Planet
CARBON REDUCTIONWe are committed to reducing the operational carbon emissions of your trip by promoting sustainable and eco-friendly travel options. To minimize our carbon footprint, we prioritize the use of human-powered transport. During this trip, cycling will be the primary mode of exploration, allowing you to enjoy the stunning landscapes of the Curonian Spit for several days while significantly reducing your carbon emissions.
Additionally, shared local transport options are utilized whenever necessary, including buses and trains, to further decrease CO2 emissions per person. In case you would like to us to arrange your travel from Vilnius, let us know and we will offer the best available options.
We also advise our customers on how to reduce the carbon impacts of their holiday. By choosing cycling over car travel, and by opting for locally-sourced, seasonal foods, you can make a positive impact on the environment. Vegetarian and vegan food options are available throughout the trip, further contributing to carbon reduction.
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
The Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a fragile ecosystem that requires careful preservation. To protect the environment and wildlife, we have established special paths for travelers and cyclists, ensuring that visitors can experience the breathtaking nature without disturbing the delicate balance of the ecosystem. A key example is the Nagliai Dune and nature reserve in Nida, where paths have been created to prevent damage from over-tourism, safeguarding the dunes and the wildlife that inhabit them.
Our commitment to environmental preservation extends to working with local communities. We collaborate with local transport providers who consolidate trips to minimize unnecessary car rides, thus reducing the environmental impact on the region. This approach not only supports the local economy but also helps in protecting the natural habitats and wildlife that make the Curonian Spit so unique.
People
You'll have the opportunity to stay in locally-owned accommodations, offering you a unique chance to connect with the community. During your stay, the locals will warmly welcome you and share their insider tips on the best restaurants and cafes to visit, ensuring you enjoy an authentic experience. By choosing to stay in their guesthouses, you directly contribute to the local economy, helping small businesses thrive.In addition to the enriching cultural experiences, you'll also get to indulge in the freshest local seafood. The fish you’ll enjoy is caught by local fishermen who take pride in their craft, often smoking their catch on the same day to ensure you experience the true taste of the region.
For your adventures, the bikes you rent come from a local entrepreneur who is always ready to assist, providing support anytime and anywhere. We believe that engaging with local businesses and communities is the best way to truly immerse yourself in and explore new places.
