Why FareHarbor?

Founding FareHarbor required unwavering passion. Turning a start-up into the world's leading and largest reservation software for tours, activities, and attractions required relentless dedication and vision. To date, we've helped over 20,000 global businesses operate successfully and are proud to have played a role in enabling business owners to live their dreams.

And since day one, we've known that our real success lies in our people-the Ohana.

With each new feature launched and new client onboarded, there is a team of incredible people behind the scenes who are full of dedication, passion, energy, and the will to succeed. We encourage everyone to bring their whole selves to work-to believe in their abilities, to freely express their creativity, and to contribute with their own uniqueness by wearing their true colors. We take care of one another and always prioritize health and wellbeing. We give our people the space and trust to learn, to try, to succeed, to collaborate, to think outside of the box, to make mistakes, and even to fail. And then we come together to try again.

From the minute you join, you have a voice. You find your space. You make an impact. We celebrate our victories, shout our successes, and are always eager to tackle new challenges. And we can't wait to see all that's to come.
