Tasmania vacation, Australia

Planet

Booking your vacation with us directly supports conservation and Tasmania's unique environment. We encourage and invest in low-impact travel, longer stays, and promote and engage in activities and experiences that educate visitors about wildlife, fragile ecosystems, and cultural heritage. We take you off the beaten track and avoid over-touristed areas. This approach reduces environmental pressure while ensuring that tourist revenue supports conservation, tracks, parks and local infrastructure that depend on keeping Tasmania clean and authentic for future generations. We donate a portion of our profits to the Tasmanian Land Conservancy which acquires land for privately managed reserves that safeguard threatened habitats, native and endemic species of flora and fauna and important biodiversity across Tasmania. Tasmania itself makes a huge contribution to teh health of our planet, with vast tracts of wilderness, ancient forests, peatlands and clean ocean environments that act as carbon stores and biodiversity refuges. Over 40% of the island is protected through World Heritage listed wilderness, parks and reserves.

Our Tasmanian vacations are created around the people who live and care for Tasmania's landscapes. By traveling with our expert local guides who have immense respect and understanding for the environment, staying in small regional communities and supporting like-minded conservation operators, your vacation in Tasmania will help locals continue to protect the places, flora and fauna that they are passionate about. A number of our accommodation and tour owners have been given awards for their conservation work such as Craig Webb, the founder of Raptor Refuge whose lifelong dedication to Tasmania's birds of prey and raptors has been recognized at the highest level with the King's Award for outstanding contribution to conservation and community education. Dr Tonia Cochran, owner of Inala Nature Tours on Bruny Island, has been awarded the Medal of Order of Australia for service to Wildlife Conservation and Eco-Tourism. We are proud to work with many local accommodation and tour providers who quietly dedicate their lives to combining tourism and giving our visitors meaningful access to Tasmania's unique wildlife and wilderness with real conservation outcomes.
