Explore-Share is an online marketplace for guided outdoor adventures, listing more than 12,000 programs from over 1,500 certified mountain guides in 80-plus countries. For operators, it brings committed adventure travelers booking climbing, mountaineering, ski touring, hiking and via ferrata trips, often multi-day and higher-value than general sightseeing.

Requesting an Explore-Share Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Explore-Share can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Explore-Share could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Explore-Share would be created in Ventrata instantly, with Ventrata tickets issued to the customer.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you work with Explore-Share, send one email to your Explore-Share contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Explore-Share.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Explore-Share, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Explore-Share builds and certifies the connection. Explore-Share builds against the OCTO API and passes OCTO certification, then Ventrata certifies it with test bookings. Most resellers finish development in 2 to 10 business days.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, Explore-Share appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Explore-Share works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Explore-Share after your introduction.
📗 TIP

Working with Explore-Share in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Explore-Share in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Explore-Share book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Explore-Share bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Explore-Share sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
