100% Carbon Offset Trips

Protect wildlife, change lives and help provide clean energy

By joining any of our active holidays, you are directly supporting positive impacts in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We’ve calculated the carbon emitted on each trip and offset the land travel by purchasing credits that support these projects.

The carbon offsets we purchase on your behalf are sourced from the reputable carbon management company South Pole Group, and the credits we have in stock support renewable energy and community welfare projects in Australia, China, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.

This does not come at an additional cost to you as this is already part of the all-inclusive pricing on our trips. 

Supporting these projects contributes to economic, social and environmental viability of communities and their ecosystems, shifting the focus from fossil fuel energy to adequate renewable resources. 

In addition, a range of these project activities support the independence and well-being of local communities, such as providing employment and quality education through agricultural workshops and activities.

Australian Walking Holidays is a division of the World Expeditions Travel Group actively reducing our footprint.  

Positive Impact Projects you will support

Myamyn Conservation, Australia 

Protects Australia's native wildlife and ensures biodiversity in Victoria's lowland forests.
Sections of the Annya State forest land were illegally cleared around a decade ago negatively impacted the biodiversity of the area. By protecting the land against deforestation and replanting it with natural vegetation, this project helps preserve the habitat of endangered native species, such as the scented spider-orchid, the powerful owl and the long-nosed potoroo.

 Benefits: 
  ● 8 hectares of ancient forests protected from deforestation and replanted with native vegetation.
  ● Improved quality of vegetation through weed control and elimination.
  ● Habitat for threatened and endangered native species protected.

Sustainable Development Goals addressed:
  ● Life on Land
  ● Climate Action

This project includes the construction of a wind power farm in the area of ca. 500 hectares in Vinh Trach Dong commune in Bac Lieu city. The demonstrative use of the technology has a number of benefits, such as providing decent work for local communities and economic growth in the area.

Huoshui Grouped Small Hydropower, China

Supplying clean hydroelectric power to the local grid displaces greenhouse gas emissions and helps mitigate climate change while improving the lives of local people.

Benefits: 
  ● 240 women employed by the project.
  ● 192 students participate in environment and wildlife protection workshops.
