We all know how important the sustainability of our planet & fellow human beings is. Support various social & sustainable projects with our trips and do something good for nature & people.
In order to do something good with your trip, you have the opportunity to support a social & sustainable project with all our trips. You will also find numerous tips on how you can make your trip ecologically, economically & socially sustainable (in the best possible way).We are aware that tourism (especially mass tourism) has or can have numerous negative effects on the environment & the host country. However, we are also convinced that gentle & sustainable tourism can have many positive effects. For example, it promotes international understanding or enables developing countries to generate foreign capital and thus improve living standards for the local population.
Plastic pollution in the world's oceans - an ongoing, topical issue that has been addressed by "The Ocean Cleanup" since October 2018. The aim is to minimize the numerous negative effects of plastic on our ecosystem (with more than 600 marine animals), on our health (through the indirect effect on the human food chain) and on our economies (annual financial loss of over USD 13 billion). Within five years, half of the accumulated plastic waste in the Pacific is to be removed. At present, this mainly affects the geographical region between Hawaii and California.
The crowdfunded project consists of the "System 001", an approximately 600-metre-long U-shaped float from which a curtain extending three meters into the water is suspended. The plastic waste collected in this way is collected by a ship and transported away to prevent it from breaking down into microplastics. The collected plastic can also be put to positive use afterwards, for example to build new roads. Various platforms and sensors make it possible to locate the system and communicate with the land. The automatic identification system (AIS) and radar reflectors make it visible to ships.
The Ocean Cleanup is our current project - donate something with your fitness trip - it's as easy as one click.

Play for Change is an international foundation focused on sports development with the aim of improving the lives of underprivileged children through the values of sport. In this context, Play for Change works with local communities in different countries to develop sports and education programs. The initiative provides access to play, learning and development.
In Bali, the charity primarily targets orphanages, street children, remote village families and children who have undergone surgery.
