| What sets the Plantation Golf Resort & Spa apart from other Crystal River Hotels is a steadfast focus on energy, water, & solid waste conservation. At our resort, we take great pride in our location along the picturesque “Nature Coast”, and the preservation of the natural beauty & cleanliness of our surroundings is a primary tenet of our hotel management philosophy. Our eco-friendly resort is a proud member of the Green Hotels Association, a large organization of hotel accommodations across the nation that strive to provide a “greener” hotel experience. On top of a 135 page resource entitled Guidelines & Ideas, the Green Hotel Association provides a bi-weekly newsletter filled with the latest eco- friendly strategies for the hospitality industry, which we consistently apply to the way we manage our hotel. Come discover why staying at a Florida green hotel can provide for a more relaxing and affordable experience. Staying conscious of our environment is what has helped make us one of the best hotels in Florida and through our commitment & dedication we can focus on providing a more energy- conscious and eco-friendly Florida hotel experience in Crystal River.

| What is an Ecotour? Although some travel companies use the term loosely to mean 'adventure travel' or 'travel to nature', standards have been set to establish the definition of 'ecotourism'. An ecotour is a small, individually guided tour that takes into consideration conservation and preservation issues, donates to the local economy, and teaches the travelers something about the nature and culture of the area in which they are located. An ecotour will among other things always: * Minimize impact, * Emphasize passive observation, * Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect, * Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts, * Provide direct financial benefits for conservation, * Raise sensitivity to the host area's political environmental, and social climate. An ecotour will never encourage you to intrude on wildlife and never, ever encourage you to pet or feed wild animals. At Aardvark's Florida Kayak Company, we are founded on the core principles of Environmental Ethics and Sustainability. We believe that true ecotourism is an ethic, not just a marketing tool Call 352-795-5650 for Ecotour Reservations |
