Human food drops

To minimise impact our food drops are rotated from sites to enable rainforest to regenerate. Food drops are vermin & weather proof. 95% of our trips employ locals to make food drops rather than utilize helicopters – thus reducing carbon emissions

Promote public environmental awareness

Our guides encourage and promote an understanding of conservation through interpretation natural and historic values, and ensure our presence has no effect on historic, Aboriginal and archaeological locations.

Campsite etiquette

Our groups use established camping sites, such as raised platforms or well worn camping sites instead of pitching on untarnished land. Once camp is established, our groups minimise their movements to reduce their trace on the environment.

Stay on track

To protect the environment and our clients’ wellbeing, we stay on the formed track. If the track is braided or wide our groups stay in the middle, and if there is no track our groups fan out and do not follow in each other's footsteps.

Pack it in - pack it out

All of our adventures have a pack it in – pack it our policy and we encourage our clients to pick up any rubbish they spot along the trails.

Ecotourism certification

Many of the itineraries offered by Tasmanian Expeditions have achieved Ecotourism Certification at the ECO IV level. The ECO Certification Program is a world first and has been developed to address the need to identify genuine nature and ecotourism operators.

Minimal impact techniques

Minimal impact bushwalking techniques are used to reduce the effects that people have on the environment. This allows walkers to enjoy their natural surroundings without causing too much environmental degradation.
