As well as our minimal impact field practices, we have actively campaigned for wilderness issues including: Tasmanian pulp mill, Tarkine wilderness, Franklin River, uranium mining Kakadu. This is just a small part of how we translate our long held philosophies of environmental sustainability into real action. All of our trips are 100% carbon offset.

SMALL GROUP TRAVEL
Most trips have a maximum group size of 8 to 16, an ideal size to ensure minimum impact travel. Our small group approach ensures that you have an intimate and serene experience with nature and provides the flexibility to allow you the freedom to do your own thing within the framework of our itinerary.
