Situated in a remote location, visitors have the opportunity to see and experience one of the last frontiers of Australia. Interaction with members of the Mapoon community and access to people with informed opinions on turtles (marine biologists) provide a hands on experience which is not contrived… what you see is what you get and therefore makes for a more fulfilling experience. Intimate numbers in camp allows for greater hands on experience with rangers, turtles and the local community.
This project is designed to create an economic future in a sustainable environment for the community of Mapoon. This forward thinking community and its council have recognized the need for commercially viable businesses that operate successfully as their link to a viable future with jobs for their youth.
Rather than solely an Aboriginal tourism experience this is a fused blending of culture and the environment that provides benefit for all participants. The traditional Aboriginal owners of Mapoon sea country have assigned Rangers with the responsibility of protecting and monitoring turtles which nest on these beaches.
The business requires trained Aboriginal rangers, cooks, tour guides and camp managers. It is the economic responsibility of the business to train community members into these defined roles. Creating gainful employment is a major goal for this project.
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!
