4 Things to Know About Outdoor Tours in the Rain

Most outdoor tours run in the rain Unless there’s lightning, a hurricane, or the operator explicitly says “rain cancels,” walking, bike, and segway tours operate in wet weather. Guides carry umbrellas, and you just need a jacket.

Boat tours and adventure activities are more cautious Rain combined with wind often cancels boat tours, zip lines, and hot air balloon rides. Standard city tours are built for all weather and rarely cancel.

Check the operator’s policy before booking Most tours have a “runs rain or shine” policy. If you’re not comfortable in drizzle, book an indoor activity instead.

Assume the tour is happening unless told otherwise Unless the operator explicitly says rain cancels, plan to show up. Rain rarely stops a scheduled tour.
