All our Tasmanian adventures trips are 100% carbon offset and will directly support renewable energy and reforestation projects in Australia and around the world. 

Before mitigating carbon emission, it is important to take opportunities to reduce our footprint. 

Our adventures rely on our traveller’s own exertion to get from point A to point B; this is the case for many of our walking itineraries which are already low carbon emitting. 

When designing our active tours, we choose the least carbon intensive transport and accommodation available in the region, whilst taking into account traveller safety. Notably, the cost of leaving a carbon offset footprint in the places we visit will not be passed onto travellers and instead will be absorbed by Tasmanian Expeditions, a division of the World Expeditions Travel Group.

While all travel has unavoidable carbon emissions, we're continuing to take action to reduce our footprint and improve our operations.

How does mitigating carbon work?

It's really simple. First we calculate the emissions produced by your trip. 

Secondly, we purchase carbon credits through the world’s largest and most awarded carbon project developer, South Pole, which support Positive Impact Projects. 1 carbon credit equates to 1 tonne of carbon. The projects that we support aim to transition communities from fossil fuel dependency to renewable energy, as well as help protect and regenerate forests that capture and store carbon from the atmosphere. 

At no additional cost to you, our adventures will offset the carbon emissions from your land travel to support a conservation project in Australia, a wind farm in Vietnam, a habitat protection project in Zimbabwe and a hydropower plant in China.

In addition, these projects support a range of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as alleviating poverty, providing clean water and sanitation and offering decent work and economic growth, all of which aim to achieve a better future for all.

The carbon credits invested into these projects therefore accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources for developing nations, as well as projects that benefit local communities and protect their biodiversity. These supported projects are based on internationally recognised standards and are third-party audited.
