Activities like elephant rides, tiger selfies, or dolphin swims often top travelers' wish lists, but they frequently harm animal welfare—a fact many overlook. To offer dream experiences without compromise, Airbnb has collaborated with the renowned NGO World Animal Protection to curate respectful, ethical encounters with animals across the globe.
Discover over 1,000 activities in 58 countries, all vetted against World Animal Protection's rigorous guidelines (no elephant rides or dolphin swims). Highlights include paddleboarding with a corgi in Fort Lauderdale (USA), visiting a big cat sanctuary in Imlay (USA), aiding manatee recovery in Puerto Rico, meeting Chernobyl's dogs in Pripyat (Ukraine), shadowing an Italian equestrian in Rome (Italy), or rescuing strays in Split (Croatia). Filter by activity type (observe, play, care for), location, budget, or interest—something for everyone. Kudos to Airbnb for leading the way!
