JOIN THE ADVENTURE

Welcome to the 2026/27 Exodus Adventure Travels Brochure. We’ve spent 50 years leading the way in adventure travel, shaped by you, our travellers, and our group leaders whose expertise sets our adventures apart. They’re the ones who know the best mountain views, the hidden tavernas, and the stories you’ll still be telling years later. It’s their expertise that brings each trip to life, and you’ll see it throughout these pages.

Inside, we’ve lined up some exciting new adventures for 2026/27 (see page 20). You could be trekking across Sri Lanka’s newly launched Pekoe Trail, discovering the towering pinnacles of Big Tsingy in Madagascar, crossing the Tibetan Plateau by sky train, or climbing a Maya temple at dawn in Guatemala. I’m also thrilled to share something completely new: Exodus Extensions. Think of our Extensions as the bonus track to your adventure –

extra days you can add on before or after your trip to spend as you wish. Imagine adding a beach break in Zanzibar, a city stay in Florence, a wellness retreat in Costa Rica, or a safari in South Africa, because there’s simply no reason to end the adventure early (see page 14).

As our trips expand, so does our commitment to the places we visit. We’ve recently launched two new projects – the Primate Survival Project in Vietnam and the Jaguar Resilience Project in Costa Rica. With these, our Wild at Heart initiative now spans five projects across four continents, giving Exodus a global presence in species protection (see page 16).

So, whether you’re looking to try something new, enjoy one of our all-time classics, return to an old favourite, or set off somewhere unexpected, 2026/27 is a brilliant time to join us and let the adventure begin.

SCAN HERE TO MEET OUR LEADERS

You’re in good company EXPERT LOCAL GUIDES

Exodus’s local leaders are at the heart of every adventure, connecting you with the landscapes, the locals and the legends that bring a destination to life. More than guides, they’re storytellers, problemsolvers and motivators when you need them. With insider knowledge, they’ll steer you towards the good stuff –a tucked-away taverna, a local artisan’s workshop, or a trail you wouldn’t find on Google Maps. While they’re quietly taking care of the logistics, you’re free to enjoy the adventure. And long after the trip’s over, it’s their knowledge, warmth and wit that you’ll remember most.

STIINA KRISTAL Expert Leader: Walking & Trekking

An International Mountain Leader with a passion for long-distance hiking, Stiina Kristal has trekked the Alta Via 4 in the Dolomites, cycled the Camino de Santiago and tackled sections of the legendary Pacific Crest Trail. Fluent in six languages, she brings her love of the outdoors to every journey, spotting alpine wildflowers, guiding groups along rewarding switchbacks or enjoying a mountaintop lunch with new friends. Guided by the Leave No Trace ethos, Stiina blends adventure with a deep respect for nature, inspiring others to do the same.

JOHNNY VILLALOBOS Expert Leader: Wildlife

A legend among tour guides in Costa Rica, renowned naturalist Johnny Villalobos has been leading adventures through tropical rainforests for over 25 years. Whether it’s spotting nesting turtles in Tortuguero, watching scarlet macaws in flight, or walking the hanging gardens of the cloud forest, Johnny’s deep knowledge and passion for the natural world give travellers a truly immersive experience. He’s consistently praised for his attention to detail, steady positivity, and unwavering commitment to sharing Costa Rica’s “Pura Vida” spirit on every trip he leads.

THANH VU Expert Leader: Culture

Born in the countryside south of Hanoi, Thanh Vu has been expertly leading Exodus tours since 2015, earning a reputation for his exceptional leadership and deep pride in his home country. From navigating bustling streets to bringing history to life, Thanh creates a warm, inclusive atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on every traveller. He ensures each experience feels unique – uncovering the mystery of Ha Long Bay one day, and tucking into a quintessential Hanoi street food feast the next, complete with plastic chairs and bia hoi beer. As Thanh says, “If you are doing what you love, you don’t have to work a single day”.

RIT APHIWATTHANAKUL Expert Leader: Cycling

Former Buddhist monk Rit Aphiwatthanakul brings a sense of calm to the exhilarating cycling adventures he leads across Southeast Asia. With a deep love for his region’s culture and history, Rit guides his groups through iconic sites like Ayutthaya, the Angkor Temple Complex, and along the lively Mekong Delta. His favourite spot is Cambodia’s Tonlé Sap, a birdwatcher’s paradise and a peaceful escape where visitors can witness stunning sunsets over the lake’s stilt villages. His groups are consistently captivated not only by the breathtaking views but also by Rit’s quiet leadership, extensive knowledge, and genuine care in ensuring every trip is both seamless and unforgettable.

