For any outdoor activities, Hekaya has a standard to check if the experience is matching and safe for operation.
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.
Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) standards are used to define difficulties level:
Level | Colour code | Description | Example of Activities |
Light | Guests should be comfortable sitting, standing, or walking for extended periods of time. | Easy hikes, walking tours, wildlife tours, and cooking or art classes. | |
Moderate | Guests should be comfortable participating in multiple hours of physical activity (3+ hours). | Activities may include things like longer hikes, biking, kayaking, snorkeling, and horse or camel rides. | |
Strenuous | Guests should be comfortable participating in highly physical activities that may last the entire day (6+ hours), and past experience with the included activities is recommended. | Full-day activities may include things like long hikes, bike rides, and kayaking. Adventures may also include higher altitudes, steep ascents/descents, strong currents, and rougher terrain or water. | |
Extreme | These Adventures are the most physically demanding, so prior experience or related training is strongly advised. | Activities are highly challenging and may last the entire day (8+ hours). All-day activities may include things like strenuous hiking, biking over uneven terrain, and intense rock climbing. Adventures may also include higher altitudes, steep ascents/descents, strong currents, and rougher terrain or water. |
