Croatia multi sport vacation, hike, bike and kayak

Planet

Waste : Reducing waste and the environment impact of tourism is a big priority of our company. We practice a Leave No Trace principle on all our expeditions and we incentivize environmental best practices among our partners. In Croatia we incentivize environmental stewardship in the Western Balkan region by assessing all partner lodges based on local ownership, energy-sourcing, and waste disposal. The Konavle region of Croatia is a precious resource to everyone and we must help to protect it. All food is sourced locally to minimize food packaging and to support local economies. Our Croatian guides serve as environmental and waste reduction educators on the trail. They outline the environmental issues in each region of Croatia where we operate and they demonstrate best practices to our travelers and partners in country.

Water : In Croatia we avoid plastic bottle use and actively educate clients on the impact of plastic products on oceans and coastal communities.

Travel: This vacation keeps its carbon as low as possible by including hiking, biking and kayaking to explore the beautiful Croatian islands and waters.

People

Friends and neighbors: With our company, we are committed to doing travel right. We see travel in the Western Balkans as one of the most effective means of investing in amazing people and places. We hire experienced Croatian guides from the local communities in which we operate. This is not only the responsible thing to do but provides a better and more authentic travel experience. We invest 10% of our total revenue in the form of microcredit to small-scale entrepreneurs in the communities of the Western Balkans. In the Western Balkans, we partner directly with local microfinance institutions that provide low-interest capital to small businesses in the regions where we operate. This is our mission, our passion, and what makes our company very unique in the travel industry.

A fair deal : In Croatia our company partners up with local lodge owners, local drivers, and other local businesses in the areas and communities we operate, to maximize the local benefit from tourism. We practice a Leave No Trace principle on all our expeditions and we incentivize environmental best practices among our partners. Our teams are locally hired. We travel with respect and preservation of local customs and with that perspective in mind, we educate those who travel with us in the importance of preserving these important factors.