GROUP TRAVEL Guided Small

“I have just completed the Tour du Mont Blanc with Exodus, it was outstanding! It says something when 80% of the party members had been on multiple Exodus tours. The organisation and information was excellent with the trip enhanced by an outstanding and charismatic guide.”

Since 1974, we’ve been on the search for truly local experiences, whether that’s spotting wildlife from a Mokoro canoe in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, whipping up Sicilian delicacies with local chefs or mastering the salsa on heady rooftops in Cuba.

Discover why so many solo travellers choose to travel with us.

IN YOUR WORDS

This is not a holiday, this is an adventure. The local guide (Lam) and the support team in Vietnam were truly amazing and everything worked like clockwork. We saw and did so much over the 14 days, getting a real experience of this country and its incredible landscape and culture. This is an experience not to be missed, life affirming and life changing.

Steve Taberner

Cycling Vietnam

A jam-packed itinerary with great sights and activities while still leaving some free time to explore on our own. It takes in all the main tourist attractions but what I enjoyed most was the lesser known cities, Xi’an, and Chengdu. Xi’an was my favourite, for its historic centre, and lively night-time vibe. As a solo traveller, this was my first long-haul trip, and it was brilliant. Just go!

Ming Ho

Essential China

My first trip with Exodus, and it was so good I’m ready to book my next! All went so smoothly and the activities and people were wonderful. It was my first ever solo travel experience and having other solo travellers in the group was a plus. The rest of my group was also super friendly and welcoming. And I feel fortunate to have had such a wonderful, fun and kind leader. Vania was excellent.

Fabiana Duarte

Walking the Prosecco Hills & Hidden Venice

Best trip of my life. I booked The Inca Trail with extensions to the Amazon and Lake Titicaca, my only regret, not having done it sooner in my life! Most inspirational moment? Everything... the scenery and the expert guides for all our experiences. I travelled alone and I wanted a company to take care of everything and ensure I was safe throughout. It was really worth it.

Melissa Morris

The Inca Trail

WAY

It’s time to take the adventure out of the group chat. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, taking on a charity challenge, or simply want to explore the world with friends or family, our Private Group Adventures make it super easy. Choose from hundreds of our award-winning itineraries, then leave the logistics to us – flights, transfers, trip extensions and all the thoughtful touches in between.

With flexible dates, no age limits, and expert local guides who know their trails, temples and tapas, you’ll enjoy a richer kind of travel – shared with the people who matter most. Better still, private groups of 8+ people receive a 5% discount, and 10+ people unlock 10% off.

From chat to trail – let’s plan.

Add to your Adventure

Take advantage of Extras – our new service that seamlessly handles travel add-ons like booking international flights, upgrading hotels, or extending your stays. Extras is designed to make customising your journey simple and stress-free. From the moment you book until you return home, Extras adds flexibility, comfort, and thoughtful touches, so you can focus on what really matters: the experience.

Flights

Window or aisle? Extra legroom or a stopover? We’ll arrange flights to suit you – ATOL protected, flexible, and from your preferred airport, so you can relax before take-off.

Upgrades

Looking for sea views, balconies or hot tubs to make your downtime better? We’ll arrange it all, so after a day’s adventure, your room feels as rewarding as the trip.

Extended Hotel Stays

Arriving at 4am or leaving at midnight? We can book the perfect pre- or post-trip stay, so you can avoid the hassle and start or finish your adventure rested and refreshed.

BEACH BREAKS

Adventures are great. Adventures plus a beach break? Even better. After Kenya’s wildlife, unwind on Zanzibar’s shore. Or follow Amalfi’s trails with sea, and limoncello in Sorrento. Whether it’s post-trip bliss or pre-adventure unwinding, soft sands and sea breeze are the perfect punctuation to reflect on the wild, the wonderful – and what’s next.

CITY BREAKS

On our extended city breaks, you can swap hiking poles for pastries and art galleries. Weave through Tokyo’s neon Yokocho alleys after our Ancient and Modern Japan, or admire Florence post Walking in Tuscany. Our city stays aren’t just bonus days –they’re bold finales, giving you one more reason not to head home.

