Adventure Tour Reservation Manager
One simple, commission-free reservation manager for exotic adventure operators — rafting, scuba diving, paragliding, ATV/quad, kitesurf, canyoning, safaris and more — who run the whole business themselves and take bookings directly over WhatsApp and Instagram.
Built for the operator, not a marketplace
Platforms like Rezdy and FareHarbor are built for listing your tours on their marketplace. Retveno is different: it's your private reservation manager. You keep taking bookings the way you already do — over chat — and every booking message your guests send on WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger turns into a ready-to-confirm pending booking on its own. No listing fees, no commission, no marketplace middleman.
How adventure operators use it
A rafting operator in Slovenia connects their WhatsApp number once. From that point, every customer message that mentions a booking — dates, group size, which trip — is read automatically and lands in their dashboard as a pending booking. They review it, tap confirm, and send a Stripe deposit link. The customer pays, the booking is confirmed, and a WhatsApp reminder goes out 24 hours before the trip. The operator never opened a spreadsheet.
The same flow works for a paragliding tandem school in Montenegro, a scuba dive centre in Greece, an ATV quad tour in Bulgaria, or a canyoning guide in Croatia. If your guests message you to book, Retveno turns that conversation into a managed reservation.
Paste a screenshot — no connection needed
Not ready to connect your channels? Or taking a booking somewhere we don't integrate yet? Paste a screenshot of the chat and Retveno reads the customer name, dates, group size, and contact details into a draft booking. You review every field and confirm — nothing is saved until you say so. It's the manual fallback that works for any channel, any time.
Commission-free on every booking
Rezdy charges around 6% per booking. FareHarbor takes a cut too. On 40 bookings a month at an average of €60 each, that's over €1,700 a year handed to a marketplace — for bookings you sourced yourself. Retveno is one flat monthly subscription. Every euro your guests pay stays yours.
Deposits, reminders and departures
Generate a Stripe checkout link in one click to collect a deposit or full payment and lock in the spot. Set fixed departure dates with seat capacity so bookings fill them automatically — no more double-booking a full trip. Automatic WhatsApp and SMS reminders go out before each departure to cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.
Live in an afternoon
Add your tours, set capacity, connect your channels, and you're taking managed reservations the same day — no developers, no integrations, no technical skills required. Start on the free plan with no credit card and upgrade when you're ready.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to change how I take bookings?
