Ocean Safari’s long-term commitment to ecotourism, environmental sustainability, protection, research and education is reflected through holding Advanced Ecotourism Australia Accreditation for over ten years as Green Travel Leader.
The culture at Ocean Safari is aligned to strong values that are reflective of a family business committed to best practice standards and performance, ensuring long term stewardship and positive environmental initiatives for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Given our remote location and the fact that Cape Tribulation is “off the grid” in terms of power and water supply, our team are highly attuned when it comes to considering our environment impacts.
As a Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) High Standard Tourism Operator, our environmental activities include working with GBRMPA through the Reef Protection Initiative, our Reef Seeker program, our contribution to the Eye on The Reef (EOTR) program and our team of Master Reef Guides and Eco Hosts, who are trained in EOTR monitoring methods to provide guests with the highest levels of reef knowledge.
At Ocean Safari, environmental and educational tourism is an essential part of our operation. We ensure our experience is fun, educational, ethical, and ecologically sustainable. Our team visit the reef daily, engaging in stewardship actions that promote reef health, then share their insights with guests.
We continue to lead in the environmental edutourism space with our citizen science program, ‘Reef Seeker’, offering interpretive and hands-on activities, personalised guided snorkelling tours and interactive question and answer sessions.
