SUSTAINABILITY

About

Our mission is to reduce our environmental impact while supporting vital local conservation initiatives and ensuring that the natural wonders of this unique ecosystem can be enjoyed by future generations.

Island Life Adventures is committed to sustainability and in 2024 invested in energy-efficient propellers that has reduced our fuel consumption by 15%. The Sharrow Propellers have also reduced our noise pollution allowing us to observe marine life more closely without disturbing them in their natural habita.

Education

“The Dirk Hartog Island National Park Return to 1616 Ecological Restoration project is managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA). This project is aimed at recovering the natural values of the island – including the establishment of a safe refuge for endangered animals. DBCA has eradicated sheep, goats and feral cats – making it the largest island in the world to be feral cat free. With their removal, 13 native animal species that once inhabited the island will be returned between 2018 and 2030. Visitors to the island are educated on the project and encouraged to spread the word on the milestones being achieved.

Contribution

Dirk Hartog Island Eco Lodge has supported the project via discounted accommodation, transportation of DBCA vehicles, fuel and supplies ex Denham and Steep Point on our purpose built landing barge.
