Our Sustainability Promise
Travel better. Travel Consciously. Travel with Purpose.
At Orca Adventures, we believe that travel should leave a positive impact - not just for travelers but for the planet, its wildlife, and the communities we visit.
That's why we've made a clear commitment: to promote and prioritise sustainable, ethical, and cruelty-free travel experiences. While we're happy to help you book any holiday - from weekend breaks to all-inclusive getaways - we especially encourage and promote travel that protects the planet and supports local communities.
💚
Protecting Wildlife -
No Captivity. No Cruelty.
Ever.
Orca Adventures was built on the belief that wildlife should remain wild. This means:
🐬 No captive marine shows or dolphin swims
🐘 No elephant rides or animal performances
🦅 No animal handling or staged interactions.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for any travel that involves animal cruelty or exploitation. You'll never see us promoting holidays that offer:
🚫 Captive dolphin or whale shows
🚫 Elephant riding or performances
🚫 Animal handling (like tiger selfies or petting)
Instead, we exclusively work with travel partners who offer wildlife encounters that are ethical and conservation-driven. Whether it's whale watching in the wild, visiting wildlife sanctuaries, or supporting marine conservation projects - we ensure that no animal suffers for tourism.
👉🏻 Travel should protect, not exploit.
🌱
Promoting Carbon-Conscious
Travel
Reducing travel's carbon footprint is a shared responsibility, and we're proud to partner with operators who prioritise sustainability. We consciously choose suppliers that:
✅ Use hybrid-powered or low-emission (like Hurtigruten's hybrid cruise ships)
✅ Offset carbon emissions through reforestation or conservation efforts.
✅ Reduce plastic use and implement waste reduction policies onboard cruises or land-based tours.
Our travel partners, like Virgin Voyages, Hurtigruten, and Explore!, lead the way in carbon-conscious, sustainable travel. This allows you to explore the world with less impact on the planet.
👣
Supporting Local Communities
Where possible, we love to recommend travel that gives back to the communities it touches. This is why we intentionally promote trips that:
✅ Partner with locally-owned accommodations, restaurants, and tour operators.
✅ Support local economies, ensuring tourism dollars stay in the community.
✅ Foster cultural exchange without exploitation.
Whether you're exploring Costa Rica's rainforests, Norway's fjords, or small remote islands, we'll always highlight options that create a positive and lasting impact on local communities.
👉🏻 Your holiday should empower, not exploit.
🚢
Promoting Sustainable Cruises
We understand that cruising can often have a negative impact on the environment, but that doesn't mean it has to. At Orca Adventures, we're proud to promote cruise lines that are leading the way in sustainability, including:
✅ Virgin Voyages - Carbon-neutral cruises with no single-use plastics and locally-sourced dininig.
✅ Hurtigruten - The world's most sustainable cruise line, pioneering hybrid-powered ships and minimising carbon footprints.
✅ CroisiEurope - River cruises focused on reducing waste, using energy-efficient technology, and supporting local communities.
👉🏻 Set sail, sustainably.

Travel That Leaves a Positive Impact
While we're happy to help you book any holiday, we're especially passionate about promoting:
✅ Sustainable cruise lines that reduce emissions and waste.
✅ Tour operators that protect local communities and wildlife.
✅ Accommodation that minimises environmental impact and supports local economies.
When you choose to travel ethically, you're contributing to a better future for our planet. And if you'd like guidance on the most sustainable options, we're always happy to help 💚
