ECO ADVENTURE                                 

Eco adventure encompasses tourism and outdoor activities that are enlightening and nature-based or cultural travel experiences that conserve the ecosystem and respect local culture and traditions.

"This new and growing type of tourism promotes outdoor recreational use of the natural environment without disturbing the landscape or wildlife. It also respects the communities and indigenous people that co-exist on the local landscape."

Recreational use of the land encompasses a host of outdoor activities such as wildlife viewing, canoeing, hiking, photography, dog-sledding, and camping.  At times, it offers a chance for interaction with the local people while generating understanding and respect for their way of life.

If you are a bird watcher, be sure to sign up for a guided outing to the Vanport Wetlands next to the Expo Center.
