Frequently Asked Questions

No prior experience is necessary. All our tours are beginner friendly and suited for all ages!
-
You betcha! We work to create a tour that fits your group’s needs and experience level.
-
We will not operate a tour if conditions are dangerous. However, light rain and cool weather is generally not considered dangerous. A day that starts off cool and foggy can quickly warm up to a perfect summer day. Please dress appropriately!
It will be at your guide’s discretion whether or not to operate a tour based on weather conditions.
If conditions are dangerous we will try to reschedule your tour. If we are unable to reschedule, you will receive full refund for your tour. Please try to book early in your trip so that if the weather causes us to reschedule we will be able to find a later date that works for you.

We do not provide transportation between lodging and tour start locations. At least one week prior, we will send you instructions on where to meet us on the day of your tour.
