Before you contact a provider
- Confirm departure location, duration, age or mobility requirements, clothing or equipment needs, and cancellation terms.
- For marine or outdoor activities, ask how weather or unsafe conditions are handled and what happens if a trip is cancelled.
- Leave realistic travel time between communities, particularly when ferries, mountain roads, or Pacific Rim traffic are involved.
