Environmental Stewardship
The Northwest Passage has a proud tradition of environmental and social stewardship. Simply put, we believe it's important to take care of the places we visit, and give back to the people who act as our local guides and hosts. Contact us for more information about our environmental initiatives, and for tips to reduce your impact on the environment at home and while on vacation.
Comfort
At the end of a day spent outdoors, you want a hearty meal and good night's rest. We pay careful attention to the food and accommodations you enjoy. On inn-to-inn trips you visit small, family owned inns and restaurants, chosen for their welcoming hospitality, fresh food and high service standards. For our camping trips we prepare delicious meals in your campsite, offering up fresh seafood on a secluded caye or hearty fajitas enjoyed around a campfire. We use high quality tents and equipment, and help you choose the right personal gear to keep you snug and comfortable all night.
