Our Process
How does the booking process work?
Simply fill out our contact form expressing interest in one of our journeys. If planning a custom journey, a Travel Advisor will reach out to provide additional information and to schedule a call and to begin to create a custom proposal. Once you are ready to confirm, a deposit is collected. For group journeys, a deposit from you reserves your space on a Hosted Journey. We then provide you with documents and checklists to help you prepare for your journey.
