Why we give back!

We have been involved in tourism for nearly 2 decades (see our About Us) and have experienced firsthand the positive and negative impacts tourism can have on the world.

So, when the time came to plan and launch Radelaide Tours, it was paramount that we were a socially and environmentally conscious company. We wanted to put environmental and community considerations at the forefront of what we do whilst also providing outstanding experiences to our guests.

How we give back!

Reduce use of single plastics
Recycle
Use local South Australian Products
Cater for accessibility and mobility needs
Acknowledge indigenous heritage and culture
Donate to the Hutt St Centre

To help us meet this goal we wish to reduce our effect on the environment and give back to our local community that we run our tours amongst. As part of our operations we have concentrated on reducing our use of single use plastics, recycling products we use and using local South Australian products to ensure the local economy is being supported by our business. We strive to offer experiences that cater to those with accessibility and mobility requirements. We acknowledge the local indigenous heritage of our area and promote indigenous products and businesses.

This is why we have pledged to give $2 per person to support local  charities.

The local charities that we are supporting are:

1.Ngutu College
