A responsible itinerary makes room for the landscape and the people who live there. Keep group movements manageable, use suitable local guides and choose fewer places you can experience properly.
From reef to desert
Stay on permitted routes, carry waste back and leave plants, rocks and marine life undisturbed. In protected areas, follow the access rules and the guide’s instructions even if another group behaves differently. Choose activities that describe their route and inclusions clearly, so you know what you are supporting.
Respectful encounters
Ask permission before taking portraits and agree prices for services in advance. Buy thoughtfully rather than assuming every souvenir supports local production. At religious places, dress and behave according to the site’s guidance. A calm, respectful visit gives more room for conversation than a tightly packed schedule of brief stops.
