How far in advance should I book? We recommend booking at least 60 days in advance to secure preferred dates and receive our early bird discount (15% off). However, last-minute bookings are possible subject to availability – contact us for options.
What if I need to change my tour dates? Date changes can be accommodated up to 30 days before departure, subject to availability, at no additional cost. Within 30 days, changes may incur a rescheduling fee.
