Never overbook or undersell a trip
Tell eola how many people each raft takes and count your guides towards every trip, so each trip sells every place you can run, and not one more. Helmets, wetsuits and paddles are counted too.
- Seats set for each raft
- Guides counted towards every trip
- Helmets, wetsuits and paddles tracked in real time

Your questions answered
Transparency is at the heart of eola. If you don’t see your question here, get in touch with our team.
Can one person book for a whole group?
Yes. The organiser books and pays, then invites everyone else by email or text to add their details and sign their own waiver.
Can I take a deposit to hold a group’s date?
Yes. Turn on deposits for the trips you choose, and eola sends reminders to pay the balance before the day.
Can I limit each trip to the rafts and guides I have?
Yes. Set how many people each raft takes and add your guides as resources. eola stops selling places as soon as either runs out.
Can I see who hasn’t signed before we get on the water?
Yes. The check-in scanner stops before checking in anyone who hasn’t signed their waiver, answered their questionnaire or paid their balance, and lists what’s missing.
What happens if a trip can’t run?
Move the booking to another day, refund it, or issue a credit voucher, all from the booking in your dashboard.
Can I set a minimum age for rafting?
Yes. Set a minimum age for each trip, or make it adults only.
