Corporate Incentive Adventures
 - Improving the world one company at a time

Hands Up Holidays specialises in trips that blend community service with relaxation and/or adventure. This combination of action and reward is ideal for progressive companies that know employee satisfaction and CSR are now an integral part of company strategy and sustainable business practices.


In the past companies have found our trips ideal for:

  • Incentive travel
  • Team building

The benefits of incentive trips and team building activities are well documented. They include:

  • Improved Staff motivation and employee loyalty
  • Social image enhancement of your company
  • Measurable results with a tailor-made project
  • Team building
  • Contribution to a better world

For multinational companies there is the additional opportunity for employees to gain insights into the culture and customs of associated companies or business units.

Softcat case history on volunteer project in Fiji



For an adventure that counts I recommend Hands Up Holidays!

Dame Anita Roddick, Founder of The Body Shop


What some of our clients had to say:
“I speak for all the people attending; it was an amazing country, full of vibrant people, incredible scenery. It was a trip of extremes, in culture, climate, and civilisation. We loved our time helping at the orphanage, and the island cruise topped it off well.”

- Peter Kelly, CEO, Softcat Incentive Trip to Fiji

"Working with Hands Up Holidays to coordinate our TOMS volunteer trip in South Africa was a great experience.

They were very attentive to our particular needs for transportation, lodging, and scheduling. It was with their logistical help that TOMS volunteers were able to personally give shoes to children in need and learn all about South Africa's history and culture! Great local guide and great agency support!"

- Ana Maria, Programs Manager, TOMS Shoes
