INCLEMENT WEATHER
Your experienced tour guide is the only one who decides if a trip is postponed or canceled. We have tours rain or shine or snow, but sometimes it is necessary to wait out a thunderstorm. We rarely cancel. Tours are almost never delayed because of snow--it's part of the adventure! If a weather system poses any danger to a tour, the trip is usually postponed briefly and resumed once the threat has passed.
PAYMENT

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. If paying by card, please pay online before arriving.

At the end of your tour, if you feel your guide did an exceptional job, tipping is greatly appreciated. While the amount of gratuity is a personal preference, $5 - $10 per person is a typical amount. Your guide can accept cash for gratuities or you can call the office to use a credit card..
