Slow Travel

Quest has five activity centres along the coast, reducing the local dependency on fishing by providing employment in water sports and hospitality. They promote activities that use non-motorised power — paddle, pedal or wind. With core values of environmental and social responsibility, Quest employs eight boys from the Don Bosco Shelter Home for orphans and street kids as guides at its Rameshwaram centre, teaches local children kayaking, employs elderly gardeners, and gives lifeguard and snorkelling training to fishermen to help them find work in tourism.
