    Kristin

    Asked on December 1st, 2025

    Is this strictly adhered to? We are very fit and healthy

    Age Range
    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten December 2025

      We have to follow our guidelines as per our tour requirements, meaning we are unable to accommodate guests who are over the age of 59.

  • A

    Alicia

    Asked on September 30th, 2025

    when go to book the this trip, will they be able to specify that they want to do the shared hotel rooms together, or should they just book as a group of 2? Alternatively is there a possible option of having 3 person hotel rooms for the 3 of us, or is maximum 2 per room?

    Accommodation
    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2025

      It would be easier for them to book as a group of 2 and that way we will group the booking. We don't offer any 3 bed rooms, most of the stays are in twin/double bed share rooms (and they would be paired together), but there are a few days where you will be in Multishare rooms so you'll all likely be together in that one.

    • A

      Alicia

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      Before the trip, will there be any formal itinerary (beyond the general one on the website) with specific dates, hotel names, first day meeting place, tour guide contacts, etc? I would just like to make sure where pre-trip communication will come from in advance of the trip.

    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2025

      Yes we will send out a Welcome Email 30 days before the start of the tour which will include the confirmed itinerary for your tour dates, a Welcome Pack (with hand tips, tricks and other bits to help you whilst on tour). 3-5 days prior to that you will then be added to a group WhatsApp where you can meet your fellow travellers, introduce yourself and meet you guide.

    • A

      Alicia

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      I am writing to inquire about my previous note on the formal itinerary within 30 days of the travel date. I don't believe I have received this yet so I'm not sure if maybe it went to my spam folder or if this is still in then works. Can you confirm if this is available yet? If so, I am also curious if it will be available for download on the Tour Radar app as well (in case it did go a spam folder).

    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten November 2025

      We are actually set to send it out today. Do keep an eye out for the the email soon, there have been cases where it's ended up in the spam folder so do check there too.

    Tour Details
    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      Our tours do have fixed itineraries, but if there were any activities at all that you did wish to not take part in, that is absolutely fine. Our experienced tour guide will be more than happy to offer some alternative suggestions, or you can even do some exploring of your own! The price for this 12 day tour will be $2295AUD per person and will include all accommodation, transport (excluding airport drop off) and 22 activities, all of which are pre organised prior to your arrival to allow for a completely stress free and enjoyable experience.

  • K

    Keith

    Asked on February 5th, 2025

    Is the guide for this tours always local? Because I made a OneLifeAdventure Tour in Japan before and the guide was from England. And I think that's a huge difference and much better, if the guide is originially from the country we visit. And do we use Whatsapp with a group chat to communicate or Facebook Messenger while the tour?

    Tour Details
    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2025

      Joan

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      We are willing to pay more if need be. Please let me know.

    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2024

      We have to contact our suppliers first to see if we can arrange something for you on day 7 and day 8.

    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2024

      I'm happy to confirm that you'll have a private room for both Day 7 and Day 8 of the tour. However, we're still awaiting confirmation on the pricing for this upgrade.
