Important info

Special notes
  • We always recommend travelling with a backpack and packing light! 10-20kgs of stuff should be plenty.

  • The name on your booking must be exactly the same as the name on your passport. Any discrepancy between the booking information and your passport may result in you not being able to board your flight. In this case, you will need to book a new flight at your own expense.
  • Viewpoint in NB is a tough climb but can be stopped at any time.
  • For tours with an age range of 18–49, the average age of participants is usually in the late 20s to early 30s. We kindly ask you to be aware of this to ensure your comfort and to avoid any impact on your experience or that of the group.
