BAD FISHY JET BOATING ECOTOURISM

As a part of Cairns Adventure Group, Bad Fishy Jet Boating takes our commitment to environmental sustainability and ecotourism seriously. We are ecotourism warriors; pledged to maintain and respect the pristine, unique and fragile environment, within which we live and work. We believe conservation starts with education. We take guests into our World Heritage areas and national parks, providing them with not only an awesome time, but the information needed to have a better understanding of why we need to preserve and protect these wild places. Through adventurous engagement with the natural environment, we help build awareness and connection, fostering the desire to help protect it. In addition, we partner with local organisations such as Parley For The Oceans where we offer our vessels to assist with cleaning up any hard rubbish within The Trinity Inlet. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land and sea and recognise their connection to this cultural landscape. Bad Fishy Jet Boating operates in the Trinity Inlet area, which the Wet Tropics recognise as being a part of the traditional lands of three different Traditional Owner Groups. The Inlet water ways are recognised as Traditional Sea County by Yirrganydji (Irukandji) People. Admiralty Island is recognised as Gimuy Walubara Yidinji People’s Country. Land to east side of Inlet is Mandingalbay Yidinji People’s Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.

We aim to better educate our guests about what they can do to have a positive impact on the environment.
