Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $210 a day this sits a little under the $222 median for adventure & outdoor. It is cheaper than 11 of the 20 adventure & outdoor options mapped here.
- When to go
- Workable across 5 months of the year — Aug-Dec. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 5 days, but the honest range is 3 to 10. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
