Taking our environmental responsibilities seriously Australia possesses
a diverse array of environments, some of the most delicate on the
planet. More so than many other tourist destinations, our National
Parks in which we operate are very fragile environments and in order
to preserve our own future we need to ensure all our activities
are sustainable and representative of all facets of the region including
indigenous culture. The following are a number of initiatives we
are taking and monitoring in order to make this the case.
We search for the best possible eco minded local tour operators
for Uluru and Kakadu such as Wayoutback Tours whom Rob (Australia
4 Tours owner) was there in Alice Springs at the pickup point when
Wayoutback Safaris started there very first trip and have been there
with them ever since.
