Haribon Travel provides a holistic learning experience to participants through immersion in Haribon communities working in terrestrial areas through Haribon Green Travel and coastal areas through Haribon Blue Travel.
The Philippines is more than just white sand beaches & resort destinations. Haribon Travel unravels the world of conservation work to Haribon members; transforming them from tourists to champions for biodiversity. Participants are brought to Haribon project sites where they learn how community empowerment leads to the conservation of these areas.
