Transportation is changing since the advent of Uber and Lyft, etc. Many companies are substituting sprinters to accommodate up to 12 with luggage and 14 without. Then we jump directly to minibuses. The newer the better. A must-have is up-to-date liability insurance (such as that offered by the NFTGA insurance plan) in your hands if you are booking it! Many companies, once out of licensing regulation, call their insurance company and halve the amount. Must have $1 million minimum.
If you have an activity occurring during bad weather, be thoughtful about your decision to proceed if it involves walking, hiking, skiing, boating, or swimming. Protect yourself as well as the guests. In Florida, in high winds, it is recommended not to swim or go boating. We have also been warned of shark sightings and attacks just like in the movies. You must advise your guests to observe and follow the warnings on the various beaches. It seems these devils are in search of warm water from October through early December as are we. Fish, birds, and mammals are a perfect way to judge the forthcoming weather. Birds flying south in late August indicates an early winter. Whales have their own schedule of migration.
Speak about these fabulous stories to your guests. I remember discussing our weather patterns to a group at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach. The bus was late in arriving and this gave me a chance to charm them before we started the city tour.
