Mike Nature Tours’ Enrironmental Policy

At Mike Nature Tours, we are committed to promoting the protection and conservation of the environment in all our activities. As a company that offers tours in the Manuel Antonio and Quepos area, we recognize our responsibility in preserving these valuable ecosystems. Through sustainable practices and environmental education, we seek to minimize our impact on nature and promote ecological awareness among our clients and the community.

Our main environmental practices include:

1. Recycling: We have implemented a recycling system at our facilities, where we separate, clean, and properly dispose of plastics, glass, paper, and aluminum. Furthermore, we encourage our clients to actively participate in recycling by providing them with the opportunity to leave recyclable materials at the end of the tour. We ensure that these materials are taken to the appropriate collection centers.
2. Small Tour Groups: To minimize environmental impact, we limit the size of our tourist groups. We believe that smaller groups allow for a more intimate and less intrusive experience in the natural environments we visit. This helps us preserve the local flora and fauna by avoiding significant disturbances.
3. Environmental Education: During our tours, we promote and educate about responsible environmental practices. We inform our clients about the importance of conserving natural ecosystems, respecting biodiversity, and preserving the natural beauty of the region. We encourage respect for nature and provide guidelines on how to minimize environmental impact during their visit.
4. Efficient Resource Use: We are committed to using natural resources efficiently in our daily operations. We implement measures to reduce water and energy consumption, as well as other resources, encouraging responsible and conscious use. We also strive to use eco-friendly products and materials whenever possible.
5. Collaboration with the Community: We work closely with local communities, environmental authorities, and conservation organizations to promote environmental protection. We participate in activities and projects that contribute to the conservation of natural resources and support local initiatives related to sustainability and the preservation of the environment.

At Mike Nature Tours, we strive to be leaders in responsible and sustainable tourism. We are committed to continuously improving our practices and mitigating any negative impact on the environment. Through our environmental policy, we aim to inspire our clients and the community at large to join us in this shared effort to protect and preserve the natural beauty of Manuel Antonio, Quepos, and its surroundings.
