Create an activity experience

Creating an activity experience on ¡HolaOlas! allows you to offer your services online with a professional booking system.

This guide walks you through step by step to configure all necessary elements according to the activity type: classes, dining, wellness or entertainment.

Start by filling in the essential information of your activity:

• Activity name: The name that will appear on your booking page
• Description: Present your activity, its content and benefits. You can use AI help to generate a professional description.
• Experience type: Select "Activity"
• Activity type: Choose from Classes & workshops, Dining, Wellness, Entertainment or Other
• Booking mode: Choose between private (a single booking blocks the time slot) or shared (multiple bookings can accumulate)
• Multi-day activity: Check this box if your activity spans multiple days (e.g., retreat, workshop). Customers will select a predefined period instead of a single date.

💡 Tip: The description is translatable in 3 languages (French, English, Spanish). Check our guide on the [translation system](systeme-traduction) to learn more.

Each activity type has its specificities:

Classes & workshops:

• Required level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
