WHat is regenerative tourism?

Regenerative Travel is an innovative approach to tourism that focuses on making a positive impact on the environment, economy, and communities of the destinations we visit. At First Nature Tours, we believe in the power of travel to create meaningful and transformative experiences that not only benefit the traveler but also contribute to the well-being of the places we visit.

Our primary objective is to provide transformative journeys that combine adventure, stewardship, education, and unforgettable experiences. We harness the power of nature to heal both people and the planet, offering regenerative experiences that leave a positive impact. Explore our range of offerings designed to immerse guests in sustainable practices, foster environmental stewardship, and create lasting memories.

 

SUSTAINABLE ACTIVITY MENU:

We organize beach cleanups where participants can actively contribute to removing harmful micro-plastics from coastal areas, helping to protect marine life and preserve pristine beaches.
In the beautiful Savana region of Northwest Wine Country, participants can engage in planting native oak trees, supporting the restoration of the local ecosystem and promoting biodiversity.
Adventure enthusiasts can participate in trail restoration projects,
focusing on both mountain bike trails and hiking trails. By contributing to the
maintenance and improvement of these trails, participants help preserve the Northwest’s natural beauty and enhance outdoor recreational opportunities.
In areas impacted by devastating fires, participants have the opportunity to plant seedlings and contribute to the reforestation efforts. This hands-on
experience helps restore habitats and combat the effects of wildfires.
The Northwest has vital ecosystems for salmon. Participants can get involved in removing invasive species, improving salmon habitat in streams, and supporting the recovery of this important fish species.
