Manawa for professionals: our vision, our mission, our ambition

Why does Manawa exist?

Why choose Manawa as an outdoor professional?
The idea was born from a very real experience: as practitioners, we struggled to find and book outdoor activities during our travels.

Finding a guide for ski touring in Chamonix, downhill biking in Cape Town, or a parachute jump in Spain was often a real headache. And professionals had few simple ways to make themselves visible.

To solve this double problem, we created Manawa: a bridge between curious travelers and passionate professionals, with a human, simple, and outdoor-adapted solution.

What Manawa does today

Manawa is an international booking site for outdoor activities: canyoning, paragliding, kayaking, diving, via ferrata, climbing, dog sledding, mountain biking, caving, surfing, ski touring, etc.
More than 10,000 sports, nature and adventure activities in some of the most beautiful spots in the world.

But above all, Manawa is a community of local professionals we work with directly and in confidence. The goal is simple: to enable each one to live from their activity, while keeping their identity and freedom.

Our vision of the outdoor sector

Outdoor activities have unique value: they reconnect us to nature, create strong memories, and allow everyone to experience sensations.

At Manawa, we believe this sector deserves its own space.
It shouldn't be lost in general leisure or tourism offers. It deserves specific visibility, with its own codes, demands, and above all, passion.

We want to help build that showcase, together.

A clear mission: supporting professionals

How can you easily list and promote your outdoor activities?
That’s exactly our mission.

Manawa supports professionals in their daily work, without imposing rigid structures. You remain in control of your business, while accessing tools and visibility you wouldn't have on your own.

With Manawa, you benefit from:

• clear and compelling activity pages,
• a commission-based model, with no fixed fees or obligations,
• synchronisation with your booking tools (API, software),
• a human support team available 7 days a week to assist and advise you.

A shared ambition

Our goal is ambitious, yet simple: to become the global leader in outdoor activity bookings!

This goal relies on a collective project. We're building it with you, the outdoor professionals.

Three main focus areas lead us there:

• Bringing you more clients and visibility through our audience and targeted communication.
