The compulsory entrance fee of approximately USD$30pp (AR 30,000pp) to be paid in cash to the Trip Manager. Fees are per traveller and subject to change.
- Passports with a minimum of 6 months validity after return date are required and are at your expense.
- Day 1 is the start date and first hotel night included with the journey. Please arrange flights to arrive on or before Day 1.
- To give ample time for check-in and security, we recommend arriving at the airport 3 hours prior to your flight departure. - Why only 18-35?
- Focusing on 18-35 year olds allows us to tailor a dramatically more powerful travel experience and an itinerary so fun it feels like all of your best Friday nights combined.
- Tailoring to select ages brings together like minded, likeable people, and allows us to use Social Travel planning to build great groups of people so fast you'll wonder if you've been friends forever. - Do I need to purchase travel insurance for this trip?
- Yes! It's a requirement of traveling with the local operator that you take out comprehensive insurance cover for cancellation, personal injury, death, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, evacuation expenses, personal liability & loss of personal property and Covid related expenses before you travel with us. It's also super important to check that your insurance covers all of the activities you'll be trying out, particularly any adventure activities (for all you adrenaline junkies). - What are the luggage restrictions?
- This one depends on the destination and trip you're traveling on. Read your travel documentation carefully to understand luggage allowances for your specific trip.
- Our typical luggage allowances:
* For our European, North American, Australian and New Zealand trips, luggage is restricted to one decent sized, suitcase, approximately 29” × 20” × 10” (73cm x 50cm x 25cm) with a maximum weight of 20 kilos (44lbs.) plus one small hand/day bag that can go on the transport with you. Metal frame backpacks are not advised as their bulky shape makes packing vehicles tricky, plus they are more likely to damage other luggage.
* For Latin America, Asia & other regions which have internal flights included in the itinerary, luggage weight restrictions must be within the restriction of the given airlines you're traveling on. It's up to you to ensure you keep within these measurements and weight restrictions, so please check this out before you travel as excess baggage fees will be at your own cost.
- Some trips have specific luggage requirements, such as sailing, trekking and some camping trips - you will have this information sent to you in your pre-trip documents should this apply.
- For our train trips please note you must be able to carry your own bags on this trip. As we will be taking public transport in cities & getting to the heart of the destinations we visit, pack wisely.
- On European ski trips and New Zealand trips with a ski option you have the option to bring one pair of skis and ski boots or snowboard. - Are flights included in the cost of the trip?
- International flights to/from the destination your trip starts and ends in are not included in the cost of the trip, and must be purchased separately.
- Any flights you take during the trip are included in the cost of your trip. Particularly in regions like Asia, Australia or South America, we use planes to get you from A-to-B as quickly as possible, and all of this is included. - What type of accommodations do you stay in?
- We have a whole mix of accommodations styles on our trips, depending on the destination and the travel style you have chosen. With us, you can stay in hotels, hostels, boats, camping sites, jungle lodges, eco camps, beach resorts, and even our very own 16th century French Chateau.
