Does “ecotourism” mean rustic accommodation?
No. On our Small Group trips, we have hand-picked 4-star boutique accommodation that will please even the fussiest traveler. What makes hotels “eco” is their use of such things as recycled grey water, solar panels, aerated taps, recycled building materials, and their involvement with reforestation projects, on-site interpretation, and contribution to local conservation efforts. On our Small Group Travel, we use eco-lodges and hotels with amenities such as a pool and outdoor spa, cardio gym, laundry facilities, WiFi, piped in pure spring water, yoga classes, and rooms with air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, satellite TV and DVD players. Some are free standing rainforest villas, while others have won ecotourism awards . Accommodation on custom trips can include these accommodations as well.

On our Small Group Travel, we use hotels like the stylish Hotel Cairns, located a block from the ocean. The hotel features a gorgeous pool and outdoor spa, cardio gym, laundry facilities, WiFi, and rooms with air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, satellite TV and DVD player. We also may stay at the superb Sanctuary Retreat Eco-lodge, where free-standing rainforest villas offer comforts like showers with rainforest views, private veranda, in-room tea and coffee facilities and mini-bar, plus the Retreat offers internet, plunge pool, massage, and yoga classes.
