    • How can older travelers find suitable adventure tours?

      Older travelers looking for adventure tours suitable for their age can explore our Classic Travel Styles, which are without age restrictions and offer diverse travel experiences akin to our age-specific tours.

    • What is the policy for room sharing and single supplements?

      Our tours are based on Twin Share, where you will be paired with another traveler of the same gender. If you prefer, you can opt for a Single Supplement at an extra charge to secure a private room.

      We advise booking as early as possible to ensure availability, especially since our tours can fill up quickly due to their popularity and limited spots.

    • How do you handle inquiries from travelers outside the specified age range?

      While our specific age-focused tours such as the 18-to-Thirty Somethings have strict age limits, we encourage those not qualifying to explore other tours we offer that cater to a broader age range without restrictions.

    • Can you accommodate travelers of different ages outside the 18-39 range?

      While we strive to cater to a broad audience, our 18-to-Thirty Somethings tours are specifically tailored to travelers within the 18-39 age range. For those outside this bracket, we offer Classic Travel Styles with no upper age limit.
