How many persons does a group contain ?
Well, it depends on the trip. It can be small group from 15-20 people to 40 people or even more. It will mostly depend on the activity and transportation we will need for a trip because if we need a bus, we will need more people to fill it, or on the other side, something really nice activities can only take small groups. So we will adapt the groups size on the different trips.
Can I pay for my trip in installments ?
For the moment you can’t because, as we are transparent with you, we need to have the full payments in order to pay our providers in advance when we book an activity for a trip for example. However with time, we will try to offer you this possibility as we know that it can be better for some of you.
Can minors come ?
Unfortunately not because there is more liability involved with minors that we cannot currently manage.
When should I book the trip ?

So, the sooner you will book the trip, the better you will be because you will be able to already prepare yourself for the trip and you will get the best price for it !

We are trying to have the best impact on the planet during our trips, before and after. We have started since the beginning to be careful on who we were working with. Even our website host is supposed to be ecological. We will avoid plane, wasting water, electricity, creating waste etc…as much as possible during the trips and in the daily life of the agency because it is important to us. Moreover, we are trying to make you aware of these questions, and for that, during most of the trips, we will offer you an activity linked with ecology.
