      Traveler•Written January 2022

      I'm just really curious about the age restriction. Like why 15? Only asking bc we have done tours w/several other tour companies & they had no problem with children.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2022

      To be honest there can be many factors as to why they set the age limit. It can be an insurance issue that they run into, they may not think some of the activities are suited towards people that young etc.

    Virginia

    Asked on June 29th, 2015

    Do you think taking a suitcase is acceptable on this trip? 4 wheeler?

    Other
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2015

      On this trip, you must pack as lightly as possible because you will be expected to carry your own bag and although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we strongly recommend keeping the weight under 20kg.

      Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day trips.
