Welcome to GoVegan Travel!
Hi, I’m Martin, a British vegan lucky enough to call Southeast Asia, and particular, Thailand, home since 2008. With over 30 years of experience leading group tours across India, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, Central America, and North Africa, I bring a deep passion and expertise to every journey.
Before founding GoVegan Travel, I worked with and for some of the UK and Europe’s top tour operators, helping thousands of travellers create lifelong memories. Now, I’m thrilled to channel that experience into crafting vegan-friendly adventures to some of my favourite destinations, many of which come highly recommended by happy past customers.
At GoVegan Travel, we believe travel should be for everyone. Whether you’re a lifelong vegan, curious about plant-based living, exploring health-conscious choices, or simply looking to travel a vegan friend or family member, our trips are designed to make you feel welcome and inspired. My goal is to combine breathtaking destinations, incredible people, and mouthwatering local vegan meals into experiences that align with your values and lifestyle.
Travelling with us is about more than just seeing the sights or snapping Instagram photos, it’s about creating meaningful stories, forming lasting connections, and returning home with cherished memories and a renewed love for vegan group travel.
Let’s explore the world, one amazing vegan adventure at a time!
At GoVegan Travel, quality always comes first. We’re committed to creating exceptional travel experiences tailored to your needs and shared values, rather than pursuing rapid growth and profit.
To ensure authenticity and value, we personally design and operate all our tours in destinations we know and love from first-hand experience. Unlike many travel companies, we don’t simply outsource to local Destination Management Companies (DMCs). This hands-on approach allows to us maintain complete control over quality, minimize unnecessary costs, and pass those savings directly to you.
Our tours are carefully curated to showcase some of the most captivating destinations, with every detail thoughtfully designed to feel personal and unique. From your first email to our final farewell, our goal is to make your journey seamless, memorable, and meaningful.
While we look forward to expanding our destinations each year, our unwavering focus remains on delivering top-quality, personalized experiences that exceed your expectations.
Because, in the end, travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the journey and the people you share it with.
and why we think you will too
Small groups ensure a better atmosphere and dynamics with less likelihood of smaller clique groups forming, often resulting in closer friendships and long-term connections.
With smaller groups, our tour leaders are better able to give more individual attention and answer questions more thoroughly.
Small group tours offer flexibility and experiences not available to larger groups, and are able to access off-the-beaten-path destinations and accommodate last-minute changes to suit the group's interests.
Smaller group tours are able to visit and interact with the local community more easily, respect local customs, engage in meaningful exchanges with locals, and support small businesses and organizations in the community.
Our goal is to offer a relaxed and responsible way for vegans, vegetarians, their friends, families, or the vegan-curious to explore the world comfortably. But we believe meaningful and immersive travel can be achieved without compromising our dietary or ethical preferences and that learning new cultures, meeting incredible people, and having unforgettable adventures is your right.
While our tours guarantee vegan-friendly accommodations, meals, and companions, we also want to give you the freedom to experience much more. That’s why we offer a variety of exciting activities – some included, some optional – that help you fully explore local cultures, breathtaking sights, and joyful experiences, all while staying true to our vegan values.
From visiting exotic temples and zip-lining through jungles to volunteering or enjoying a group night out, every experience is thoughtfully curated to align with our ethics and lifestyles. To allow more flexibility, we don’t include all meals in our itineraries. Instead, we offer curated vegan guides and some free time so that you are able to discover venture out at your own pace, or simply relax without needing to return to the group for every meal at set times.
Travel with us to enjoy a perfect balance of vegan-friendly adventures and the freedom to explore the world on your terms!