NATURE

Experience nature at its wildest – raw, remote, and full of wonder. After Cycling the Cape & Winelands, trade your saddle for safari in the Eastern Cape. Or take your wildlife adventure on land post snorkelling in the Galapagos with a jungle lodge stay in Ecuador’s rainforest. Because sometimes, nature deserves an encore.

WELLNESS

Our Wellness Extensions offer time to recharge, reset and savour the stillness. After tracking big cats in Kruger why not swap the bush for a luxurious spa in Mauritius? Or follow your Primates & Dragons of Indonesia trip with a wellness retreat in Bali. Every great adventure deserves a moment of calm to match the thrill.

ADD-ON TOURS

Unlike our beach breaks, wellness retreats or city stays, our add-on tours pair you with an expert guide for even more in-depth exploring. Once you’ve trekked Ladakh’s peaks, you could explore India’s Golden Triangle. Or, cap off Vietnam with a trip to Angkor Wat. You’ve hit your stride – so why not keep going?

Wild AT HEART

We believe travel should do more than immerse you in the world’s most spectacular places – it should also play a part in protecting them. Through our Wild at Heart initiative, we’re backing bold conservation efforts to protect wild creatures we can’t afford to lose.

From the tropical rainforest of Costa Rica to the savannahs of Kenya, the Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation is making its mark on species protection, with projects now spanning four continents. Established to promote travel as a force for good, our Foundation invests in conservation and community-based initiatives that help nature and people thrive together. This year marks an exciting new chapter in our conservation journey with the launch of our ‘Wild at Heart’ campaign – a three-year commitment to supporting communities in protecting some of the world’s most threatened species. We’re excited to launch two new projects in Vietnam and Costa Rica, alongside our ongoing work to safeguard elephants in Kenya, tigers in India, and bears in Italy. In partnership with leading conservation experts, we’re using cutting-edge science and community empowerment to help key species thrive. Here’s how we’re making a difference.

“Our ‘Wild at Heart’ campaign supports species, environments and communities. We’ve made it easy for travellers to contribute, and 100% of donations go directly towards work on the ground.”

PROTECTING VIETNAM’S ENDANGERED PRIMATES

In Vietnam’s remote forests, some of the world’s rarest primates are teetering on the brink of extinction. Exodus are working with NGO Fauna & Flora to save these apes from extinction through our Primate Survival Project, using technology like thermal drones and acoustic monitoring to track these elusive primates in near-inaccessible terrain. The project also helps to support local communities by training rangers and creating sustainable livelihoods through ecotourism and traditional crafts. This pioneering project ensures conservation isn’t imposed from the outside but grows from within.

JAGUAR RESILIENCE IN COSTA RICA

On Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, a fascinating ecological experiment is underway. The Jaguar Resilience Project, led by Osa Conservation and supported by Exodus, is focused on restoring the jaguar’s crucial prey, the white-lipped peccary. By reintroducing this keystone species, the project aims to restore balance to the ecosystem and support jaguar populations. Rooted in community partnerships, the project will expand over the next three years across the Piedras Blancas region, combining species recovery with school programmes and community workshops to ensure long-term success.

KENYA’S ELEPHANTS ROAM FREE

SAFEGUARDING TIGER HABITATS IN INDIA

In India’s Bandhavgarh National Park, Bengal tigers have been staging a comeback in recent years– but their future still hangs in the balance. Forests are under pressure for firewood, and livestock losses continue to spark conflict. Our Tiger Habitat Project aims to give practical solutions for nearby communities: 280 homes now use efficient stoves, saving 84 tonnes of wood each year, while 150 cattle sheds have been upgraded to keep livestock safe and effectively reduce human-wildlife conflict. Other measures include fencing, solar lights, and clearing invasive lantana to restore the native forest.

In partnership with Tsavo Trust and the Tofauti Foundation, the Free to Roam Project has been changing the face of elephant conservation in Kenya since 2021. Thanks to the innovative 10% Fence Plan, farmers can safeguard crops with permaculture training and solar-powered fences, while elephants can roam freely. To date, 23 fences have safeguarded 47 households, with crop yields up by over 70%. There have also been no reports of elephant-human conflict since, proving that when nature and communities work hand in hand, both can thrive.

