Journeys With Purpose Reviews 

Last year I visited the Fagaras mountains in Romania with JWP. I was not expecting to be hosted all week by Barbara and Christoph in person! What an absolute delight and privilege to have that kind of access to this incredible project. A truly inspiring and uplifting week, impeccable organisation and a small group of likeminded travellers who were all totally engaged in the trip.

Journeys With Purpose is leading the way in redefining tourism. My trip was shortly after the pandemic, and just as New Zealand was opening its borders and I could travel again, and I noticed that as the sector’s recovery got underway, and building on unprecedented political and public recognition for how important tourism is, Journeys With Purpose was there to use it as an opportunity to rethink how we do tourism - putting people and planet first and bringing everyone from governments and businesses to local communities together around a shared vision for a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient sector. They're continuing to put this vision into action.

'Trip of a lifetime' is such an over used phrase, but in the case of Journeys With Purpose, it really rings true. I was fortunate enough to join their Argentina and the Iberá Wetlands experience. It was nothing short of incredible - I'd even go so far as to say it was transformative. Being completely immersed in this remote wilderness, so rich in bio diversity, immensely precious wildlife, previously in peril but now protected, was an eye opener - and an immense privilege. Hearing of all the challenges - and the triumphs - of rewilding Jaguars and other endangered species, firsthand from the people who continue to devote their lives to this initiative was both fascinating and humbling. As for being up close to a huge array of stunningly beautiful, magnificent creatures - it was simply breathtaking....

I have enjoyed some wonderful experiences with JWP on group trips and bespoke personal adventures. If you’re looking for a holiday with fascinating cultural immersion, meaningful engagement with nature and a lot of fun along the way - JWP will guarantee that for you.

We travelled to Romania to visit a new proposed National Park in the Faragas mountains. It was an exceptional experience. Katya Payne fromJourneys with Purpose was with us and was a delight to know.
Their planning and execution were superb.

Journeys with Purpose organised the most enthralling trip I can remember: so many highlights from bison tracking to the best (horse) ride of my life! We were led by outstanding scientists and conservationists and accompanied by Katya, always good humoured, endlessly accomodating and, quietly, extremely efficient.

Journeys With Purpose are an unusual company in that the travel 'holiday' experience is as well organised and luxurious as anyone could wish, but they also take great care over their own and the travellers' green credentials. Very nice people: highly recommended.

Our trip to Palau with Journeys with Purpose has had a great impact on my life. The company showed a deep passion for exploration and discovery, enriching our lives in many ways. We all gained new knowledge, appreciation and compassion for working with local organizations towards a common goal of conservation. Journeys with Purpose coordinated scientists from Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Island Conservation to enrich our experience allowing us to share in their research which inspired conversations with the experts related to pressing climate change issues and impactful solutions. I am forever grateful.

Our trip to Ibera in Argentina was truly spectacular. JWP put together the most amazing eco-tourism trip I could have ever asked for. Simply blown away with the experience, and look forward to the next one!

Wonderful trip. Words can't express, photos can't do justice. One hiccup with a cancelled flight, but the trip just felt so unreal that I was actually in Palau.

JWP provided a well-organized trip and its agents were very responsive to requests and questions throughout the entire process. I primarily interacted with Lara leading up to the trip; she was always prompt and patient in answering my questions, which were abundant.

Duncan, founder and CEO of JWP, accompanied us on our trip. He is clearly committed to the ethos of conservation while showing guests the rare natural beauty of the planet. And he’s fun!

As we head home from our JWP adventure we cannot say enough good things about Rebecca Cook and her team. We felt secure and in safe hands with their planning and oversight. We ran into a snafu thanks to Rwanda Air and Rebecca and her team at JWP handled getting us back on a preferred scheduled quickly and efficiently.
All their advice and hotel choices were just perfect. Personal notes and touches from Rebecca were at every site when we settled in which was lovely and reassuring that they were “ there” for us.
Our 16 day luxurious trip to Kenya and Rwanda was our best and most rewarding vacation ever.
We’ll be planning another with Rebecca and JWP.

Journey With Purpose (JWP) has arranged a couple of trips for me, with more planned in the near future, and each experience has been exceptional. What truly sets JWP apart is their extensive network of trusted local partners across the globe, including Norway, Spain, Germany, and Japan, to name a few.

JWP works closely with their clients and local resources to create thoughtfully curated, bespoke itineraries tailored to individual preferences. From recommending the perfect accommodations and restaurants to highlighting must-visit sights, their attention to detail ensures every aspect of the journey is seamless. The ability to access my itinerary conveniently through their app is another added benefit that enhances the travel experience.

What stands out most is the peace of mind JWP provides during the trip. Their team and local partners are available 24/7 to assist with any adjustments or reservations, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with JWP. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for their clients’ needs make every trip a memorable one. Thank you, JWP, for your outstanding service—keep up the fantastic work.

We recently travelled with Journeys with Purpose and have to give them 5 stars as they deserve 10! From start to finish, every last detail was taken care of and we felt so comfortable and well-prepared embarking on our trip. It was a group of 12 family members, including grandparents and toddlers, and Katya and her team worked tirelessly with us to make sure our itinerary was to everyone's liking, which is not an easy job!

If you are looking for stress-free, hassle-free travel and impeccable customer service, I would definitely recommend JWP.
