Apuseni Experience Difference |
|
Specialized in Apuseni Mountains: we are a grassroots operation, who want to focus only on the Apuseni Mountains. That helps us to provide a quality and authentic travel experience for you while supporting the communities and the nature we love.
A Flexible experience: you can choose what fits you best from our standard trips or design your own experience, using the information provided under tailor made trips section of this website. And if you still can’t find what you like, you have one chance left: use our “unusual request” and we’ll try to meet your needs.

Flexible time: We don’t establish dates for our trips upfront. We simply let you choose the period and the season, so you are entirely free to organize your travel.
Expect the unexpected: Sometimes things are not going as they were planned, and that’s not a huge problem to us. Actually, we like to take the challenge and find out innovative solutions that make our trips more funny and rewarding..

| Our environmental and ethical policy |
| |
|
|
Fair trade travel - we pay people with the fair wage for the services that they provide to us and we make sure that nothing we do in the mountains or in our office exploits people.
We encourage learning about local cultures- ecotourism is an educational process, both for the traveler and for the local people. We encourage you to learn about local culture and we design our trips according with this principle. We believe that our trips are created in order to facilitate you not merely to see but to understand.
Local guides and local services – we use in our programs as much as we can, local services and local people.

This is good for the local communities, because we help them to become self sustainable and reliable and is good for you too, because you can have a strong interaction with the locals, and they know very well their area, so the quality of your experience remains high.
Small groups: we promote travel in small groups: 4 to 12 people. That allows us to interact with you much easier and to keep a good quality of the entire trip. The group dynamic is much better and you enjoy your holiday in a small, friendly group, instead in a large one.
Respect for local communities and their environment. Our guides and staff will help you to understand and respect the places and people you are visiting, so you’ll be more comfortable and enriched visiting them.
Leave No Trace: we try to leave fewer footprints in our office and in the outdoors. We take special care of the waste management in our trips, we use as much as possible sustainable ways for transport and eat and consume local products. In the office, we use recycled paper for all of our docs and we print all of our brochures on recycled paper. We were the first in this business in Romania promoting Leave No Trace principles among our staff, partners and customers.
Invest money and effort into conservation: we pledge between 5 to 10 % of our incomes into local projects that support nature and local culture conservation. We are partners of the Apuseni Nature Park and other protected areas and landscapes.
