Conditions First

Timing matters more than the tour type.

The same experience can feel completely different depending on when you go. Conditions, crowd level, and weather windows often change the quality of the outing more than the label on the tour card.

Plan this in this order

1. When conditions are best

2. How long the experience runs

3. Then which option fits that window
