      TravelerWritten May 2025

      I know that we can go on the land only a group of 100. how do you manage when there are 170 passenger?

    • InventiaOperatorWritten May 2025

      We recommend smaller ships (max. 108) so that you do not have to share the time spent at land. 100 people at land and about 15 kayaking works. With larger ships you go out in shifts.
