“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

GUEST POST: KANU KAPERS’ ECOTOURISM JOURNEY
Our ecotourism journey has been full of adventures and opportunities. We successfully applied for Advanced Ecotourism certification in 2018 so we could display our commitment to sustainability. We have always felt what we are doing is ‘bigger' than our business of Noosa Everglades Kayak Tours. That said, we have a responsibility to protect sacred natural places and to educate our guests and other operators within our industry. Since we began the journey our business has grown in leaps and bounds and we have been inspired to further develop our sustainability and ecotourism practices.
