BOOKING PERIODS There is no specific period that you should follow for booking, you can even book on the spot and right away, although it’s better to book your adventure a day or two in prior as it will avoid delay in the actual day that you go there! Booking can be in their office, though their website, through a call or even WhatsApp. And the booking amount will be paid accordingly depending on the type of activity you choose.

PROVISIONS ON EQUIPMENT First thing is that customers will be trained, briefed and made familiar with all the equipment and their usage, second thing is that all of the activities are being closely supervised and monitored by professional instructors and people who are in charge, and third thing is that the provisions and rules will be explained by the instructor and there are also notice boards for the same!

PAYMENT PROCEDURES

PENALTIES & FINES

The payments will be the same way as the booking, if the booking is done online then the payment will be online too, and if the booking is done on the spot, the payment will be in the same way.

As far as I have researched, I could not get the exact type or amount for penalties of fines, but what I have found is that any person doing things that are not allowed or are not appropriate will be confronted on the spot by the instructors and will be made sure not to repeat it again.
