Local guides

Ask who will guide your day, listen to their advice, and leave room for the stories and details they choose to share.

  • Ask questions about the places you visit.
  • Follow guidance about timing, routes, and appropriate behaviour.
  • Check plans directly if you have a particular interest or accessibility need.
02

Local businesses

Decide where you spend during your stay with the same care you use when choosing an experience.

  • Ask your guide where you can buy a meal, craft, or service locally.
  • Agree the price before a purchase when that is appropriate.
  • Choose only what you can carry, use, or give thoughtfully.
03

Respectful cultural travel

Notice the setting around you and ask when you are unsure about local expectations.

  • Ask before taking a close photo of a person or private space.
  • Dress with the setting and planned visit in mind.
  • Keep voices and music low in shared or residential spaces.
04

Wildlife and reef care

Enjoy wildlife and the sea without trying to change their behaviour or touch what you have come to see.

  • Keep a respectful distance from animals.
  • Do not touch, stand on, or remove coral.
  • Follow your guide or boat crew’s instructions in and around the water.
