Sustainable Tourism:
Dolphin Bay Preserve is committed to environmentally sustainable practices, and is in compliance with the Bocas del Toro Coastal Management Plan, released by the University of Miami.

• We use boats with 4-stroke engines, which are more economical on gas and minimize emissions into the air and water.
• Our composting toilet ensures no wastes are being released into the environment, and provides nutrient-rich soils.
• Our trails are designed to minimize soil erosion while maximizing wildlife viewing.
• Our rammed earth dams provide the farm with water for irrigation, while using simple yet efficient environmental technology.
• The lunch provided is made with local produce, juice is served in reusable plastic cups, and all waste is either composted or recycled.
• We provide our guests with natural, locally made insect repellent, so we are not releasing harmful chemicals into the environment.

Dolphin Bay Preserve also participates in local beach clean-ups, and supports local initiatives and institutions like the Bocas Sustainable Tourism Alliance and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
