Weekend hikes are rightfully considered the cheapest option for active recreation, as they involve a minimum period of use of equipment, a minimum of costs for food and other services included in the price of the voucher. It is better to purchase such active tours from companies, then the price of the voucher will include insurance, equipment and the services of a professional instructor.
It is necessary
- - information about proposals for organizing weekend trips in your or another region;
- - individual equipment in accordance with the recommendations of the organizers;
- - individual equipment (can be provided by the organizers).
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the duration and type of trip you are interested in from those offered by tour operators. Depending on your desire and financial capabilities, you can send on a one- or two-day hike. For so-called “long weekends”, increased by public holidays, hiking with several nights is often offered. In summer, hiking, water, horseback and combined trips can be organized, while in winter, hiking and skiing trips can be organized. When choosing a tour not in your region, take into account the costs and time of travel to and from the final point of the route when planning.
Step 2
Study the reviews of other tourists about the companies of interest and the trips they organize.
Step 3
Contact the selected company and place an order. If you purchase a voucher in advance, you have a better chance of availability. Often, when booking, an advance payment is required: when ordering in advance, it is usually partial, and if there is not much time left before the start of the hike, full.
Step 4
Make the payment in the most convenient way for you: in cash or by card at the tour operator's office, by bank transfer to his current account or other as agreed with him.
Step 5
Listen or study carefully the operator's recommendations in writing regarding the equipment, the necessary equipment, if it is not provided within the cost of the tour or for a fee, etc. and strictly follow them.
Step 6
Arrive at the appointed time at the starting point (this can be both the starting point of your hike, or the place from where you will be taken there by the tour operator's transport, or you will follow yourself as part of a group and accompanied by an instructor) and go along the route of the hike.
