Giving Back While Visiting The Whitsundays
As a long-time tourism operator in the area, Sailing Whitsundays is always happy to promote philanthropy, sustainable tourism, and conservation. If you're travelling to the Whitsundays and you're interested in having a positive impact on the local environment and community, there are many ways to do so!
How Can I Help The Environment While Visiting The Whitsundays?
In addition to watching and supporting philanthropic organisations like Charity TV Global and Adventure All Stars, there are lots of eco-friendly efforts taking place in the Whitsundays. We already mentioned Ocean Rafting and Whitsunday Crocodile Safari, but other tours like Kiana and Red Cat Adventures are also deeply involved in marine biology research and conservation.
While the main focus of these tours is experiencing the natural wonders of Tropical North Queensland, they also take time to participate in conservation efforts outside their regular tour operations. When joining any tour in the Whitsundays, make sure you speak with your guides to learn more about the region and ways you can get involved!
Other initiatives are in place as well, including the Eyes On The Reef app to report whale sightings and the Eco-Barge ocean clean-up and turtle rescue programs. If you're a luxury traveller, you can support eco-friendly businesses like Elysian Retreat, which is 100% solar-powered. So there are many ways to have a positive impact on the Whitsundays during your stay!
