CARBON REDUCTION

This trip stimulates eco-friendly travel by majorly offering ground tours reducing the need for internal flight travel. Majority of the travel within Oregon is carried out using private and shared local transport, which effectively reduces CO2 emissions per person.
The trip includes components of human-powered transport (walking, hiking on days at leisure at Oregon Coast, Mount Hood Day Hike, etc.) and it is a major part of the tour package lasting over several days.
We do advise customers on ways they can reduce their carbon impacts. For instance, we have taken upon ourselves to compensate their carbon footprint, by donating 1% of each trip. Moreover, as a company, we encourage our customers to apply eco-friendly practices throughout their trip.
During the trip you will also enjoy canoeing, where the primary mode of transportation is an eco-friendly, human-powered canoe.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

This trip helps support Oregon's natural parks such as Ecola State Park, Smith Rock State Park, Crater Lake National Park, and the Mount Hood National Forest in one way by attracting interest and creating awareness about the importance of these natural facilities and their conservation.
The itinerary also includes entrance fees to these Parks which contributes to their maintenance and preservation.
Private tours around these natural parks are conducted by expert guides who are knowledgeable about the local environment and offer insights to customers about Oregon's rich bio-diversity and contribute to eco-education.
