Responsible Travel

What we ask of travellers on the water, and what we hold ourselves to when nobody is watching.

On the water

None of this is optional on our boats.

  • Keep The Distance

    Engines off and no approach when an animal is swimming, feeding or crossing. The boat waits; the animal decides.

  • No Baiting, No Calls

    No bait, no playback, no chasing a sighting for a photograph. A picture is never worth a disturbance.

  • Nothing Left Behind

    Single-use plastic stays off the boat and every scrap of waste comes back with us.

  • Local Crew, Fair Pay

    Boatmen, cooks and guides are hired from the delta villages and paid for the whole season, not the trip.

Why it matters

A sighting is never worth a disturbance.

This is a working landscape before it is a destination.

People fish, collect honey and farm here, inside a tiger reserve.

Tourism is one more pressure on water that is already carrying several. We keep our boats small, our groups quiet and our money in the villages the journey passes through.

If a rule costs us a photograph, we lose the photograph.
