MAYFLOWER MAKES A DIFFERENCE
In an effort to reduce waste of single use plastic water bottles
and be more environmentally conscious, Mayflower is proud
to provide each traveler with a light-weight and packable
reusable bottle. We have made it part of our mission to reduce
our carbon footprint starting right here in our own backyard by
swapping out the nearly 50,000 single use bottles we provide
to travelers annually with one refillable bottle. You can expect
your tour manager to provide you with a brand new bottle
on the first day of your tour so you can take the opportunity
throughout each day to refill and refresh yourself.
