Norwegian Fjord and coast road trip vacation

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION

For this itinerary public transportation will not be conventient and therefore transport is based on driving a car. The rental car will be electric, and recharging will be with green Norwegian energy.

Breakfast buffets always have vegetarian and vegans options available and clearly marked. Restaurants always have vegetarian and vegan options on the menu.

The itinerary is based on only using elecrric car between the destinations, and only international flight to/from the country is necessary.

Electric cars are available for hire.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

Each year we donate a precentage of the company surplus to a charity organisation who either helps people or the environment. Last year we donated to an NGO organisation cleaning plastic and litter from beaches and coast lines.

Have you considered adding an opt out conservation fee to each trip for named NGOs? No. We feel adding and opt out conservation fee is not right as it puts an extra economic burden on the traveler already paying for the trip, and we feel giving something back from the company surplus is an overall better solution.

LOCAL ECONOMY

The accommodation in Bergen is a small locally Bergen owned chain, and the accommodations in Luster and Kalvåg are small scale, family run and locally owned.

We try to select destination that is not receiving the highest amount of travelers and has a local feel, like along the coast and deeper into the fjord areas. Within the destination, we also seek to use local small-scale operators with a focus on sustainability delivering a more authentic experience and also benefiting the local economy.

The glacier hike do contain a RIB boat drive, but this is the only way into the area, and the reward is a place where a local operator brings small groups who are usually the only ones there.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

Norways is a very liberal country in general with high equal rights to race, gender, sexual orientation or nationality. All travelers like for example LGBT+ travelers are welcome everywhere.
