Impact

Sustainability

At INTRO our commitment to a sustainable future is a key principle, and the driving force behind our Small Change initiative, which we launched in 2017.

As part of our goal to make a real positive impact to the environment, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 to plant 10 trees for every booking we received. And as a result we’ve planted tens of thousands of trees, aided reforestation, rehabilitated wildlife and reduced poverty in multiple local communities.

However we wanted to go even further and achieve true sustainability, so in late 2023 we began a new partnership with Path Net Zero to accurately measure our tours emissions, and Veritree to plant trees to offset those emissions.

We are now very proud to say that every INTRO tour is 100% carbon neutral.

Intro New Zealand Review

Had an amazing time in New Zealand with the tour, so much fun and met amazing people and made lots of friends. Sean was so much fun and the best tour guide I ever had. He was very knowledgeable about New Zealand and about Lord of the rings. Sean also brought great vibes to the trip making it so entertaining. Sean was also able to help with ongoing travel and put so much time and effort into planning peoples travels once they finished the tour. The hostels we stayed at were clean and nice and had great facilities. When going out and food was provided it was amazing quality.
