The lodge has been involved in the community for more than 30 years. As part of our development policy we hire local people from our communities, most of who have been with us for an average of 12-25 years. The food we serve is prepared with products that we buy from local farmers and sea products from local fishermen. We host fun-days for our local schools, and we make it an educational event for the kids, professors and parents.
The commitment that the lodge has to sustainable development and the community is evident throughout the lodge. The buildings are made from their own reforested woods, local materials, and are nestled in naturally harmonious settings. All black and grey waters have a septic treatment that assures that no pollution ends up in the forest, river or the ocean.
All of their electricity is from solar and hydropower, and the sun heats all their water. All trails are done in a way that has the least impact on the surroundings and the least amount of erosion takes place. The food they serve is made from products from our own gardens, and local suppliers of organic products.
All our waste is recycled, organic produce is used for compost and all other products are recycled or taken to the municipal waste disposal site. They are very active in the conservation of the park, humpback whales, the rain forest, beaches, and turtles. The lodge uses educational programs, such as speakers, seminars, and financial investment to conserve and preserve the surrounding resources and beauty. Lastly, the lodge has been a voice for the community in the government concerning the preservation of humpback whales.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
