Could you please confirm whether there is still availability for one single traveller on the 6th December departure of this tour? Additionally, the passenger has asked if there is any possibility of applying a higher discount for this departure.

We do have 4 spots left on this departure however, it is On Request. This means we will need to double check with our team in destination to ensure that they still have the availability to confirm you at the accommodations, on the included activities, and tickets are still available for the train and ferry. Since this departure is fast approaching for us to send off the request we will need full payment upfront. In the event that we cannot confirm you we will issue you a full refund. The On Request process can take anywhere from 3-4 business days and we advise to refrain from booking any non-refundable flights until we've gotten back to you with a firm update. At this time your requested departure date is currently on a 15% off sale for our Black Friday event and there are no further discounts that can be applied.

Could you please let us know how old the currently booked travellers are for the 15th December departure, and whether you still have availability for the departure on 15 December?

As of now, for the 15 December departure, we have 17 confirmed passengers and only 2 spots left to be booked. Here's the current age breakdown of travellers on this departure: 20–29: 2, 30–39: 1, 40–49: 1, 50–59: 3, 60–69: 6, 70+: 3.

  Traveler•Written November 2025
  Could you please clarify how this works — does the traveler need to book a space in a triple room, or is it possible for them to book a single room instead?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2025
  All rooming is based on twin share, if you are a solo traveler willing to share then we can place you with another solo of the same gender for the duration of the trip. If you would like to purchase a single supplement then you absolutely can. The single supplement applies to all nights of the trips but is On Request due to availability as it is first come first serve for these rooms. The additional cost for a single supplement will be USD $3,060.
