What competitors don't have

Built for the things FareHarbor & Bokun ignore.

Every adventure operator we've onboarded came in saying "the big platforms don't get our weather problem / our partner problem / our WhatsApp problem." So we built the platform that does.

AI

Bookings by conversation, not by form

Customers WhatsApp you in plain English. Gemini AI reads intent, party size, date — drafts a reply, holds the slot, sends a pay link. Your team just hits send.

"Need 5 spots for kayaking Saturday at 9"
AI draft
Sat 26 Apr · 09:00 · 5 spots free · R 3,250. Holding for 15 min — pay link?
AI
Weather

Cancel a day. Refund nobody until they choose.

One click closes every affected slot. Customers get a WhatsApp + email link to your My Bookings page where they pick reschedule, voucher, or refund. Most pick reschedule. Cash stays in.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Most operators are taking real bookings within 48 hours. We onboard you on a 90-min Zoom call, import your tours, set up your subdomain, plug in Yoco, and you're live.

Ready when you are

Stop juggling tabs. Start running the season.

Most operators sign up Friday and take their first paid booking by Monday. We do the heavy lifting — you keep paddling.
