What size vehicles are available for charter?
Charter vehicles range from comfortable vans to larger buses, depending on group size and luggage needs.
Van (HiAce): With a capacity of 8 passengers with luggage (or 12 passengers without luggage), this vehicle is well-suited to couples, families, or small groups. Seating is very comfortable, and the smaller size of the van makes it ideal for accessing smaller roads and harder to reach areas.

Micro-bus: Our micro-buses have a capacity of 14 passengers (can be increased to 18 passengers with use of fold-down seats) with a dedicated luggage space in the rear. This bus has the advantage of space for a large amount of luggage and is therefore ideal for groups traveling with suitcases or outdoor gear including ski and snowboarding equipment. This vehicle is equipped with air-conditioning and luggage storage.
Mini-bus: This vehicle has a capacity of 21 passengers (can be increased to 28 passengers with use of fold-down seats) and is ideal for larger groups, sightseeing and business tours. This vehicle is perfect for any group needing the convenience of their own transport, with the flexibility and accessibility that a smaller bus provides.
