Ethical Observation of Nature

Our EON initiative is specifically dedicated to promoting sustainable travel practices with a deep respect for marine wildlife.

We firmly believe that by approaching marine ecosystems with care and responsibility, we can ensure their long-term preservation and foster meaningful connections with the natural world.

Our journey starts by shining a spotlight on our partners’ participation in the Ethical Observation of Nature programme.

Each day, we are inspired by the growing number of activity providers that embrace sustainable practices when it comes to observing and respecting the natural world.

This empowers travelers to make conscious choices, knowing they can expect ethical and immersive experiences during their experiences.

Where experiences, activities and the ethical observation of nature intertwine harmoniously.
