Experience Quest - Gap Year Travel

You can find specific information on each of our Adventure factsheets. Below are a few pieces of general information about how we run our trips.

Food & drink Included in the cost of each trip are meals in some fantastic restaurants, sampling some of the best food South America has to offer. While we will cover drinks during meals, we may ask you to chip in if it turns out to be a particularly thirsty night... Also, there will be a couple of occasions while in towns, when the group will be free to explore and as such we will leave lunches to your own discretion. This will be only 2 or 3 occasions though.

Accommodation We have carefully picked some real characterful hotels whenever we are in towns and cities, with all the comforts you would normally expect, but not in the cold characterless style of a high rise hotel block. Whilst in the wilderness, we will be staying in some lovely lodges and tented camps. If the itinerary includes a trek, we will make sure you are as comfortable as possible while camping.

Weather We have endeavoured to plan our departures to coincide with favourable weather conditions (as much as is possible). As we will be travelling from jungles to mountains to islands though, you will need to be prepared for a whole range of temperatures.

Leaders You will be accompanied by only our best and most experienced staff. We have always said that our leaders bring the trip to life for you –you will not be disappointed here!  Their knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm are unparalleled.

Preparation Once you have booked onto the trip, we will be with you every step of the way in the build up for departure, helping to sort flights, insurance, providing recommendations on kit, anything you should need.

Travelling alone? Not a problem. Our price is based on two people sharing, and if you are joining this trip on your own, you will be sharing a room or a tent with someone of the same sex. If you would prefer to have your own room and tent, you can pay our single supplement of £200. Please note, this applies for all adventures, but does not include having an individual cabin at the Galapagos, please contact us if you would like to ask about supplements for this.

What to do next? If you’d like to find out more, just give us a call and we can fill you in with some more information. To book a place on this trip, get in touch and we will send you a booking form together with a copy of our terms and conditions. Any questions, just give us a call on 01273 777206.
