ever since. They have blocked our calls and do not answer our emails. They keep promising the check and it is more than 30 days since due. This check is not coming to us. They have tried to convince us not to contact the credit card company (in hopes that the we wait too long and the credit card can no longer win a dispute). DO NOT BOOK!!"

Transformative Tour Selection Trips

  • Transformative travel may sound like a lofty term, but it really is one of the best ways to describe certain tours. Keep an open mind!
  • These kinds of tours are often challenging emotionally. You may find yourself in the midst of poverty, or learn about some devastating effects on local wildlife due to human activity.
  • Discovering and learning about different cultural perspectives is a key component of transformative travel. Ask a lot of questions and listen closely - you may be surprised as your perspective begins to shift.
  • Being out in nature is another key component on transformative tours. Reconnect with your soul on a fundamental level through outdoor meditation and invigorating activity.
  • The world today is very individual focused. Particularly younger people are used to maintaining their own world from their palm - across social media platforms and other apps. Transformative travel will present you with the unique opportunity to challenge this way of life and participate in a community atmosphere off the internet - both with your tour companions and with the people you meet.
