A part of the profit will go to the Sea Shepherd México association. This non-profit organization struggles for the protection of the marine fauna and flora in Mexico's and the world's oceans. Their actions include fighting illegal fishing, cleaning ecosystems, studying human impact on coral reefs, fighting animal captivity and more.
Mass tourism often implies animal mistreatment. At Mexikoo, we only propose excursions which totally respect animals. We do not bother them in their natural habitat, keep our distance during observation sessions and prohibit activities with captive animals.
We reduce our plastic consumption as well as our use of motorized transportation the most we can and propose alternative solutions.
The profit from the tourism industry should be distributed with more equity. That’s why we include and promote local communities’ projects in our itineraries. This way, we enable some families and take them out of poverty thanks to tourism.
We all know travelling has an impact on the environment. The idea isn’t to stop travelling of course, but rather to balance our ecological impact by travelling more responsibly
Mexikoo donates a part of its benefits to a Mexican NGO called “Sea Shepherd Mexico” and thus participates in actions to preserve endangered animals such as humpback whales, to conserve ecosystems, or collect waste.
