Explore with care.
Great adventures respect the places and people that make them possible. Use these principles as a starting point, and follow local guidance wherever you go.
Leave places better than you found them.
Keep a respectful distance from wildlife, stay on marked trails, carry out waste and respect closures. Choose local services where practical and learn the customs of the places you visit.
- Follow local rules and protected-area guidance
- Choose activities appropriate to your ability
- Respect wildlife and local communities
- Reduce waste and avoid disturbing habitats
Make thoughtful choices on the road
Respect communities and local customs
Learn basic local etiquette, ask before photographing people and respect sacred, private or restricted places. Choose locally owned services where practical and be considerate of noise, shared spaces and community priorities.
Reduce your impact outdoors
Stay on designated trails, pack out waste, avoid feeding wildlife and follow fire and camping rules. In sensitive marine areas, avoid touching coral or disturbing wildlife and follow local conservation guidance.
Choose quality over quantity
A slower trip can reduce pressure to rush between places and leave more time to learn about where you are. Prioritise activities that suit your ability and the conditions rather than treating adventure as a competition.
