Sun & Surf Safari Zakynthos

I booked a fantastic Sun & Surf Safari to Zakynthos through Life of Gini who arranged everything seamlessly. From a smooth parking experience at Schiphol Airport to a comfortable flight, the journey began well. My accommodation was perfectly located with a beautiful view of the sea and the turtle island. The highlights were the boat ride and the delicious food, especially the fresh octopus at Windmill restaurant. In short, a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, all thanks to the excellent organization of Life of Gini

Empowerment

Why GINI?

Empowering the overlooked

GINI creates purposeful travel experiences that elevate overlooked communities, such as bicultural individuals, queer travellers, and women, providing safe, representative journeys that offer visibility, respect, and empowerment, celebrating the value of true representation in travel.

Fostering belonging & connection

Through community-focused travel, GINI fosters a sense of belonging, ensuring every traveller feels seen, valued and connected. Our travel experiences build supportive networks, connecting people and cultures, for authentic, life-enriching connections.

Impactful & Inclusive Travel Experiences

GINI crafts inclusive travel experiences that embrace local growth and positive social impact. By partnering with local businesses and communities, we create travel experiences that are representative, culturally enriching, and designed to foster genuine engagement.

Purpose-driven social impact

Operating on a profit for good model, GINI champions sustainable and fair tourism. Our initiatives actively contribute to social impact goals, supporting equality, reducing inequality, and promoting economic growth within local communities worldwide.

Empowering Overlooked Communities

Inclusieve reiservaringen ontworpen voor over het hoofd geziene gemeenschappen zoals queer biculturele en mensen met toegankelijkheidsbehoeften. Met prioriteit voor veiligheid respect en toegankelijkheid geven we reizigers de kracht om de wereld authentiek en vol vertrouwen te verkennen. Elke reis zorgt ervoor dat iedereen zich verbonden kan voelen kan ontdekken en zich welkom voelt op bestemmingen wereldwijd.

Saamhorigheid en inclusiviteit bevorderen

Een reismilieu creëren dat diversiteit viert, zodat elke reiziger zich gezien en gewaardeerd voelt. Ervaringen bevorderen oprechte connecties en een gevoel van saamhorigheid, met inclusiviteit als leidend principe. Iedereen verdient een plek om vrij te verkennen, zichzelf te zijn en zich volledig geaccepteerd te voelen.

Impactvolle reiservaringen

Betekenisvolle reizen samenstellen die reizigers onderdompelen in lokale culturen en gemeenschappen. Gericht op authentieke ervaringen verbindt elke reis je diepgaand met de mensen en verhalen achter de bestemmingen. Meer dan sightseeing, deze reizen maken impact en verrijken levens en perspectieven onderweg.

Duurzaam & Eerlijk Toerisme

Toegewijd aan milieuvriendelijk, verantwoord toerisme dat lokale gemeenschappen ten goede komt en natuurlijke hulpbronnen behoudt. Door duurzame praktijken te ondersteunen en samen te werken met gemeenschapsgerichte bedrijven geven we prioriteit aan eerlijk toerisme. Gezamenlijk creëren deze inspanningen positieve, blijvende verandering terwijl we de ecologische voetafdruk minimaliseren en wereldwijde verbindingen versterken.
