What’s not included in my Lodge trip?
Accommodation before and after your Lodge trip and transportation to staging/heli-port.
How safe are the trips?
We implement risk management strategies to help mitigate risks and we explain the conditions and risks so we can make decisions as a team. However, participating in the activities is not without risk and all risk cannot be mitigated. Many risks, dangers and hazards and terrain is uninspected, uncontrolled and unmarked and the guide may fail to predict whether the terrain is safe for the activities.
Every participant is required to sign a wavier where they freely accept the risk, dangers and hazards associated with participating in the activities and waive their legal right to claim compensation in the event of an incident. See the Waiver Requirement.
How fit do I need to be?
Guest should be comfortable ascending 600m/2000 feet at a moderate rate. Most hiking trips are 4-8hrs and ascend between 1000m-2000m. Good comfortable modern equipment goes a long ways.
Should I purchase trip insurance?
YES, we highly recommend TRIP INSURANCE. Especially in these crazy times! As we are a small company, cancelling a trip can get complicated. Trip planning has already began, cooks have been hired, food bought. Finding a replacement for your trip can be difficult last minute. Most lodges have their own policies which can vary from full refund to none at all so it is important to understand that. Most prices are shared with other group members so prices may vary if a member of your group cannot make it. See our cancellation page for more info.
