How Navigate Expeditions Champions Sustainable Tourism 

Sustainable Tourism at Navigate Expeditions means our adventures extend beyond the journey. They reach into the heart of the community, supporting and uplifting the very essence of the regions we explore. As we traverse the stunning landscapes of the Sapphire Coast, we ensure that every tour not only delights our guests but also gives back to the local environmental, cultural, and community organisations. Here’s some of the ways we’ve made a difference this financial year:

1. Empowering Conservation Efforts

   • Take 3 for the Sea: We contributed $700 to this global initiative, supporting their efforts to reduce plastic pollution in our oceans.
   • South Coast Wildlife Rescue: A donation of $945 aids this dedicated team in rescuing and rehabilitating local wildlife, ensuring the survival and health of our native species.
   • Sapphire Coast Wilderness Oysters: With a donation of $998, we help restore and maintain healthy waterways on the Sapphire Coast NSW.

2. Cultural Contributions

   • Twofold Aboriginal Corporation: We proudly donated $990, funding programs that preserve and promote Indigenous culture, ensuring that the rich history and traditions of the Aboriginal community continue to thrive.
   • Bega Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC): Our tours contributed $140 to support the council’s initiatives in cultural preservation and community development.

3. Community Initiatives  

   • Lake Curalo Project: We’ve allocated $125 towards the preservation and enhancement of Lake Curalo’s natural beauty and biodiversity.

   Beyond Financial Support

   Navigate Expeditions doesn’t just stop at financial contributions. We’ve provided free or cost-price tours and gift vouchers for local causes and events, helping raise awareness and funds for various projects. Our doors are always open for collaboration, and we encourage any local non-profit that aligns with our values of sustainability and community engagement to reach out.

   As we navigate through the waters and trails, we’re not just guiding tourists but nurturing the environment and culture that make our region unique. For every splash of the paddle and tread of the bike, Navigate Expeditions remains committed to giving back, ensuring that the beauty and integrity of our home is preserved for generations to come. If you have a project or non-profit in mind that you believe aligns with our values, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Together, we can explore potential collaboration opportunities that will make a significant impact.
