Book through SoFun on WhatsApp. Checking a date is free. Once we confirm, most activities are paid in full by card online, while horse riding and the carriage ride need a 20% deposit and the rest is paid on site. If the weather stops an activity, you get a new date or a full refund. We can also send a car to your hotel, paid in cash to the driver.

Many of these come with a discount if you have an active SoFun Card.
