Special: Guana Island featured in Islands Magazine as a top 100 leader in responsible tourism
Company: Guana Island

Location: British Virgin Islands

Details: Guana Island is listed in the December 2007 issue of Islands as a "Blue List" property," one of the top 100 leaders in responsible tourism who ensure that islands remain environmentally and culturally sound for future generations." The American owners of the British Virgin isle have created a refuge for Caribbean wildlife as well as for travelers seeking an elemental-yet-luxurious tropical escape," said Islands Magazine. Miles of walking and hiking trails meander through the hills and valleys offering guests magnificent views of other islands, the Caribbean and the Atlantic Oceans. The resort limits its occupancy to just 42 guests – singles, couples or even groups who rent the entire Island. Guests, which have use of seven white sand beaches, are accommodated in fifteen guest rooms and three luxury Villas, each with its own pool, and one on its own beach. Full American plan meals are served on scenic dining terraces with views of both oceans. The cuisine is a variety of European, American and Caribbean specialties prepared by local chefs, featuring fresh local seafood dishes and island grown fruits and vegetables.

Special: Green Tourism Goes Retro in San Francisco

Company: Mr. Toad’s Tours

Location: San Francisco, California

Details: Mr. Toad’s Tours began giving daily tours of San Francisco in July 2005 and continues to be the only eco-friendly tour company in San Francisco with daily departures from Fisherman’s Wharf. Each tour is given in a beautiful pre-1930s touring car. Thanks to their propane-powered engines, they have 60% fewer ozone-forming emissions than gasoline. In fitting only 10 passengers per car, we offer an extremely fun and personal way to see San Francisco and we can go up hills that none of the buses can go up. The success of Mr. Toad’s first vehicle, the 1929 Model A Woodie, has allowed Mr. Toad’s Tours to customize more cars. Mr. Toad’s Tours offers three sightseeing tours, an 80 minute “Hop around the City,” a 2.5 hour “Postcard San Francisco Tour” and a 75 minute “San Francisco by Night Tour.” Tours can be combined with a number of local attractions, hotels, and other boutique tours.
● Rate: $30-$45

● End Date: tours run hourly from 10:00am – 7:00pm.
