Highlights
Outing Highlights
Set runs on retreat dates
The shuttle operates back and forth on scheduled retreat dates at set times rather than on demand; if you need a different pickup time, additional stops, or a private transfer, you must book a custom shuttle instead.
Discounted per-person fare with a minimum
The shuttle is offered at a discounted per-person rate that depends on a minimum number of passengers; if the minimum of two passengers isn’t met the trip reverts to the operator’s standard custom-shuttle rate.
Simple baggage rules to keep boarding quick
Passengers are allowed two bags each; any additional bag incurs an excess-baggage fee, keeping load-handling predictable for a shared shuttle.
