How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
All National Park entry and camping fees paid on this tour go towards the Department of Environment & Conservation’s work in maintaining and protecting the local environment. Our guides are experienced and keen to share their in depth knowledge of the local natural environment. We follow Department of Environment & Conservation guidelines to promote environmental protection and rehabilitation.
We encourage appropriate behaviour and educate travellers to minimise their cultural and environmental impact. Our travellers are advised to stay on designated trails and paths to protect the surrounding country and are also discouraged from taking environmental ‘souvenirs’ (eg. rocks or shells) for both environmental and cultural reasons. Our company operates 3 new Isuzu 800 vehicles, which meet EURO 4 Emissions Standards.
They are fitted with 120 litre drinking water tanks to enable travellers to refill water bottles, rather than purchase new plastic bottles enroute. Tour equipment includes re-usable plastic containers to avoid rubbish generated while in remote areas and no disposable crockery or cutlery. Torch batteries are rechargeable and glassware is avoided to minimise breakage risks.
Community
Accommodation on this tour is National Park based or locally owned. Enroute, we support locally owned & operated roadhouses and general stores, while meals on tour use ingredients supplied by local restaurants & caterers. On this tour we visit the Mimbi Caves, a tourism initiative that is 100% indigenous owned and operated by traditional owners from the Mimbi Aboriginal Community. Our guides are trained in cultural protocols, especially when entering communities, and are sensitive to appropriate practices. We are a member of Environs Kimberley and supporter of Minyirr Park.
