Start Point

Ardventures is the trading name of Steloona Ltd, a company registered with Companies House (Company No. 07383412). This allows customers to independently verify our business details and provides transparency about who they are booking with.

Professionalism, safety and accountability are at the heart of everything we do.

  • Know who you’re booking with. Whether a tour operator is a limited company or a sole trader, you should be able to verify who they are, how to contact them and understand their booking terms before committing to a tour.
  • Safety comes first. Guided 4×4 travel carries genuine operational risks. We believe customers should choose operators who can clearly demonstrate appropriate experience, qualifications, training, insurance and robust operating procedures. Ardventures’ lead instructors are RoSPA qualified.
  • Transparency builds confidence. We believe customers should expect clear business information, comprehensive contact details, transparent pricing and straightforward booking terms. These are all part of helping you make an informed decision.
  • Do your research. Every tour operator is different, regardless of whether they operate as a limited company or a sole trader. Before booking, we encourage customers to consider an operator’s experience, reputation, qualifications, insurance arrangements, safety standards and customer reviews.
