Dossier Disclaimer ⚠️

The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However, it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. 📋
The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travelers’ comments and our own research. 📅🔄
Sometimes it can be a small change, like adding an extra meal along the itinerary 🍲. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. 🌍
Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. 😊

Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure, you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary. 📘

VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans. 🖨️

Itinerary Disclaimer ⚠️

While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. 🔄
The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable.
The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region, and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered.
Aboard expedition trips, visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances. ⏰

Group Leader Description

All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. 🌍
They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues, and introduce you to our local friends.
While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting—it’s the best of both worlds.

Local Flights ✈️

All local flights are included in the cost of your tour unless otherwise noted. It is important that we have your passport information at the time of booking in order to process these tickets.
Internal flight tickets are issued locally and will be given to you prior to the flight departure.
There may be a weight restriction for the internal flight on this tour. Each passenger is allowed to carry one checked bag with a maximum weight of 20 kg (44lbs). Additional bags or excess weight charges may apply. These charges are the responsibility of the passengers.

Health 💊

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. 🩺
We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers/antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that sometimes we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons, our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. 🚑

In Asia, pharmacies tend to stock the same western drugs as you get at home, but they are usually produced locally, so please bring the full drug name with you when trying to purchase a prescription drug. 💊

When selecting your trip, please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings for trip-specific information. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if, in the reasonable opinion of our CEO, they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group. 🚶‍♂️

Safety and Security ⚠️

Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government’s advice for their latest travel information before departure. 🌍

We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers’ cheques, cash, and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won’t need it while travelling. 👜

Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage.

When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Your CEO will accompany you on all included activities. 🌟

During your trip, you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax, and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. 🔍

Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during nighttime excursions. 🚖

Protests and Demonstrations

Protests and demonstrations, even those that are well intended, have the potential to turn violent with no warning. Counter protests can also turn violent. Action by security forces to disperse demonstrators and protesters may occur at any time. If you are in an area where demonstrators or protesters are gathering, avoid the temptation of staying for a good photo opportunity and leave the area immediately. 🚨

Water-Based Activities

Water-based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water-based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water-based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards) have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water-based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).

Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. 🏊

Trip Specific Safety ⚠️

We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers’ cheques, cash, and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won’t need it while travelling. 👜 Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. 🛅

A Couple of Rules 🚫

• Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. 🚨

• Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers.

• Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular, the local people who make the world the special place it is. 🌍

• The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy.

• Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.

Travel Insurance 🛡️

Travel Insurance is compulsory in order to participate in any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your CEO, who will take note of your insurance details. 📋

When selecting a travel insurance policy, please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment, and loss of luggage and personal effects. 🎒

If you have credit card insurance, we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt or credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage, and the emergency contact telephone number. 📞

Minimum Age 🧳

You must be 18 to travel unaccompanied on a G Adventures tour. For minors travelling with a guardian over 21 years old, the minimum age is 12.

International Flights ✈️

Check-in times and baggage allowances/restrictions vary by airline and can change at any time. For the most up-to-date information for your flight, please contact your airline. We recommend checking in online in advance to avoid potential delays at the airport.
