interested in this tour for our unit of 3, will we be able to share accommodations or will 1 person need a separate room?

This tour looks interesting but the meals included indicate only 1 breakfast. So just like to ask what passengers do for breakfast lunch and dinner around the daily travelling itinerary?

For the other meals, your guide will always provide recommendations and assist the group in finding great local options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner along the way. This allows you the flexibility to try different cuisines and restaurants at your own pace and according to your preferences.

Is this tour suitable 2 active 70 plus year olds? 77 and 70

The age range advertised serves as a guideline for the average age range of passengers booked on the tour. We're quite flexible and welcome guests of all ages, though we do recommend the single supplement for solo senior passengers. What matters most is that you're comfortable with the itinerary and the pace of the trip!

Are there other solo travellers for the September 19 and 26 departures?

We are not able to book extra accommodation nights outside of the tour dates.

What hotel will we be staying at in Miami?

Please find your confirmed hotel list below. Please note that we do not pre/post night accommodation service for this tour, therefore you will need to reach out to the hotel directly to book your extra night accommodation.

How can I find out about available excursions?

Optional excursions can be booked in person with the tour guide once you arrive at the destination.

Is this tour running please? Do you have x2 spots?

I'm pleased to confirm that the tour is still running and we currently have availability for two more passengers. You are welcome to proceed with your booking at your earliest convenience to secure your spots.

  specifically about the southern explorer tour for summer 2027, we are a family of 3, our child will be 13 at time of travel and we dont want to be split into 2 rooms. Do your hotels not offer arrangements for this?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written January 2026
  For our tours, please note that the minimum age exception to participate is 16 years old. Unfortunately, this means a child aged 13 at the time of travel would not be eligible to join the tour. A room for three can be arranged however it is subject to availability and typically has a roll-on type of third bed
