Green Wheels
We believe it is important to minimize our footprint. As outdoor lovers we’d like to work with nature, not against it. We realize our bus isn’t the most environmental friendly bus, so this is how we compensate.
solar panels
We have enough solar panels on our roof to give power to the full bus. Enough to charge your cameras, keep your drinks cool and enjoy nice tunes in the evening.
Destinations
We’ll show our guests you don’t have to go far to experience cool things. We’ll drive a max of 600 km per trip because we believe adventure lies around your corner!
Recycle
When building the bus, we have tried to to use as many recycled materials as we could. Did you know that the old ‘stop-button’ is now a light switch for example?
no meat
We don’t serve meat on our trips, but don’t worry: you won’t even notice, food will still be lovely!
