Everything was great - highly recommend and Simona was always striving to do the best for us. Read full reviewReviewed on 03 Jun 2017 by Richard Denney
The most memorable was being able to take my 7yo to watch bears in their natural habitat (and in so doing making his dreams come true). A wonderful experience for me and created memories for my 7yo son that he'll carry with him forever. Read full reviewReviewed on 06 Jul 2017 by Jon Holland
The evening we sat on a hilltop in the sunshine and watched several bears doing their thing was the highlight. Read full reviewResponsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
Planet
We travel in very small groups to minimize the impact of our activities on the wildlife we watch and their environments. Our days are planned carefully to minimize travel while maximizing the chance to see wildlife.We work with local wildlife researchers to assess the impact of wildlife-related tourism activities on the environment.
We encourage our guests to follow our lead and reduce the amount of litter they produce and to not leave any marks in the areas we visit.
Our office waste paper is reused wherever possible. We have reduced the amount of paperwork generated by our office by switching to online newsletters, booking confirmations etc. We use recycled products wherever possible.
We stay in locally-owned accommodation that use mainly home grown produce, thus contributing to reducing food miles and supporting the local community.
As members of the Association of Ecotourism in Romania we also contribute to the development of responsible travel and nature conservation in Romania.
People
We collaborate exclusively with local people and locally owned businesses that employ local people for all the services we provide, thus all the revenues from our tours “stay” locally.Working with local small-size businesses gives them a fair chance of doing business in a world dominated by big hotels and impersonal services. It also improves our guests’ access to the local culture through their hospitable hosts.
One important characteristic of our tours is authenticity. We have managed to find local collaborators that share our aim of preserving the local values in terms of customs, culture, food etc.
The size of our groups is very small, with a very small impact on the local culture. Our groups average six guests, and many tours operate on a private basis with just two guests. This has much less impact when traveling through rural areas, reducing our environmental and social impact.
On most of the areas we travel to we take the time to visit some of the local traditional craftsmen. This gives our guests the chance to experience first-hand some of the local traditions and, at the same time, provides revenues and emphasis on the importance to preserve these great traditions for the local craftsmen.
