The guides have been trained as rapples guides by government schools and the travelers are insured with special insurance in the activity
No previous experience is necessary, but of course, previous experience makes it easier for surfers. There are routes for beginners and advanced, so we adapt the trip to the crowd of participants and the level of fitness and experience. In any case, if you want to improve your skills, you can sign up for a climbing and abseiling course, a 3-day course, at the end of which you can enjoy the experience and go on more trips.
Every person naturally has a fear of heights for some more and for some less it is part of the experience. There are people who get better and some who don’t. There are no people without fear of heights, in a conversation we can find out with you about a suitable route so we can address the fear gradually.
There are abseiling routes that are more suitable for children aged 7-8 and low cliffs, such as abseiling at Makhtesh Ramon or abseiling at Dalton Cliff, etc. In any case, if the child does not object, it is always possible for him to descend in tandem (connected to someone else) and enjoy the experience without having to do anything himself. In most cases, we go to the activities of families with small and large children who enjoy the whole attraction.
A medic comes at the request of the group or they bring him regardless of us.
In any abseiling activity, it is very important to pay attention to the weather conditions, there are cases of floods in the streams, there are cases of dehydration, therefore it is very important to go on such a challenging trip with a professional abseiling guide, the guide has all the tools and training to decide if this or that trip is suitable and when is the best time to go on such an activity.
The ratio of guides to trainees is not a fixed factor, but usually it is a guide for 10. When there is a site with a single surf such as the ” Keshet Cave” it is possible to work with a higher ratio, but this causes longer waits and a delay in the activity. When it comes to crossing a river such as Nahal Qumran or Nahal Tamar, a lower ratio of trainees is needed, such as one guide for every 7 surfers. If the group has a budget, it is recommended to improve the ratio of the guide to every 5 or 6 surfers, which shortens The waiting accelerates the progress of the group and enhances the experience. The trip is custom built according to the number of participants, the level of fitness and experience, the budget, etc. We know how to provide a solution for every situation and every requirement.
The ODT activity is a formation activity for groups interested in a group experience that develops communication and builds leadership and cooperation. In the process, creating assignments that require the assignment manager “and soldiers” to accomplish the goal. It is a type of training or activity that takes place outside the home, often in nature. OTD activities can be very diverse.
OTD activities can benefit people in a variety of ways. They can help improve physical fitness, mental fitness, self-confidence, teamwork and leadership. They can also help people get out of their comfort zone, try new things, and develop new skills.

We adapt the trip to the participants so that everyone will ultimately enjoy it, both children and adults, this is the essence of a private trip.
