Offset carbon emissions with Tucan Travel and World Land Trust
Like you, we’re very concerned about the impact that travel has on the environment. This year Tucan Travel has created a Carbon Offset Scheme in partnership with international conservation charity World Land Trust. For a small donation you can offset some of the carbon emissions created by your tour and we will donate 100% of all funds collected directly to WLT. Read more
More information about Tucan Travel
Our escorted group tours are very affordable and specially designed to show you all the highlights of a destination with plenty of free time so that you can explore on your own. Independent packages are great for travellers who want to fit shorter tours into their own itineraries - for example most stopovers include transfers, city tours or day trips, and accommodation.
Whether you're looking for an inexpensive gap year adventure, either to trek the famous Inca Trail or visit the mysterious Nazca Lines, to marvel at gorgeous Lake Titicaca or explore a trail through the Amazon Jungle, learn Spanish in Guatemala or experience the frenetic energy of Bangkok, there's a holiday for you. Backpackers are always looking for adventure so we offer a wide variety of destinations to suit your budgets. From the tea plantations of Malaysia to the Great Wall of China, the cathedrals of Eastern Europe to the mosques of the Middle East, from the wildlife of the Masai Mara to the vineyards of the Garden Route in Southern Africa, there's exciting adventure travel experience for anyone. And if you prefer want to see wild areas of the world but still have your creature comforts, Expedition Cruises in the Galapagos Islands and in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil offer an element of luxury, with first-class vessels and wonderful service.
