Calling ahead is a good idea to also insure we are running trips that day. Your group’s reservation requires full payment or credit card commitment in advance. We do not charge the card unless on the day of the trip you prefer that form of payment or your full group does not show as reserved. Trips Go Rain or Shine. All reserved spots will be charged.
