Moonraker Charters and Advanced Ecotourism

Moonraker Dolphin Swim is proud to have achieved Advanced Ecotourism Certification for all our operations and cruises - the highest eco certification attainable here in Australia. This Accreditation ensures our guests have the opportunity to learn about and appreciate the environment, as an operator this accreditation highlights our commitment to the ongoing conservation of our pristine environment and wildlife we encounter on a daily basis.

What is Eco Tourism?

Ecotourism Australia's Eco Certification Program, describes Ecotourism as: " Ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus of experiencing natural areas that fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation."

What is the Eco Certification Program?

The Eco Certification Program is an initiative of Ecotourism Australia, which has established an Eco Certification Program Management Committee to provide policy and management support for the program.
The Eco Certification Program operates as a self-funding, not-for-profit program, with a Management Committee overseeing an Audit and Assessment Panel, which are chaired by a person independent of Ecotourism Australia.
Credibility with industry, communities and travellers is at the heart of the Eco Certification Program.

This is maintained through:

A rigorous assessment process including referees

Review and updating of criteria every three years to reflect emerging best practice

Feedback from customers of accredited operators

Audits of operators, including an on-site audit on the entire set of the Eco Certification Program criteria at some stage during the period of accreditation.
