FAQ
1 How to book an activity?
- By event: Each event has its own available time, book directly
- By date: If you only have time on certain days, you can check: What activities are available on the dates you have time?
2. How are the fees charged? What is the difference between adults and children?
- The price indicated is per person, the same price for adults and children
- Regarding whether "same price for adults and children" is fair, our starting point is: the same price for children is that in outdoor activities, children generally need more care; the same price for adults is that we welcome parents who are interested in nature to participate, so that it can really be infectious to children. If you don't like it yourself, but just have to accompany, we recommend participating in the "independent camp" of other institutions (recommendations are in the guide). We found that reluctantly accompanying can easily become a negative factor in a shared trip, such as not understanding the need to stop and observe plants, and easily expressing opinions that are contrary to the travel intention of enjoying nature. Therefore, we have no intention of charging a lower price as an attraction just because the guests are not interested, which will affect other guests.
3. How to gather? Is there any pick-up?
- Go directly to the meeting point. After booking, the guide will send you the exact location of the meeting place.
- There is no pick-up (except for independent groups). Guests usually live in a large area, and picking them up separately will greatly waste each other's time. Some activities that come back at night will be sent to the inn (only included near the ancient city)
