For every guest who books and travels through Coralbound, we donate to a conservation NGO in the country they visit.
This is a platform announcement. If you're here to plan an Indonesia liveaboard trip, start with the Indonesia liveaboard guide.
Why we're doing this
Conservation is very important to us. We believe tourism businesses should take responsibility for the places they operate in, not only benefit from them.
Diving depends on healthy reefs, the people who look after them and the communities who live next to them. A booking platform that sends divers to these places should put something back.
We're not the first to say this, and we don't expect to be the last. But saying it isn't enough. We wanted a commitment that grows with every booking.

What we're doing
Each year, we donate an amount for every guest who books through Coralbound and travels. The donation comes from Coralbound.
The more guests travel through us, the more we give. It doesn't depend on a campaign or a particular month.
One NGO per country
We'll pick one NGO in each country we work in and support it directly. One partner per country means the support goes to one team instead of being spread across many.
It also means you'll know who we support in the country you're visiting.

What it means for you
You don't need to do anything. The donation is made for every guest who books and travels with us.
Donation is already one of our booking gifts, alongside the other options, including the option of a complimentary hotel night. The donation gift ranges from USD 15 to USD 100, depending on the value of your booking. Each country has its own donation gift for its partner NGO. For an Indonesia trip, that is the Raja Ampat SEA Centre. You only see the one for the country you're visiting.
Indonesia first
Our partner in Indonesia is the Raja Ampat SEA Centre, a conservation and education foundation working in Raja Ampat. We cover what it does, and why we chose it, in a separate post: Coralbound supports the Raja Ampat SEA Centre.
