This trip does not include travel insurance & should be purchased separately.
You can get several quotes from Aardy.com – Rachel’s personal favorite (from experience) is Travel Guard by AIG.
The minimum age is 18. The majority of the girls on the group trips are in their 20s & 30s. The biggest thing is mentality, being willing to be around girls of all ages, and willing to participate in all the activities.
The majority of my community is in their 20s and 30s, there isn’t a “too old” age but 25-35 is typical. That doesn’t mean that being 39 or 43 should stop you from joining us. As long as you’re open minded and meet the physical requirements to enjoy this trip, down to have A LOT of fun, and understand these are very active trips then you’re good!
A good level of fitness is very essential to this trip. We’ll be on the go pretty much everyday. Snorkeling and trekking around different islands & landscapes. You should be able to hop on and off a boat frequently and have no issue pulling yourself back up on the boat with a ladder. Not all boat landings will be on docks, some will be wet landings on the shore. With a good spirit practically everyone should be good with this.
Once the trip is confirmed with 8 spots booked, the 25% deposit is non-refundable. Additional payments over the 25% are refundable until we are 60 days out from the trip.
At the 60 day mark all payments are due and the trip is 100% non-refundable.
If you need to cancel your spot prior to 60 days before the trip starts, there is a $100 cancelation fee and the remainder can be used on a future Adventuring for Life trip.
If you cancel 1-59 days prior to the trip, it is 100% non-refundable.
Travel Insurance is highly recommended, especially for ALL International Trips, to protect you in case you do have to cancel at any point.
No International flights are not included. People come from everywhere for this trip so we are unable to include international flights. Please read the itinerary carefully and book yourself onto flights that arrive and depart on appropriate dates from the right airport!
No! Anyone from anywhere can come on a trip, we’ve had girls from England, Germany, Canada and more! You could be the first girl from your country to come with us, we would love that.
All trips are priced using USD, so you may need to convert this to your local currency.
Absolutely! If you’re coming with a friend, just write their name down on the roommate form we send out closer to the trip start!
If you’re coming solo – thats cool too! The majority of the people that sign up for the trips with adventuring for life are coming solo! We do an extensive Roommate matching survey before each trip to help match people up that have the same vibe. You are welcome to bring a friend or request a certain roommate after you’ve met the girls on the group chat or let us pick somebody for you.
We offer solo rooms on certain trips for people that want their own space but you are 100% welcome to sign up by yourself and we will get you a great roommate.
