The resort operates as a not-for-profit organisation where all profits from the tourism operation are re-invested into conservation, management of the marine park and free excursions for local school children. Additional support is provided by over 30 volunteers. Facilities include a visitor's centre, classroom for the school excursions, 7 eco-bungalows, information centre with details of the research work carried out in the park, floating education materials for use on the reef and much more...
The island is a breeding ground for endangered species of coral and reef fish. Many local fishermen have been employed and trained as park rangers.
Their role includes patrolling and monitoring the reef daily, preventing illegal fishing and anchoring, managing a rat eradication programme, recording scientific observations (coral bleaching / storm damage), assisting marine researchers and acting as trail guides.
Day visitation is limited and regulated by the tides to avoid damaging the coral. All buildings feature rainwater catchment, solar water heating, greywater recycling, composting toilets, natural ventilation and photovoltaic power.
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!
