Our Sustainable Practices
Eco-Friendly Tour Operations
We prioritise the environment by using low-impact transportation options where possible, maintaining small group sizes, and limiting our impact on delicate ecosystems. Whether you’re enjoying a fishing charter, exploring nature trails, or an ocean adventure, we focus our operations to leave minimal environmental footprints.
Responsible Fishing Practices
Our fishing charters are guided by principles of sustainable fishing and we abide by the LegaSea charter code of conduct. We strictly adhere to local regulations to protect fish stocks, and we release any undersized or non-target fish back into the water with due care. Our knowledgeable guides also educate you on best practices for catch-and-release fishing and how to enjoy the sport while preserving marine life for future generations.
Support for Ocean minded charities
We support New Zealand charities that focus on ocean and marine preservation. A percentage of every tour booking goes back to these organisations to help them continue their work in ensuring marine sustainability for future generations. Our charitable partners include LegaSea and Sea Cleaners.
Conservation and Wildlife Protection
Whether you’re spotting dolphins, hiking through protected areas, or relaxing on a beach, we educate our guests on how to respect wildlife and habitats. We partner with environmental organisations to support conservation efforts and promote responsible wildlife viewing. Our team is dedicated to following best practices for wildlife protection to ensure that every animal and ecosystem is treated with care.
Waste Reduction
We are committed to reducing waste in all our operations. We encourage zero-waste practices on our tours, including reusable water bottles, eco-friendly packaging, and minimizing plastic usage. Additionally, we actively support local environmental initiatives that focus on beach clean-ups and habitat restoration.
Energy and Resource Efficiency
From the boats we use to the buildings we occupy, energy efficiency is a priority. We invest in sustainable technologies and practices, including solar-powered facilities and environmentally-friendly equipment. We also encourage our team and guests to make conscious choices to reduce water and energy consumption.
