For the majority of our trips the minimum age is 15. An adult must accompany all children under the age of 18. Younger children can join us on our Family trips and Short Break Adventures, but check each trip for its minimum age, which is located on the trip’s overview page on the website. Most of our trips don’t have a maximum age limit.

You sure can. Just ask your travel specialist at the time of booking

You can book pre and post accommodation on a single basis; however, throughout your trip, rooming is organised on a twin-share basis. Some trips do have a single supplement available – check a trip’s overview page on our website, or their Essential Trip Information, to see whether a single supplement is offered. If so, please request this at the time of booking

Please make sure you are happy with your group trip itinerary before booking because we are unable to change them for individual travellers. However, if you and a group of friends, colleagues or even your school would like your own personally designed itinerary, get in contact with our very talented Private Groups; they can tailor an itinerary just for you.
Depending on the trip style you choose, our trips are organised on a twin, triple or multi-share basis. As our bookings are made well in advance, individual room requests can’t be guaranteed.
Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips for those travelling internationally. We require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. For more information about insurance requirements, check the Trip Information for your specific trip.
While we do include information in our Trip Information about visa requirements and provide additional information about entry, we always recommend that passengers check with local embassy as visa rules can change without warning. Embassy websites will always have information about requirements and will provide the required forms. If you are uncomfortable with the visa process, you can visit us and we can arrange these for you at a cost.
Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travellers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website

As a solo traveller, you will be paired up with another passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you’re not comfortable sharing a room with someone of the same gender, you also have the choice to pay for a single supplement (available on the majority of our trips).
If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly.

While we can’t tell you who your leader is prior to departure, we can tell you they will be awesome. Our leaders are experts in their regions, some because they’ve been travelling there for years, others because they’re local to the region and can’t wait to show you around. On longer journeys, or ones that travel through more than one country, you may change leaders part way through – but this just means double the awesomeness.

We offers a wide range of Family Adventures around the globe. The minimum age (for Family trips) varies depending on destination, and we have set minimum ages to ensure that the included activities suit each age range. Additionally, you’ll notice that some of the more adventurous destinations have a higher minimum age. Please view our family adventures for more information.

Whether you’re travelling solo, with a group of friends, or are aged 18 or 70, there is an adventure we can offer to suit your interests and comfort level. Each tour has a physical and cultural grading to help you decide if the trip is right for you.
