Accommodation

4 nights hostel multi-share ('Pre-Pay Bundle' or 'Pay as you go')

 

Private Rooms 'Pre-Pay Private Room Bundles' are limited and subject to availability. The majority of private rooms are of the same standard as the hostel dorms, may have shared facilities and are accommodated within the same building as the rest of the group. Where this is not possible, you may be required to make your own way to your accommodation located a short walk away from the main drop off point.

Before And After Tour We don't reserve accommodation before your tour starts or after your tour finishes. We recommend checking out our section under 'Essential Info'.

Cancellation policy
  • Cancellation of your booking must be in writing to either the Operator (direct or website bookings) or the authorised agent through which the booking was made. If your booking was made through an authorised agent all amendments and cancellations must be made through them (they may also levy cancellation charges in addition to those noted below - please check at time of reservation). When written notification has been received by the Operator, a fee will be levied to cover the costs incurred (25% of booking price being the minimum fee). The amount of the cancellation fee will be dependent on the number of days prior to the departure date of the trip  (not including the day of departure or the day of notification).
  • Where a deposit has been made on a booking and the booking is cancelled by you or your booking agent prior to full payment being made, or in the circumstances of the balance not being received by the Operator or their authorised agent by the due date, no refund of the deposit will be applicable, nor can it be credited or transferred to any other booking for a trip of a lower value. It may be possible to transfer the deposit to a booking for a trip of a higher value.
  • Cancellation of individual passengers from a multiple booking where a group discount applies (e.g. ‘Mates’ Rates’ discount) may mean that the discount applied on booking will be forfeited, due to the qualifying criteria no longer being met. If the cancellation results in the qualifying criteria no longer being met, then the prices for the remaining passengers on the booking will be adjusted, and any forfeited discount will be reclaimed through deduction in calculating any refund due to the cancelling passengers. The following cancellation policies apply
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
