FAQs
Reservations are required for guaranteed spots on all tours. Reservations help us determine the number of guides we need to ensure that our groups remain manageable and enjoyable, and allows us to notify you of changes to the tour due to weather or anything that could disturb the tours. Any late arrivals with reservations who do not contact us may have their reserved spots allotted to walk-up guests.
Walk-up guests for these tours will be permitted if space is available. However, we strongly suggest contacting us before walking up to a tour. Groups of 6 or more MUST contact us before reserving.
