Difficulties level of outdoor experiences

Last updated : 05 Jan 2024

For any outdoor activities, Hekaya has a standard to check if the experience is matching and safe for operation. 

Purpose

To give guests an idea of what to expect, the corporate host classifies their outdoor adventure as one of 4 difficulty levels. From a web browser, you can find this under guest requirements. Be sure to read the description of activities carefully to ensure the adventure is a good fit for you, and feel free to message the host for more info.

Difficulties levels

Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) standards are used to define difficulties level:
