Good to know
This suits anyone curious about foraging, traditional plant knowledge and local ecosystems—couples, families with children (including infants in prams) and friend groups all work well. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have poor cardiovascular health; the experience involves steady walking and bending to observe and collect plants. Infants and small children in prams are fine, and service animals are allowed. The 25-minute walk to the meeting point is on foot from central hotels, with no public transport needed. You'll need comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. The tapa is included; private transport is not.
