Stormsriver Adventures, a pioneer in responsible tourism, has been recertified by Fair Trade Tourism (FTT). They were among the first adventure companies to receive this accreditation back in 2003. FTT is a non-profit that promotes responsible tourism practices across Africa. Through memberships and certifications, they help businesses operate sustainably and raise awareness about responsible tourism.
Stormsriver Adventures has always been committed to environmental education, conservation, and community upliftment. They recently received a re-accreditation score of 94% for mandatory criteria and 80% for general criteria, solidifying their position as one of South Africa's longest-standing Fair Trade certified adventure companies.
An independent audit praised Stormsriver Adventures' deep commitment to community, sustainable practices, and the environment. They also highlighted Stormsriver's respect for the natural environment, the foundation of their unique experiences.
For over 27 years, Stormsriver Adventures has championed responsible and sustainable tourism built on three pillars: economic, social, and environmental sustainability. "Sustainable development is about meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet theirs," says CEO Ashley Wentworth.
Stormsriver Adventures goes beyond being a buzzword. They offer unforgettable experiences, including the one-of-a-kind Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour. Their guided hikes in the Plaatbos Nature Reserve and the world-renowned Tsitsikamma Woodcutters Journey are equally unmatched.
