Environmental Credentials
Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises is a leading reef tourism operator operating to Green Island within the Cairns section of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area and Marine Park.
We recognize environmental management as one of our highest corporate responsibilities and are committed to being environmentally responsible, promoting environmental best practices and maximising sustainability.
Our tours are accredited with or certified under:
- Advanced Ecotourism Certification (Ecotourism Australia).
- Leader (highest) level under Climate Action Australia’s Certification Program (Climate Action Australia).
- The Australian Government’s climate change initiative Greenhouse Challenge Plus (Greenhouse Challenge Plus).
- The Australian based Planet Safe Partnership (Planet Safe Partnership)
We have taken a very proactive position on climate change because we view it as a very serious threat to the reef environment in which we operate. We are achieving a “Zero Carbon Footprint” by offsetting our direct emissions via “additional” future forest sink offsets supplied by Greenfleet Australia. Greenfleet is an Approved Abatement Provider under the Australian Government’s Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative.
