In regards to activities:

● We have regular internal sickness screening protocols in place. Before joining the activity
or experience we ask guests to self-assess their physical condition before joining the
activity.. We inform guests that if they have symptoms, however mild, or are in a group
where someone has symptoms, they are advised to stay at the accommodation and
follow the company’s action plan.
● Physical distancing is to be practiced as much as possible if the group involves more than
one household unit. How each individual moves about throughout the experience will
greatly influence the group’s distancing practices – guides will lead by example
● When dining out with members outside of the household unit, distancing measures
areconsidered. Options may include the use of bigger tables or dining on separate tables
to increase physical distance
● We provide access to hand washing facilities and sanitizer. We ask that guests sanitize
hands when entering any building, kitchen, or dining facility, before starting an activity and
as often as needed throughout the activity.
● We hold briefings and gatherings outside whenever possible.
