trip costJoining Sydney: $8995

options & supplementsSingle travellers are required to pay a single

supplement when joining this adventure. The cost of the single supplement is listed above.

Flights with SAA are based on a special ‘V’ Class fare. If we are unable to confirm and ticket fares in this class by ticketing deadline, a higher class may

be booked and a surcharge may be applied.

The tour price is based on two people sharing a room. If you are travelling as a single, then we will do our best to twin share

you with someone of the same gender unless you specify on your booking form that you would like to occupy a single room.

In case of the latter, or if we are unsuccessful in matching you up with another traveller, the single price will apply.

Local cash payments are becoming increasingly popular with many operators in the adventure travel industry. The policy seems to benefit the tour operators, more than the local economies or travellers, as it avoids local taxes and transfers the cost and risk of cash handling to travellers. In accordance with our Responsible Travel practices we have chosen a policy not to ask for such payments.
