Conscious Travel refers to a way of travelling that is mindful of the impact on the destinations explored. The conscious traveller wants to minimise his impact and makes sure his travels do not harm the natural and cultural environments. Furthermore, many conscious travellers are seeking authentic and sustainable experiences that allow them to fully explore and understand the destinations covered. Some conscious travellers take their commitment further as they are looking for ways to give back to the destinations they travel to. We are working on a project to help conscious travellers give back during their travels. Visit our Conscious Travel page for more information.

Conscious Travel is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed as a Travel Agency to nurture and protect our destinations by choosing eco-responsible operators everywhere possible and by encouraging our travellers to book Indigenous experiences. Our conscious commitment goes beyond as we choose to live our lives responsibly and help to influence our community to travel with impact. We strive to live a conscious lifestyle, participate in conscious events and share all of our knowledge through a Facebook group and Conscious Travel blog posts. Visit our Conscious Travel page for more detailed information.

There are many ways to be a Conscious Traveller and it starts with booking with environmentally and culturally conscious companies. To find out more on how to be a conscious traveller we invite you to join our Conscious Travel Facebook group and to read through our Conscious Travel blog posts.

The ECO Certification program certifies tourism products (tours, accommodations, attractions) with a primary focus on nature.

It assures travellers that certified products are backed by a strong, well managed commitment to sustainable practices and provides high quality nature-based tourism experiences.

Most of our service providers are eco-certified. However, we also work with service providers that don’t have the official certification but that we know to be genuinely committed to sustainable practices.

As a Conscious Travel agency we carefully select our service providers based on their own commitment to the environment. Everywhere possible the Indigenous experiences we book for you are Indigenous owned and operated. It is our way to support Indigenous businesses.

We make a contribution from every booking to cultural and environmental charities. Visit our Conscious Travel page for more detailed information.

Your booking is already a contribution as we are donating to 2 charities each time we finalise a booking. However, you may choose to further contribute by adopting a koala. In this way you are helping rescue and treat sick and injured koalas. We can simply add your adoption package to your invoice. Adoption packages start at $50 and last for 12 months.

Read more about our commitment to charities on our Conscious Travel page.

We take calls from Monday to Friday, from 9:30am to 5:30pm.

However, we also have emergency extended hours. If you have an emergency during your trip that the service providers cannot fix for you, please feel free to call Jeanne on +614 23 652 502 or Celine on +614 01 018 862.
