How flexible is the route?

The guide uses the latest cloud and weather conditions to choose the most promising accessible area. Flexibility is part of the experience because the best viewing direction can change during the evening.

Yes. Bring charged cameras or phones and the guide can offer practical help with viewpoints and low-light shooting. A tripod is useful if you plan to take longer exposures.

How should our group dress?
