Activities & Sustainability

Tour and activity partners we work with are carefully selected to share our sustainability philosophy and do not promote activities that have a negative impact on our nature, flora & fauna. Bucuti & Tara is proud to be an environmentally friendly organization, certified by institutions such as Green Globe, LEED and we are proudly certified carbon neutral.

Because ATV & UTV vehicles and tours can do tremendous harm to nature, and personal safety, we do not recommend nor make reservations for our guests.

Impacts include:

  • Accidents happen regularly and have resulted in serious injury and death
  • High cost of liability is often not covered by insurances
  • Disturbing of Animal Habitats
  • Destroying Vegetation
  • Creating Erosion
  • Noise pollution, disturbing local and visitors
  • Air pollution via CO2 emissions and dust
  • Directly Harming to wildlife

Therefore we cannot recommend UTV tours or excursions.

We are happy to recommend the following activities and excursions who we know to act responsibly and do not have a negative impact.

Some companies offer activities that are not sustainable to wildlife, flora and fauna and we do not promote them.

We strongly recommend you to not take part in any activities which may cause harm to any animals, plantlife or their habitats.   Our sand dunes were created over centuries and are perishable.  They also provide habitat to animal and birdlife. We promote preserving them for future generations.
