Frequently Asked Questions
Should the day’s itinerary involve being away from restaurants, Far Flung can provide a field lunch at an additional charge. This lunch is no “brown bag” special, but rather one of our famous field lunches complete with lunch meats, cheeses, breads, chips, dips, fresh fruit, condiments, desert and iced tea or lemonade. Please contact us at least 48 hours in advance if you have special dietary needs. We will make every effort to accommodate your needs, however, please understand that our nearest full service grocery store is 150 miles to the north.

Many guests ask us whether tipping the guides is appropriate. If you believe the guide exceeded your service expectations, please feel free to leave a tip. They will certainly appreciate it 😊
