Key Consideration Factors

Review the online ratings and testimonials of any activity provider prior to engaging in the activity or adventure to ensure their credibility and commitment to safety. It is also crucial to have a proper understanding of the provider’s policies and guidelines. Doing so helps ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
  • Weather: For optimal planning of outdoor events and excursions, it’s recommended to monitor the weather forecasts in advance. This allows for coordination around days marked by sunshine and favourable conditions. Additionally, make sure to establish appropriate alternative arrangements in case of inclement weather conditions.
  • Availability: Ensure that the desired activity or service is readily available and accessible to meet your needs. Check the availability of the activity provider or service provider, including their operating hours and availability on specific dates. It is recommended to make reservations or bookings in advance to secure your spot and avoid disappointment.
  • Accessibility: It is crucial to prioritise accessibility, ensuring that individuals with different needs can fully participate. This includes those with physical, cognitive, or sensory impairments. Prioritising accessibility ensures that everyone, regardless of their needs or abilities, can participate and enjoy the activities.
