Project Description
BlueXplorer.org is a Swiss based non-profit NGO founded in 2012, and works in parallel with BlueXplorer.com that offers educational expeditions to specific locations around the world. These expeditions, designed for and dedicated to nature enthusiasts, photographers, divers, students and schools, involve local projects and communities. BlueXplorer.org is supporting these projects and communities, among others, in providing them with financial support, necessary equipment, promotion and web site, and help them recruit volunteers.
The official fees indicated below go 100% to the project. BlueXplorer does not take any percentage or commission on any volunteer payment - Payments are to be made directly with the respective organisations.
Through an intricate balance between exploration, education, responsible and sustainable travel experiences, BlueXplorer.com offers unique travel destinations and opportunities to travel, explore, learn and interact with research and conservation projects.
We specialise in offering our explorers a unique travelling experience with local partners and NGOs with whom we collaborate. Responsible tourism offers incredible potential for a positive impact on some of our most pressing global issues: poverty, peace, education and biodiversity conservation. Responsible tourism means holidays that care about local communities and culture, wildlife conservation and the environment.
