Imagine Cruises is an advanced Eco-Accredited company operating in beautiful Port Stephens. All of their tours are designed to combine environment and tourism in a successful partnership. They showcase the best that the Port Stephens-Great Lakes Marine Park has to offer, while simultaneously doing their best to educate guests and take care of the spectacular environment as well as the creatures, both land and sea, that inhabit it.
Imagine was built in 1995 by company director Frank Future, and then business partner Yves Papin, with the help of a group of stakeholders. The boat was launched with a vision to help make Port Stephens a model of Ecotourism. For over twenty years Imagine has continued to support research and conservation initiatives such as the Dolphin Research Education and Management (DREAM) research fund, Eco Network Port Stephens, Ocean and Coastal Care Initiatives, International Whaling Commission, Eco-tourism Australia and the Marine Parks Association.
Committed to best practice business operation, Imagine Cruises believes they must manage themselves responsibly within their natural environment if future generations are to have the same experiences that they have.
Ecotourism Australia uses standards that are internationally recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). Ecotourism Australia's certification programs assure travellers that certified products are backed by a strong, well-managed commitment to environmental, socio-economic and culturally sustainable practices.
