Travelling responsibly is important to us. We travel in small groups, employ experienced local leaders and have formal and casual links with local communities. We minimize the negative impacts of travel and maximize the benefits to the regions we travel through by working with ethical service providers, employing locals and using locally owned lodgings. And we help with grassroots projects and charities with services.
Environmental and cultural sensitivity is important to us and are constantly learning more and informing our clients how best to enjoy their travel experience without impinging on the regions we travel through. And it doesn’t stop once the trips are complete.
Our Trip Style
Hammock Adventures is committed to a style of travel that is environmentally, culturally and socially responsible - we call this 'Responsible Travel'. It is implemented on our trips through the following features:
Grass roots travel using local public transport where possible - minimizes demand for special tourist vehicles and fuel.
We choose small-scale locally owned accommodation and home stays where available and local restaurants and markets for dining, retaining revenue in local communities.
Our group leaders facilitate communication of our values to travelers and local communities, educating them in sustainable tourism practices. We employ local guides to aid travelers' understanding of local culture and etiquette.
Small groups allow travelers to experience cultures first hand, offering greater opportunity for cross- cultural understanding.
