The Importance of Gratuity...

Our guides work in the industry because they love being outdoors, teaching others, and meeting people like you.  None of us are in this line of work for the money!  That said, like wait staff at a restaurant, our guides' wages are determined with gratuity in mind.  It is the industry standard to leave a tip for your guide if you had an enjoyable trip.  Please keep this in mind when the time comes.  Gratuity is always appreciated!

Larger group bookings are often a fair amount more work for our guides.  In order to ensure their extra work is compensated, we ask that any groups of 8 or more people booking together provide AT LEAST a $5 / participant gratuity for the guide.  If, with a group this large, the minimum gratuity is not provided, we will charge your credit card for the difference of what you did provide and the minimum.  There will be a 3% charge on top of this if we have to use your credit card.  If you were really happy with the job the guide did, please feel free to tip beyond this minimum.

Thanks so much for understanding, and helping to keep our guides motivated and excited about all the information they have to pass on.  A little reward for a job well done goes a long way!
