Get more bookings with guide sharing

Guides often get messages from individuals or small groups looking to join trips, but managing this manually takes time. With guide sharing on Oak, users can create a shared request, set a minimum group size, and secure their spot. Once the group is filled with people interested in the same activity, you receive a booking request if it matches your sport and operating area.
