    I would like to know if there was an option to skip the Death Valley/opt for another destination instead in the summer

    Carol

    Asked on April 26th, 2023

    Would like to know if the accommodation for 1 traveler will be a single room or a shared room?

    Accommodation
    • The prices on the website are based on twin share accommodation. Which means that a solo traveller would be paired up with another person of the same gender. If you would prefer to have your own room, there would be an additional cost of USD2519. Please note there are only 2 spaces left on this trip at present.
