Attention to detail and carefully doing your research will help maximize your vacation investment. Here are but a few things to keep in mind:
a) Shop early! The best offerings always fill up the fastest with returning and referred guests. Beware if there is more than minimal availability especially close to prime season.
b) Shop locally. This is a good eco-travel practice anyway, but is a great way to obtain the best experience. Local owners and operators typically know all of the local 'secrets' which can make a huge difference to an overall experience.
c) Be careful when 'bargain' shopping. A good conscientious operator will charge what it cost to provide an experience and stay in business. A careless or inexperienced operator may try to undercut the established competitors but not charge a sustainable price, hence provide a lessor quality product as well not remain in business long, or compromise your safety!
Follow these tips and use good common sense and you'll likely make a better vacation investment while having the experience you really desired.
