Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you go. Still unsure? Reach out via support.

  • 1What is Radikal?

    Radikal is where you find small-group trips, courses and retreats created and led by experienced outdoor professionals. Every experience is built around three things: learning a real skill, travelling safely, and connecting with a small group of people who love the outdoors as much as you do.

  • 2Why book with Radikal instead of a regular tour?

    Because you come home with more than photos. Your guide is a verified expert who teaches as you go, your group stays small enough for real attention, and safety is planned into every step. You also get one place to compare trips, read reviews from past travellers, book, and reach our support team if anything comes up.

  • 3Who are the guides, and how are they verified?

    Guides apply to join Radikal and our team reviews every application before they can list a trip. Each guide has a public profile showing their experience, certifications, languages, past trips and reviews, so you know exactly who you’ll be learning from before you book.

  • 4Will I actually learn something?

    That’s the point. Trips and courses are led by experienced outdoor professionals, with hands-on practice in the field and room to progress at your own pace. Browse the sport guides at the bottom of every page to see how skills build up, then pick a trip or course that matches where you are.

  • 5Do I need prior experience or a certain fitness level?

    It depends on the trip. Look for the “Beginner friendly” travel style if you’re just starting out. Each trip page describes the itinerary so you can judge the pace. Still unsure? Ask our support team before you book and we’ll help you pick the right fit.

  • 6How does Radikal keep trips safe?

    Every trip follows the Radikal Safety Standards: verified, experienced experts, equipment standards and clear safety protocols. Many trips also offer adventure insurance as an add-on, and our support team is a message away.

  • 7How big are the groups?

    Small, on purpose. Smaller groups mean more time with your guide, a lighter footprint on the places we visit and a better chance of making real friends on the trail. Each trip page shows its maximum group size and how many spots are left on every date.

  • 8What’s included in the price?

    Everything under “What’s included” on the trip page. Anything marked “Not included” is yours to arrange. Where a trip offers extras like insurance, accommodation, gear, transport or meals, you can add them at checkout and see the full total before you confirm.

  • 9Can I travel on different dates or plan a private trip?

    Yes. Tap “Request any date” on any trip page to open a chat with our team about that trip. For a private trip with friends, family or your company, use “Plan a custom trip”: tell us where, when and who’s coming, and we’ll match you with the right guide.

  • 10Can I cancel or change my booking?

    You can cancel free of charge up to 1 week before departure. Cancel from your profile, or contact our support team if you’d rather move to another date and we’ll help where spots are available.

  • 11How does Radikal care for the places we visit?

    We keep groups small, favour homestays and local businesses, explore quieter trails, and follow leave-no-trace principles, so the places we love stay wild and the people who live there benefit from every visit.
