Advise at the time of booking if you have requests for Gluten Free, Vegan, Kosher, Non-Dairy, Special Diets or any type of custom meal package. Advance notice is required.
Children
Children aged 6 years and older are welcome to accompany their families; however, we are not able to offer discounted rates because each passenger will require their own seat in the aircraft. Parents are responsible for their children and must ensure they follow guide or lodge personnel instructions at all times. Childcare is not available at the lodge or during guided activities.
