About RAW Travel
No artificial ingredients just RAW Travel!
At RAW We love to create inspiring journeys that offer genuine interaction with the people and cultures we visit. Travelling on an active trip not only energises, stimulates and excites your senses but it allows you to escape the 'everyday'; sharing experiences with new friends and connecting with local people and cultures. Exploring by bike or on foot is also by it's nature very eco-friendly, not to mention what it does for your health and fitness!
We have an Australian office located in Melbourne and another operations base in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh with our own bike fleets. We offer an in depth knowledge of active travel and the regions we travel in and you can deal direct with the people who'll lead your trip (and save you money).
We're also flexible as many of our featured trips depart with just two people or you can design your own adventure! Our small group departures are led by experienced western and local leaders with an average maximum of 12 people.

Our experience: When something's raw, you know it's real.
We're a specialist company and we enjoy providing a friendly, personal service where you're treated as an individual (no call centres here!). Being specialists allows us to deliver you a level of care and quality that comes from being focused. We pride ourselves on our intimate knowledge of our destinations and the effort we put into every one of our itineraries. We really do "know because we go" and create journeys that get you off the tourist trails so you can experience the authentic life of your chosen destination (and not just be seen as a walking dollar sign!)
With 12 years experience of operating adventure trips we've earned a solid reputation for delivering quality trips around the world - and as a result we're proud to have some of Australia's biggest companies and charities as our clients.

The promise: Something we'd like to say before you pay.
We won't cut corners or ever compromise the quality of your trip.We don't want to run hundreds of trips every year - because the quality of your experience is much more important than quantity to us. We're still small enough to care about our travellers as individuals and we want to stay that way!
We know that nowadays people desire a certain level of comfort along with their adventure, so great accommodation and discovering delicious local food is a hallmark of our trips. RAW owns and operates it's own adventures from our Asian and Melbourne offices, so we can keep tight control over the quality of our trips. We take notice of the feedback you give us and your opinions do matter.
But the quality of your trip depends on much more than just good accommodation and food. You need specialist leaders who know how to run a trek or cycle trip safely. You need the right bikes, that are properly maintained by people who know what they are doing and where they are going (take a tumble or a wrong turn in the middle of Mongolia and you''ll know about it!). We are the only company to offer a money back guarantee with our cycling trips, so that you are assured of a good quality bike. Click here to find out more on Our cycling trips

Giving back: Like you, we love our planet and its people.
Minimizing the environmental impact from the way we travel, the places we visit and the cultures we experience, is an absolute priority in everything we do. It's that simple.
In today's world travelling lightly is no longer just an admirable sentiment but a neccessity. We were one of the first to include compulsory carbon offsets on our overseas group flights and always look for ways to improve our impact on the ground by closely monitoring our group's environmental and cultural impacts. We have achieved advanced eco-certification on our Great Ocean walk and are committed to pro-poor tourism initiatives that ensure the benefits of tourism are distributed more equally to the people who need it most in developing countries.
Over the past 7 years the adventures we have organized have helped raise over $15 million in funds for a range of charities here in Australia and overseas. We continue our commitment to support causes dear to our heart with donations from trips that we run.Click here to find out more on our Charity trips
So, rest assured, your travel with us will leave a positive, lasting impact on you and the places you visit!
