Sensitive
Areas
We work closely with all the environmental agencies along our coastline to ensure we do not have a negative impact on the locations we use. We do this in a proactive way and invite the agencies to inspect the sites we use during our season.
By taking this approach we make sure we can share these amazing locations with our guests without spoiling them for others. For the benefit of everybody it is important that everything we do is sustainable. We consider everything from bird nesting and seal colonies, to taking care not to damage the delicate flora and fauna below certain levels of tide.
