Can I go on a trip solo?
+
Absolutely! Over 40% of our adventurers join us solo. You'll be placed in a shared tent with someone of the same gender if preferred, or in a private tent for a small supplement fee. Solo travelers often form the strongest bonds during our trips. We have specific Solo Traveler Meetups before departure to help you connect with fellow adventurers.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
+
Yes! Our culinary team is experienced in preparing meals for various dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut allergies, and halal. Please notify us at the time of booking and re-confirm 30 days prior to departure. While we do our best, please note that in remote wilderness areas, ingredient availability may vary.
