What does this feature help with?
If you're unable to take bookings on a certain day — or during certain hours — you can block that time so guests won't see it as available for standard online booking. This helps prevent overbooking and keeps your calendar accurate.
How to Block a Date, Date Range, or Specific Hours
Go to Trip Calendar
Click Online Availability Settings
Select Manage Online Booking
Under Exceptions, click Add Exception
Choose how you want to block:
All day — Check All day block and select a single date or date range.
Specific hours — Uncheck All day block, then set a Start time and End time. This is useful when you need to block a portion of the day, such as a morning or afternoon window.
Click Save
On mobile, the same Exceptions controls are available — tap the calendar settings icon on the Trip Calendar, then open Exceptions to block dates from your phone.
To remove a block, click the X next to the block you want to delete, then click Save.
TIP: You can also use Exceptions to set specific dates to request-to-book only. Guests can still submit a booking request for those days, but the outfitter must confirm before the booking is finalized.
