How it works · Traveler

The balance is paid on site, to the operator

Your booking is split in two: the deposit, which secures your spot, and the balance, which you usually pay directly to the local operator on the day of the activity. If an experience works differently, its page says so clearly.

Why it works this way

  • Exploria is a marketplace: we connect travelers with verified local operators. We provide the technology, the booking and the support; the operator runs the activity.
  • The balance goes straight to the people who look after you that day: that way the money for the experience reaches the locals who make it possible.
  • You know the exact balance before you confirm: it’s in your booking summary and in your voucher.

You can learn more about our model and our verified operators in About us and How it works.
