Environmental Initiatives

Some of our ongoing operational initiatives to minimize our overall environmental footprint include:

  1. Using 80-100% recycled paper (toilet/ print) whenever possible and to the highest level of recyclable factor
  2. Rechargeable batteries as the norm
  3. All our business light bulbs are low energy consumption green globes
  4. Our trial (now into it´s third year) of Bio-desiel is has been a great success. We were the first tour operator in this area to run vehicles with bio-fuel recycled from cooking oils from the Port Douglas and Mossman region.
  5. The use of re-usable Nalgine water bottles and re-usable camelbak hydration systems
  6. We are members of various green groups and EPA recognised water sample collectors
  7. Initiatives including setting up a river watch network which has been successful in communicating with local property owners along the World Heritage Mossman River in order to monitor the environment and discussing appropriate practices
  8. We provide advice to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and Queensland Parks and Wildlife via the GBRMP Advisory Committee which we are a member.
  9. Re-use of bicycle inner tubes which are recycled into kayak tie downs
  10. Always cleaning up an area of any rubbish at activity or program site
  11. The use of vinal printing (not harmful paints) for vehicle logos
  12. Bio-degradable, environmentaly friendly washing detergents
  13. Using green reusable supermarket and fruit bags and participating in Clean Up Australia Day
  14. Ongoing process of constantly evaluating our environmental footprint and looking at ways of reducing our impact beyond the Carbon Neutral level.
