What are rhino ratings?
To give you an indication of how physically demanding our experiences are, we created the rhino rating system. Towards the top of each experience page, you’ll see a crash of rhino (our favourite collective noun from the animal kingdom) which scores the experience on a scale of one to five.
The basic rule: the more rhino you see, the more challenging the experience will be.
What do the different levels mean?
1 rhino: This project is suitable for all levels of fitness and physical ability. The work is not physically demanding.
2 rhino: This project is suitable for all levels of fitness and physical ability. The work is not overly physically demanding, but you can expect to be on your feet for several hours a day.
3 rhino: This project is suitable for anyone with average levels of fitness and physical ability. You should be able to walk for up to two hours, lift weights of up to 10kg and be physically active throughout the day.
4 rhino: This project is suitable for participants with average health and fitness. You should be able to walk for several hours in uneven terrain, be physically active throughout the day and lift weights of 10kg.
5 rhino: This project is only suitable for participants with good health and a level of fitness. The activities can be physically demanding and you’ll often be on the go from dawn to dusk.
