We all have something in commonthe burning desire to see the world and have the time of our lives doing it! That’s where we come in. We maximise your adventure and minimise hassle. We give you the chance to see new places, meet new people and experience new cultures.
We’re all about inclusions. We take away all the stress and worry of budgeting so you can focus on living the dream and making lasting memories. Our balance of hotspots, unique experiences, and bucket list adventures means you make the most of every single day. Why wouldn’t you? If you want it all, you can have it all. Culture, adventure, relaxation and partying making it the most mindblowingly awesome experience that won’t cost the earth.
The last thing you want is to book a group trip for everyone to be doing different activities or having more costs to think about when you get there! That’s why we have a one price one experience policy, where everyone gets the same experience! Creating a deeper connection with the people you are travelling with.
Yes, we have coined the term TruExclusives! Basically, we offer unique experiences within our trips that you cannot get anywhere else! Let’s just say we add that little bit more value to a typical activity, whether that’s a prosecco picnic, a sunset BBQ at a famous landmark, or a completely unique activity altogether! We go the extra mile to make your experience mind-blowingly awesome.
You don’t have to compromise fun for doing good, you can do both! Doing good has always been built into everything we do at Tru but now we have taken it one step further by creating our People and Planet Promise. We set ourselves 3 highly ambitious goals to hold ourselves accountable to and do our bit for the people (the communities we visit) and reduce our impact on the planet.
We recognise that evening activities are equally as important as day activities when travelling! That’s why we make sure we take you to the coolest sunset bars, the best night markets, awesome live music venues and the sickest restaurants. Our guides are on hand to take you to the best social hangout spots in every location!
Our badass guides are the best in the business at what they do. They are our enablers, connectors and entertainers. The front line of our brand! They encourage our travellers to step outside of their comfort zone, maximise their adventure and educate them on the power of travel when done right! They are more of a friend than a ‘tour guide’ with their fun, youthful, laid back and entertaining personalities which make our trips extra special. If you know, you know.
We only do mind-blowingly awesome. We pride ourselves on excellence and go over and above to provide lifechanging experiences for all our customers every time. We are always striving to innovate and improve our services and our trips so we can provide the best value for our customers and all of those involved.
We do what we do for the good of our customers, staff, partners and the communities where we work. We want to make the world a better place, whether that’s by spreading good vibes & making people happy or by helping development in areas that need it. We believe that travel should always be used as a force for good.
We believe in providing the opportunity for our customers to have the time of their lives, for our staff to be the best they can be and for our partners and communities to use tourism as an opportunity to improve their lives. Together we have a chance to promote equality through social enterprise and responsible travel.
Our people are what make us so unique. Everyone at Tru is part of the family - we work, play and party together. The TruFam is made up of an amazing bunch of individuals who share our passion for spreading good vibes and changing lives through travel. We are about connecting people from all over the world, and everyone who comes on tour with us becomes part of the Tru Family for life.
Love what you do and you will never work a day in your life. Fun is built into everything we do; if we are not enjoying ourselves, then we cannot provide the best experience for our customers. We aim to inspire people to live the dream.
Since the very beginning, our goal was to always give more than we take. Our mission, to provide life-changing experiences that truly benefit all, our customers, staff, suppliers and the communities we visit, has stood us in good stead for over 10 years but to be honest, it’s not enough.
It’s clear the world is in trouble. With the ongoing climate crisis and the ever growing issues of inequality in the world, we can do more, in fact we must do more!
So in 2022 we decided to double down on our efforts of going good and really put our money where our mouth is. But instead of just focusing on the climate crisis like most, we wanted to put equal emphasis on both people and the planet. Hence the cool fancy name People & Planet Promise.
We have set ourselves 3 ambitious goals to measure impact and hold ourselves accountable so that as we grow as a business, the positive impact we have on the world will also grow.
We have calculated this number in two ways. First, the total number of people our brand comes into contact with by 2030 will mean we will have positively impacted 80,000 customers and staff who travel or work with us. The second is the number of people who will stand to benefit from our charitable donations and the community projects we create, which will be 170,000 by 2030.
GENERATE $2.5M
We have committed to gifting 1% of our yearly revenue to be spent on people and planet initiatives. This means that our impact is not reliant on donations post-profit, it is directly built into our business model. We have also set ourselves a goal of achieving $500,000 through various different fundraising activities.
In 2022 we signed the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism and created our own plan to help support the global commitment to halve emissions by 2030 and reach net zero before 2050. In doing so, we now measure and declare our carbon footprint as a business every month and decarbonise by offsetting all carbon emissions through a variety of projects and tree planting initiatives.
2022
Since 2022 we have offset 4300 tons of carbon, donated $355,000 to 27 different charities across 12 different countries and planted close to nearly a quarter of a million trees! Impacting over 26,500 people so far! But this is only the beginning...

We have partnered with Charity: Water to help fund a project providing clean drinking water to local communities in Cambodia. The project will provide a long-term solution for access to self-sustaining clean water while also empowering local people with training and education about the new water systems.
The Amigos del Mar Foundation work with the local community Tierra Bomba to collect plastic waste and recycle it into various sports and recreational products. The sale of these products directly support the foundation in offering opportunities to over 200 children in sport, education and entrepreneurship.
Bali Street Mums is a charity very close to our hearts. They work to provide desperately needed resources including shelter, clothing, basic health care and food to many women and children in poverty. Our support has helped them to deliver empowerment programs in education, housing, and nutrition to over 390 mothers and children.
Through our partnership with PathNetZero, we now support a wind farm project that supplies clean energy to the Thailand National Grid. This project has also created new job opportunities through the construction, operation and maintenance of the wind power plant, benefitting the local economy.

We know that accommodation is everything when you are away! Luckily for you, we are masters at choosing unreal places to stay and making sure that where you are each night is always an awesome addition to every day!

With breakfasts and lunches included, the boat life is good for your purse too! You’ll be sleeping in bunk rooms that are never more than five meters away from an incredible sea view, epic right? Jump out of bed and into the sea - exploring Croatia doesn’t get better than this…
After a long day on the slopes, it’s only right that our base is somewhere you can tru-ly relax! Our hotel on the Ski resort of El Pas de la Casa is s’no’w joke. You’ll have worked up an appetite which is good because all breakfast and dinners are included whilst we are in Andorra and this hotel’s buffet is so good you’ll definitely be going up for thirds… Oh and did we mention it’s only a 5-minute walk from the ski-lift? You can’t get any better than that!
Fancy something a bit different? Want something that’ll make your jaw drop? We are always on the hunt for the best accommodation to make our trips even better and we know we really shouldn’t have favourites but these unique stays are at the top of our list!
Where could be better to wake up than a Raft House in the middle of Khao Sok National Park? Or a bamboo hut right on the beach on Daracotan Island? These accommodations show us that it is so much more than where you sleep. Trust us, when you arrive, you’ll see why we are the best at what we do!
