To keep everything clear and transparent, this is how our activity system works.
On Ometepe Island, many different places organize activities.
We have noticed, however, that information about whether an activity is paid or free is often confusing or misleading.
For this reason, we want to be completely clear and transparent with our guests.
1. Contribution-based activities
These activities do not have a fixed price. However, a contribution is expected from all participants, as this is how facilitators support themselves and continue offering their work. You are invited to contribute according to your possibilities and the value you receive. This system allows accessibility for everyone, while still supporting the people who make the activities happen.
2. Contribution-based activities with a minimum
Some activities require a minimum contribution. This means:
There is a base amount that everyone pays
* Participants are welcome to contribute more if they wish
The minimum ensures that facilitators can cover their time, energy, and basic costs, while still allowing flexibility and generosity.
3. Paid activities
Some activities have a fixed price.
In these cases:
* The price is clearly defined in advance
* The same price applies to everyone
This is used for activities that require more structure, preparation, or materials.
