  • Necessary licenses or permits that participants must possess to join the experience.
  • Mention if there are age restrictions, physical fitness prerequisites, or any other conditions for obtaining these licenses.
  • Provide guidance on how and where to obtain these licenses if possible.
  • Ensure that participants are aware of the importance of complying with legal requirements to avoid any issues during the experience.

Activities included

List all the activities that participants can expect during the experience. This might include hiking, camping, wildlife viewing, or any unique activities specific to your experience.

when providing details about the activities included in your outdoor experience, you should aim to give potential participants a comprehensive understanding of what they can expect to do and enjoy during the experience.

If specific training is necessary for participants to attend before the experience will be highlighted in this section. The guest will be provided with specific schedule of the training section included the date, time, and location. The guest will be able to book for the training session from the platform.
