Frequently Asked Questions

We’re proud of this beautiful country we live in and are excited to share it with you. People come from around the world to see this amazing place, and we want to ensure you see the best it has to offer. Full Cyrcle Adventures gives you the opportunity to escape the city and see some amazing areas that few have the opportunity to experience. We are passionate about the outdoors and want to share them with you.  Still have questions?  Here are answers to a list of our most frequently asked questions. If you have other questions or concerns, please contact us.

How does the liability waiver work?

A standard waiver and release of liability is required for all participants.  A parent or guardian must complete a liability release for persons under 19 years of age.

We do our best to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants, but since these activities involve known and unknown risks, we require all guests to sign the release agreement, assumption of risk statement and liability waiver prior to departure. Waivers are available prior to making your reservation. We advise clients to arrange proper liability and medical insurance, which may include helicopter evacuation.

Guests under the age of 19 must have a parent or legal guardian sign the waiver on their behalf.

Adventure sport activities involve many risks, dangers and hazards. These risks and hazards are outlined in our release of liability waiver which participants are required to sign before participating in an Adventure Sport Activity. This agreement will affect your legal rights should you be involved in an accident.

Do you require a damage deposit? What is the security deposit for?

Yes

A valid Visa, or MasterCard is required for a security/damage deposit, card will be charged an amount of $2500 per incident.  A credit card with valid photo ID on file as a damage deposit required for all adventures.  Without a valid credit card or if we are unable to process the pre-authorization on your credit card, you will not be able to proceed with your booking.  No refunds on day of booking due to invalid credit card pre-authorization.  Please bring a valid credit card with you.  Please note Visa Debit/Mastercard Debit cards are not accepted in Canada as credit cards.

How old do you have to be to drive the UTV? What's the minimum age to be a passenger?

Proof of ID is required, minimum age is 19 years old, a valid class 5 unrestricted drivers license is required for all drivers

We do not have a minimum age requirement for passengers; however, children must be able to sit safely in a seat-belt, or have a car-seat that extends above the child’s head. Most car-seats can be installed in our UTVs. While we have no minimum age, for a child to ride in our UTV’s they must be able to safely wear a helmet and be safely buckled into the seat. Please contact us to verify that your child/children can safely ride with us.

Will I be riding with anyone else in my side by side?

We require a minimum of two people per side by side but they will hold up to four people.  As long as you have two people, you will have the side by side to yourself for the ride.

Can I drive the side by side and can we take turns driving?

Yes

You drive the side by side and follow our guide.  You are more than welcome to take turns driving with anyone that is at least 19 years old and shows a valid driver’s license at check in.

Will there be any stops for breaks during the ride?

Yes

Our guides stop 2-3 times for 5-10 minutes each for everyone to stretch their legs, grab a bite to eat and snap a few pictures.  This is also a great time to switch up drivers if you choose to do so.

Are we required to wear helmets in the UTV? What should I wear?

Yes

Everyone is required to wear a helmet.

Closed toe shoes are recommended, and clothing appropriate for the current weather conditions.

We recommend wearing dark colored clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty or wet.  It’s also a great idea to wear light weight clothing that can dry easily as most people do get wet.  Some will bring a change of clothes to change into after the ride and/or towel to sit on in their vehicle for the ride home.  It can be very dusty so be prepared to get dirty.

An additional layer is recommended on cooler days to stay warm.

For best fit and comfort, we encourage you to bring your own riding gear (including helmet, gloves, goggles, boots, or shoes). Come prepared for the weather.

 

Will we get dirty, dusty or wet?

Yes

Depending on how recent it has rained will determine how dusty or wet it will be. Please check the weather forecast before you come, if it is supposed to rain, or has recently rained you may want to bring a rain coat and rain pants as it can definitely get wet.
