Most of our trips are customized and booked by groups of friends with similar interest. However, due to frequent requests we have designed a few trips that may be joined by individuals or small groups. Some of these trips are set departues (ie. We set a date and find people to join the trip) Others are small private groups that are happy to have others join their customized journey.
