Exodus Adventure Travels has unveiled a new collection of adventurous coastal holidays. The ‘coastal gems collection’ has launched in time for World Ocean Day on 8 June 2025, which aims to drive awareness about the importance of oceans and the impact people can have on marine life.
Since 2024, Exodus has been a partner of Blue Marine Foundation to protect and restore vital marine ecosystems globally.
The partnership has seen Exodus invest in locally run projects that support ocean-based restoration and blue carbon removal across several of the destinations it visits.
The new collection includes more than 20 trips and a variety of coastlines from Africa’s Mozambique coastline to the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia, the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica and France’s Emerald Coast.
