Why Hike With Us?
What's Special about our Hiking Programs!!! Why join us?
We care about your expectations so we urge you to:
Please consider or reconsider, we might plan great trips, but maybe the specific trip you are signing up for is not the most suitable one for you. Maybe you need more experience in the type of activity involved, maybe you need less experience and hence have higher expectations. Please check "Trip Difficulty Level" also minimum age requirements and feel free to give us a call and chat with one of your trip guides to get a better idea.
Some of our Pros when it gets to the Monthly Hiking program:
- We mostly go in small groups. Even if we have a lot of people signed up, we split them into smaller groups (so make sure to be with your friends or maybe not ;)) to guarantee customer satisfaction and faster attendance to clients' requests.
- Add bonus points to receive gifts and discounts to other of our numerous activities/trips. Oh yeah we offer a huge selection of activities/trips/fun weekends isA.
- Widen your social network and find those like minded individuals living near you but you haven't been properly introduced to before.
- Our Ratio of staff to clients is 1 : 12. Also, the staff is super friendly and will take good care of you isA. Some of them used to be clients before (why used to, they still are :D)..
- Become a team player as well, once we announce job openings, priority goes to clients (its some kind of a return investment if you know what I mean). End up earning money while having fun doing what you like .. Why not.
