Itineraries and tailor-made tours
Note that itineraries are flexible - changes may be made
due to weather or transport considerations etc. No activities are
compulsory and alternative options can usually be offered.
In addition to their scheduled tours, tailor made options
can be organized or existing itineraries re-arranged for groups, clubs,
with specific requirements or special interests. e.g:
- beach extensions
- city stop-overs
- bird watching tours
- cycling tours
- sailing
- food and cooking
- kayaking and rafting trips
and so-on - please contact them for more information.
Group sizes are limited to a maximum of 8 persons. Gecko
believe smaller groups are less intrusive to culture and environment,
allow genuine cultural interaction and on a social level prove to be more
fun. Try being unobtrusive in a hill tribe village or spotting wildlife
with twenty tourists around!
Respect for local cultures and positive environmental
impact is essential to their tours. They contribute to local economies in
various ways, e.g working with local guides, using public transport and
staying in independently run guest houses and hotels. Their tours emphasise
individual responsibilities for the environment and they are developing
links with local conservation projects in Thailand.
