Yes. Fernwayer supports both cases:
Multiple times a day — e.g. a 9 AM tour and a 2 PM tour.
Multiple sessions at the same time — e.g. two guides each running a private group at 10 AM.
Both are handled through the same core concept: how you set up your Schedules.
The core concept: one Schedule per start time
A Schedule in Fernwayer is defined by its start time. Each Schedule holds one start time, and one set of properties, applied across a range of dates. That means:
Different start times → separate Schedules. A 9 AM slot and a 2 PM slot are two Schedules.
Same start time, multiple simultaneous groups → it depends on whether your Experience is Private or Shared (covered below).
Keeping this concept in mind makes the two cases straightforward.
Case 1: Multiple Times a Day
If your Experience runs multiple times a day — say a morning and an afternoon departure — set up each time slot as its own Schedule. Travelers will see both times available and can book either.
For example, a tour that runs at 9 AM and 2 PM every day will have two Schedules: one for the 9 AM slot, one for the 2 PM slot.
This gives you real flexibility. You can edit or remove one time slot without affecting the other — drop the afternoon tour in winter, keep the morning; change capacity on the 2 PM slot only.
Important: if you host both slots yourself
If you're the sole host and can't run overlapping Experiences at the same time — for example, a 9 AM tour that runs into the 2 PM slot, or a morning and afternoon slot for the same Experience — use Preventing Double Bookings: How to Link Experience Calendars to link the two Schedules together. When one time slot gets booked, the other will automatically be removed from availability for that day.
Case 2: Multiple Sessions at the Same Time
If you have the capacity to run more than one group of your Experience at the same time slot (e.g. two guides, two vehicles, two sittings at the same restaurant), Fernwayer can display that as multiple simultaneous availabilities. How you set it up depends on whether your Experience is Private or Shared.
For Private Experiences
If two hosts can each run a private group at the same time — say, both at 10 AM on the same day — increase the Number of Bookings in Step 6 of Adding Availability: Creating a Schedule.
Number of Bookings is the number of simultaneous private groups you can run in the same time slot. Set it to 2 for two parallel groups, 3 for three, and so on.
We recommend speaking with Fernwayer Support before increasing the Number of Bookings, so we can make sure your setup reflects what you can actually deliver.
A note on Linking: if you also offer other Experiences that any of your hosts could run at the same time, you can still use Preventing Double Bookings: How to Link Experience Calendars. When you do, set the Number of Bookings on each linked Schedule to reflect how many hosts are actually available. For example, with two hosts and three linked Experiences, each Schedule has Number of Bookings set to 2 — the system will then close availability across the three linked Schedules once both hosts are committed for that time slot.
For Shared Experiences
The Number of Bookings feature doesn't apply to Shared Experiences. Instead, create a separate Schedule for each simultaneous group.
For example: if you can run two shared tours at 10 AM on the same day, set up two Schedules, both starting at 10 AM. Each holds its own capacity (up to 8 per group) and its own bookings.
Why the difference? For Private Experiences, each group is booked as a whole — so it makes sense to track "how many private groups can we run at once" as a single number. For Shared Experiences, each group is filled traveler by traveler, so each group needs to be a distinct Schedule with its own participant count.
How to set it up
Follow the steps in Adding Availability: Creating a Schedule — once per Schedule you're creating. For Case 2 with Private Experiences, apply the Number of Bookings guidance above at Step 6.
