Please find below updated information on the current situation and how this may impact your reservation or your activity. This page will be updated regularly to provide you with the latest information.
Are activities open for bookings?
Government restrictions on activities have been lifted in most countries where Manawa operates, with some local exceptions. In the majority of cases, we are therefore open for reservations. If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact us!
In some regions of specific areas, Covid-19 outbreaks have prompted authorities to reinstate certain restrictions, which may impact the organizing of outdoor activities.
Such regions at the moment include (non-exhaustive list) :
Sweden:
Foreign nationals need to present a negative Covid-19 test result in order to travel into Sweden. There can be no more than 48 hours between the time of the Covid test and crossing the border.
New Zealand:
Entry to New Zealand from all countries remains strictly controlled to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Quarantine-free travel allows more movement between New Zealand and safe zones in Australia. Travellers coming from safe zones will not be required to enter managed isolation or quarantine on arrival in New Zealand.
Norway:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (UD) advises against all international travel that is not strictly necessary. This global travel advice from UD is valid until May 15th, 2021. At present, the opportunity for foreigners to enter Norway is very limited.
Germany:
If you are entering the Federal Republic of Germany by land, sea, or air and have spent time in a risk area within the 10 days prior to entry, you are required – bar the exceptions listed below –to proceed directly to your own home, or other suitable accommodation, immediately after arrival and remain there exclusively for a period of 10 days after entry into the country (quarantine) .A risk area is any country or region outside of the Federal Republic of Germany for which, at the time of entry into the Federal Republic of Germany, an increased risk of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus exists. The Robert Koch Institute maintains a continuously updated list of risk areas at the following link: https://www.rki.de/covid-19-
South Africa
Alert level 1: hours of the curfew will now be from 12am to 4am.
All international travelers arriving at the above airports must provide a valid certificate of a negative COVID-19 test, recognized by the World Health Organisation, which was obtained not more than 72 hours before the date of travel.
Switzerland:
People who have spent time in a country or area with an increased risk of infection and then enter Switzerland must go into quarantine. The countries and areas affected are set down in a list. A negative test does not exempt you from the mandatory quarantine requirement.The mandatory quarantine requirement is governed by the list valid at the moment of entry into Switzerland.
United Kingdom:
Travel corridors are currently suspended.
Anyone arriving in England must quarantine for 10 days and take 2 coronavirus test while in quarantine.
If you have been in a country on the travel ban red list in the 10 days before you arrive, you will need to quarantine in a government-approved hotel.
Iceland:
Passengers coming to Iceland can choose between either undergoing two tests for COVID-19 with a 5-day quarantine interval between tests until the results of the second test have been discovered or avoiding testing by undergoing a 14-day quarantine from their date of arrival to Iceland.
Finland:
Finland has in place restrictions on entry from almost all countries. The current restrictions are indispensable in order to slow down the spread of the pandemic. The restrictions on entry into Finland will run to 25 May 2021.
Croatia:
Passengers coming directly from the countries of the European Union who are currently in the so-called green list of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, regardless of their citizenship, will be allowed entry into the Republic of Croatia under the same conditions as before the onset of the COVID-19 disease if they show no signs of disease and they have not been in close contact with an infected person. If you are not on the green list then a negative PCR test, vaccination certificate, positive PCR test, or a PCR test upon arrival + quarantine will be required.
Slovakia:
When you arrive in Slovakia after you visited countries other than the EU countries, Island, Norway, Lichtenstein, Northern Ireland or Switzerland within the 14 days before you arrive, you must self-isolate at home or in a quarantine accommodation facility.
Slovenia:
All countries that are not explicitly listed on the red list are considered to be without a high risk of infection and persons coming from these countries or administrative units of countries may enter the Republic of Slovenia without being put under home quarantine and without submitting a negative test for the presence of SARS-CoV-2.
Bulgaria:
All travellers are subject to the requirement for a pre-departure negative PCR test. The test must be taken within 72 hours before departure. Bulgarian citizens and permanent or long-term residents in Bulgaria, as well as their family members, who do not present the negative result of a PCR test, must complete a 10-day mandatory quarantine.
Ireland:
All travellers are subject to the requirement for a pre-departure negative PCR test. The test must be taken within 72 hours before departure. Bulgarian citizens and permanent or long-term residents in Bulgaria, as well as their family members, who do not present the negative result of a PCR test, must complete a 10-day mandatory quarantine.
Greece:
Every traveler coming to Greece from abroad should have a negative PCR test from a diagnostic laboratory. The test has to be conducted no later than 72 hours before arrival. This test is mandatory for all tourists (including children over the age of 5), regardless of the epidemiological situation prevalent in the country of departure.
If the traveler has completed his/her vaccination (i.e. 14 days have elapsed since the last vaccination, depending on the doses required) and is in a position to confirm it by presenting the relevant vaccination certificate, then proof of a negative test is not required.
Spain:
The contagion curve in Spain is starting to slow down compared to the previous week. However, there are seven communities at high risk, with more than 250 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. These include Madrid, the Basque Country and Navarre.
In Spain, each autonomous community establishes its own measures and restrictions per municipality, ranging from phase reversals or different alert levels that include, among others, restrictions on capacity and opening hours/limitations for shops and restaurants. As a result, some activities have less flexible opening hours or are sometimes not operational due to restrictions.
Italia
The Italian ministry has proclaimed new measures that will be in force until 30 April. On the one hand, movement between regions is prohibited, as well as visits to family and friends in the red zones. In addition, bars, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, gyms and swimming pools will remain closed. On the other hand, for all travellers coming from Spain or any other EU country: a negative molecular or antigenic test, a 5-day quarantine period, informing the relevant "Azienda Sanitaria Locale" of their arrival and having a second antigenic or molecular test with negative result after the 5-day quarantine period.
Portugal
The Portuguese Parliament will maintain the pandemic state of emergency until 30 April. Before travelling, you should obtain and confirm the information on the procedures and restrictions of the destination region, the airline and/or the Aliens and Border Services.

Health and Safety measures
To protect your health and safety, as well as that of others, our partnering instructors are reorganizing their activities to comply with new local regulations.
This may involve wearing masks during some activities, limiting group sizes, and/or stringent cleaning and sanitizing procedures when preparing equipment.
To help instructors to provide the best health and safety practice, please be observant of the rules that they communicate to you when you take part in the activity.
It is also strongly encouraged that you attend your activity prepared with your own mask, if only for the pre and post-activity phases of your experience.
