Difficulty levels
Physical level required and the risks involved
To ensure you have the best possible experience, it’s essential to select a trip that suits your abilities. Our scales for physical requirements and risk are designed to help you find the right adventure for you.
We ask that all participants come prepared for the trip they book and familiarize themselves with what the journey involves. Be sure to read the “Tour Facts” section carefully to understand the physical level required and the potential risks for each trip. This will help you feel confident and ready for your adventure.
Safety
Safety is always the number one consideration
Your safety comes first on every Feel Green Travel adventure. If an emergency arises, help can reach you quickly. Our office has a 24-hour emergency hotline, and your guide always has the means to call for assistance.
All our guides are trained in first aid and carry essential medical supplies to handle situations in the field.
We plan trips carefully, taking into account weather, trail conditions, and the needs of the group. Our goal is to look out for each other and work as one team. Guides make safety decisions when needed, and they do so openly, keeping you informed and often involving you in the process.
At Feel Green Travel, we design our adventures to keep risk low and fun high, so you can focus on enjoying the journey with confidence.
Physical Requirements
Adventure trips involve physical activities
All Feel Green Travel tours/trips include physical activity. We consider factors such as fitness level, altitude, technical skills, trip length, accommodations, and mental challenge when designing our adventures. You don’t need to be an athlete to join us, but investing some effort in preparation will make your experience more enjoyable. Remember—getting ready is at least half the journey! The type and amount of preparation depend on your experience and the difficulty level of the tour/trip.
