We believe that our environment is changing and deteriorating and it is a priority to us to provide an environmentally sustainable experience. From our green purchase policy, to our eco tourism certification and eco guide training, we believe that we can make a sustainable difference.
We have taken a pioneering stride towards sustainable outdoor adventures with our impact-focused initiatives. For every ticket sold to our hiking tours, our guests generously donate $1 to Carbon Positive Australia, an organization dedicated to combating climate change through reforestation and carbon offset projects.
Carbon Positive Australia specializes in planting native trees and restoring vital ecosystems, effectively neutralizing carbon emissions and contributing to a greener, healthier planet. This partnership not only allows hikers to revel in the beauty of nature, but also empowers them to be active participants in its preservation. In addition to the one-dollar contribution, The Hike Collective offers an opportunity at checkout to “Plant a Tree” for a mere $4, enabling enthusiasts to amplify their impact even further. This thoughtful approach not only enhances the hiking experience but also fosters a community deeply committed to leaving a positive environmental legacy for generations to come.
The Hike Collective has achieved Eco Tourism Certification with Ecotourism Australia, a non-profit organisation which promotes sustainable travel around Australia. Its primary focus is to work with nature – based tourism operators, to promote and encourage environmentally sound practices.
The Hike Collective is committed to supporting local businesses, decreasing our carbon footprint, and providing our guests with the most authentic and environmentally sustainable experience. Here are just some of the ways we deliver this to you.

The Hike Collective believes that education is important for increasing awareness about where our environmental positioning is at the moment and the role ecotourism can play in achieving sustainability. We are committed to educating our guests on the threats and impacts to the environment in which we operate, and provide best practices to help mitigate the threats and impacts. Many of our guests are unaware of the changes occurring, and the value of sustainable practices. We help them learn how they can have a positive impact on nature, and we spark the conversation to help increase and improve sustainable tourism practices.
The Hike Collective acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which we hike. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present. The Hike Collective is committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.
