We work exclusively with smaller local suppliers, which require higher minimum bookings to run our experiences, when compared to conventional tour & travel operators.

As such, a deposit is required to secure this booking, which is refundable should we not meet these minimums.

That means you pay less upfront to secure your spot, and our suppliers can continue to trust that we'll deliver on our promise to support their businesses sustainably & in the long-term.
