Nope! A lot of our travelers are traveling alone. You will be paired up with someone of the same gender & age for the hotels, or have the option of paying a single supplement.
Can I pay for my trip in payments?
Yes. When you first book you only have to pay a 10% deposit. We accept payments of any amount, at any time, as long as your final payment is made 30 days before your departure date.
How do I reserve my spot?

When is a trip confirmed to depart?
Once a trip reaches its minimum number of travelers. Our groups are small — up to 13 people. It’s wise to make a deposit early, as trips fill up fast. Once you make a deposit, you’ll always be updated on the status of your trip in real time.
Do we offer private departures?

When do I pay for optional activities?
You pay for them while you’re on the trip. The main exception is the Grand Canyon helicopter. This must be booked well in advance, so let us know as soon as possible — it’s extremely popular.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes. Medical insurance is required on all of our trips. This will be checked on the first day of the tour by your guide. If you do not have insurance already, check out our Insurance Page. Cancellation insurance is recommended but not mandatory.
