FAQs

Our trips are designed for guests 25-45. That age range is intended to facilitate connections but is also targeted for an activity level that is typical for people in that age. (i.e. need some breaks but more energy than retirees!)

If you are outside that age range (21 year old or 46 year old maybe) and you would like to join, just send a quick message to make sure you would be a good fit on our trip. Odds are, you are!

Yes.

Most trips can be paid two ways: all at once or into three parts. 

You’ll need to pay the initial deposit and then you can opt for two additional payments.

We require 50% of the remaining cost to be paid 60 days before departure and 100% to be paid 30 days before departure. 

Our booking software will prompt you to pay before each of those deadlines. At the time we don’t offer monthly installments, but you can pay each of those payments before the due date to spread out the cost more.
