Why some tours need two people
Private helicopter flights, buggies and ATVs are often priced per vehicle or per seat pair. If you book alone, you may pay for the empty seat, be paired with a stranger, or not be able to book at all.
Tips
- Shared group tours are almost always bookable alone.
- For ATVs and jet skis, look for “single rider” or “individual vehicle” options.
- Check the price per person versus per vehicle before you pay.
