Pioneers in Impactful Tourism

Making our mark with real impact in travel

Go beyond being a tourist — live and learn like a local. 

Since 1998, The Green Lion has been creating authentic, community-based journeys that make a real difference for both travellers and local communities. We design and operate every program ourselves, ensuring a seamless, high-quality experience with trusted support at every step.

Our trips go beyond typical tourism, combining cultural immersion, volunteering, adventure and wellness to foster personal growth and genuine connection. By focusing on impact, we offer travel experiences that gives back and helps you discover the true heart of each destination.
