General
What is adventure travel?
Adventure travel involves exploring remote areas, engaging in challenging physical activities, and immersing oneself in nature or different cultures. It typically includes activities like trekking, mountaineering, wildlife safaris, cultural exchanges, and outdoor sports in spectacular natural settings.
Is adventure travel safe?
Safety is our top priority. We partner with experienced local guides and adhere to strict safety protocols. All our guides are certified in wilderness first aid, we provide detailed safety briefings for all activities, and we maintain comprehensive emergency response procedures. We also require all participants to have travel insurance.
What level of fitness is required?
Fitness requirements vary by trip and are clearly outlined in each tour package description. We offer options for various fitness levels, from moderate walks suitable for most people to challenging treks requiring excellent physical condition. We provide detailed fitness guidelines and training recommendations for each trip.
Booking & Planning
How far advance should I book?
We recommend booking 3-6 months in advance, especially for popular destinations and peak seasons. Some trips, like the Inca Trail, require permits that can sell out months ahead. Early booking also allows time for proper preparation and training.
What should I pack?
A detailed packing list will be provided for each trip, tailored to the destination and activities. Generally, you’ll need appropriate outdoor clothing, sturdy hiking boots, personal items, and any specialized gear. We provide group equipment like tents and cooking gear for camping trips.
Can I customize my trip?
Absolutely! We offer both pre-designed packages and options for custom itineraries to suit your preferences, interests, and schedule. Our team can work with you to create a personalized adventure that matches your goals and abilities. Contact us to discuss your custom adventure ideas.
Travel Requirement
Do I need travel Insurance?
Yes, comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for all our adventure trips. Your insurance must cover medical emergencies, evacuation, trip cancellations, and adventure activities. We can recommend suitable insurance providers that specialize in adventure travel coverage.
What about visas and vaccinations?
Visa and vaccination requirements vary by destination and your nationality. We provide detailed information about entry requirements for each trip, but it’s your responsibility to ensure you have the proper documentation. We recommend consulting with a travel medicine specialist for vaccination advice.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
We can accommodate most dietary restrictions and food allergies with advance notice. Please inform us of any dietary needs when booking. Our guides work with local providers to ensure suitable meal options are available throughout your trip.
During your Trip
What If weather conditions are poor?
Weather is part of the adventure! Our experienced guides monitor conditions closely and will adjust itineraries as needed for safety. We have contingency plans for most weather scenarios. While we can’t control the weather, we ensure you’re properly equipped and prepared for various conditions.
What about altitude sickness?
For high-altitude destinations, we include acclimatization days in our itineraries and provide detailed information about altitude sickness prevention. Our guides are trained to recognize symptoms and respond appropriately. We recommend consulting your doctor before high-altitude trips.
Can I leave the group during the trip?
While our trips are designed as group experiences, we understand individual needs may arise. Depending on the location and circumstances, limited independent time may be possible. However, for safety reasons, we generally require participants to stay with the group, especially in remote areas.
Costs & Payments
What's Included in the trip price?
Inclusions vary by trip but typically cover accommodation, most meals, professional guides, permits and entrance fees, group equipment, and transportation during the trip. Exclusions usually include international flights, personal gear, some meals, tips, and personal expenses. Check each trip’s detailed inclusions list.
What's your cancellation policy?
Cancellation policies vary by trip and timing. Generally, we offer full refunds for cancellations made 90+ days before departure, with graduated penalties for later cancellations. We strongly recommend travel insurance to protect against unforeseen circumstances. Detailed cancellation terms are provided with booking.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer flexible payment options for most trips. Typically, a deposit secures your spot, with the balance due 60-90 days before departure. We can arrange custom payment schedules for longer or more expensive trips. Contact us to discuss payment options that work for you.
