How GoKo Travels Works
-
Created for You, From the Ground Up
You’ll receive a completely flexible itinerary created around your individual interests, wishes, travel style and budget. From the places you visit to the pace of each day, every detail is shaped around how you want to experience Asia.
-
Asia, Known Firsthand
Our recommendations come from places we have explored, hotels we have experienced, the food we've eaten and relationships built across Asia. This genuine local knowledge leads you towards the places worth seeing - and beyond those everyone already knows.
-
Private by Design
Private guides, drivers and carefully planned experiences give you the freedom to travel comfortably and at your own pace. Everything is coordinated in advance, while your journey still feels personal, relaxed and flexible.
-
With You Every Step
One dedicated specialist oversees your trip from the first idea through to your return home. While travelling, trusted local teams remain available 24/7, ready to assist whenever you need them while providing full financial protection..
Giving Back
As part of our commitment to preserving planet earth, we donate 3% of our profits to GoKo Travel's registered non-for-profit, "The GoKo Earth Preservation".
The GoKo Earth Preservation has been set up to protect and preserve the natural habitats of our planet and to conserve and enhance the biodiversity of threatened environments and endangered species around the globe. This is achieved through rewilding, reforestation and marine conservation projects, alongside local community support.
Securing A Rainforest Reserve
Support the purchase of our very own GoKo Rainforest reserve - preserving biodiversity and protecting endangered species in the world's most important habitat.
Assisting Marine Conservation
With your help, we can buy boats to support marine conservation; securing the future for our fragile oceans and the wonderful beings that inhabit them.
Creating New National Parks
By helping with the creation of new parks, we can support local economies, empower native communities and put healthy landscapes into permanent protection.
Looking to Carbon Offset?
Although all of our GoKo holidays promise to warm your hearts, we don’t want it to contribute to warming the planet.
Upon request, we can help you go Carbon Neutral. Thanks for our contacts, we can support a 3-step carbon offset scheme to calculate and neutralise your holiday footprint, allowing you to travel conscious free. This covers every step of the journey where you travel with us, from international flights to hotel heating, transport, food and more.
If requested, the GoKo Carbon Offsetting scheme does not focus on just planting trees, but rather the purchasing, persevering and protecting standing forests from deforestation and degradation - helping revive forests back to full health and avoiding the release of stored carbon. This also enables the regeneration of degraded habitats, which gradually re-absorb atmospheric CO2.
