At Manawa, we work with a select group of affiliates in order to create visibility for our experiences and build brand awareness. If you’re a travel blogger or travel agent with a love for the outdoors and you want to explore and promote unique destinations, then the Manawa affiliate program could be your perfect fit. As a Manawa affiliate, you can earn commission on all bookings originating from your blog, working hand in hand with our dedicated partnerships team.

1. Monetize your travel blog by earning commission

If you’re eager to continue growing (& traveling!) with your dream job, or perhaps you’re keen to turn your side-project into a full-time activity by monetizing your travel blog, the Manawa affiliate program could be for you. The steps are simple: sign up as an affiliate through the Manawa website, take note of your personalized tracking code, begin placing Manawa activity links within your existing articles (or create new content if you feel inspired!), and we’ll be in touch as soon as the first booking comes in. We offer a starting rate of 8% commission on all bookings (with 30 day cookies), with monthly payouts via Paypal or straight to your bank.

2. Enrich the content of your blog with unique outdoor experiences

At Manawa we’re proud to offer a vast range of thrilling and off the beaten track outdoor activities, run by professionals at the top of their game. Since 2016 we’ve been seeking out the most experienced outdoor professionals offering the most exciting adventures, which easily become the most memorable part of any trip. Featuring Manawa activities on your blog ensures that your readers have the chance to experience quality outdoor adventures on their travels. And if you’re already working with other partners, rest assured that at Manawa we are proud to offer destinations where the main players haven’t yet ventured, with new & exclusive activities being added all the time!

3. Gain insight into your readers & their travel aspirations

Through our user-friendly affiliate back office you can gain precious insight not only into which activities your readers are booking/which destinations they’re visiting but which activities they’re adding to their cart. This visibility can offer inspiration on which countries or destinations you might like to visit (or re-visit!) and which content you’d like to update or create. Without direct exchanges with our your readers, it can be challenging to predict travel trends, but knowing which kind of activities your readers have booked and where can provide you with visibility on where to focus your time and energy in order to grow your readership and earn more commission.

4. Stay authentic as a travel writer/blogger

At Manawa we aim for our clients to discover our adventures in the most organic way possible; through having our experiences featured in creative & informative blog articles and on reputable travel agent websites. As a Manawa affiliate we won’t ask you to use invasive widgets, banners or pop-ups, and your partnerships advisor is there to offer guidance on the most effective way to place your links. If a member of our partnerships team has reached out to you, it’s because we find your travel writing inspiring and your brand perfectly aligned with our values and aspirations here at Manawa. With our diverse range of adventures, you can choose to feature the activities that best suit your audience; whether that be outdoor enthusiasts, families with children, or environmentally conscious travelers. If you’re a blogger or travel writer with a taste for exploring then we look forward to hearing from you!
