01Is every crater always accessible?+
No. Road, weather and reserve conditions can affect access, so the exact itinerary is confirmed near your date.
02What should I wear?+
Wear closed shoes, sun protection and layered clothing. Desert temperatures can change significantly.
03Where do we meet?+
The meeting point depends on the operator and departure. Your confirmation includes a map, arrival time and local contact details.
04What should I bring?+
Bring sun protection, comfortable clothing, a photo ID and any personal medication. Water activities may require a towel and a dry change of clothes.

Safety comes first. If the operator cannot run because of weather, a Port Captain closure or another safety issue, the amount paid becomes a booking credit valid for 12 months instead of a cash refund.