OPENING CORRIDORS FOR THE MARSICAN BEAR

Fewer than 60 Marsican brown bears remain in the wild – and conservation experts, Rewilding Apennines, are aiming to change this. Through our partnership, we are committed to rewilding 100 sqm per passenger booked and contributing to the funding of rewilding five ecological corridors, so that Marsican bears can roam safely.

DISCOVER JOÃO’S PORTUGAL:

Where Every Turn Tells a

João Colaço didn’t plan to become a cycling guide. But four years after swapping his previous career in engineering for a life on two wheels in Portugal, he’s been named Exodus Adventure Travels’ Leader of the Year 2024 – and it’s easy to see why.

João combines the best of both worlds in his guiding approach: a meticulous blend of planning, local knowledge, humour, and heartfelt hospitality. And it’s all delivered with the easy confidence of someone who’s been known to run the cycling route at sunrise, just to guarantee perfect conditions.

Born in Marinha Grande, João grew up surrounded by nature. “My father was in the military,” he explains, “so since I was a kid, we were always running together. Whether it’s trail running, ultramarathons, or hikes in the Alps, the Pyrenees and Morocco, nature and sport have always been a big part of my life.”

When asked what he loves most about his job, João’s answer is a simple one. “Meeting people from all over the world and showing off my beautiful country.”

And show it off he does, though never in a flashy way. João’s Portugal isn’t the touristy gloss of Lisbon or posh Porto wine cruises. It’s the wind-ruffled pine forest where he ran as a boy. It’s the taverna in Óbidos that doesn’t have a sign because, frankly, everyone in town already knows it’s there. It’s the bakery in Sítio da Nazaré called Terrace, where João insists they serve the best Portuguese custard tarts in the world. “Cinnamon on top is mandatory,” he adds, seriously. “It makes all the difference.”

João says he knows every route like the back of his hand, but that doesn’t stop him from preparing each one meticulously. “Everything, we test every adjustment to the route, we keep close contact with suppliers, restaurant owners… all those background details that the group might not see, they matter.”

João is full of fun surprises not listed in the Trip Notes. One favourite is the last-day visit to a tiny grocery-tavern across the street from the hotel in Óbidos – Portugal’s storybook medieval village with castle walls and cobbled alleys. “It’s owned by Luís Filipe, fifth generation. There are no signs outside, just the delicious smell of cherry liqueur. I like to take the group in for a toast – to taste their locally sourced ginjinha before dinner. The shop hasn’t changed in over a hundred years. It’s like stepping into a time machine.”

“Meeting people from all over the world and showing off my beautiful country.”

On day five of the Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride, João leads the group into his hometown of São Pedro de Moel. “We cycle right past my house, 20 metres away,” he says. So he regularly invites his group to his home for a final toast of port wine and chocolate.

You could say João finds joy in the smallest details, like visiting the tiny restaurant Volta e Meia in Figueira da Foz. Run by four friends, the restaurant has an eclectic collection of Portuguese trinkets and nostalgia. The desserts come served in jars, complete with handwritten messages on serviettes under the glass.

There are easier ways to see Portugal, but none compare to the hum of tyres on tarmac, the coastal breeze on your face, and João up ahead with a grin and a plan. If you want to see Portugal through the eyes of someone who knows every twist in the trail, every hidden bakery, and the unmarked tavern in Óbidos worth toasting in, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better guide.

PORTO TO LISBON ATLANTIC RIDE

Best for scenic routes and seaside towns

Carefully created by our well-travelled experts, our trips span not just a multitude of countries, but a number of interests too. And although our tours offer a wide range of experiences, each one is focused around a specific theme or activity: from cultural discoveries and wildlife encounters to trekking, cycling and more. Look out for the icons next to the trip names to select the perfect trip style for you.

No matter your experience, ability or fitness level, there’s an Exodus adventure out there (and in here) for you. From high octane thrills to leisurely exploration, we’ve covered all the bases. You’ll find the level for each trip near the top of each listing. See overleaf (page 26) to find out more.

We now grade our accommodation from Simple to Premium, to help you choose the right trip for you. Look out for the labels on the trip pages, and for more information overleaf (page 27).

LOOK OUT FOR…

NEW Keep an eye out for the NEW flag throughout the brochure to easily spot which of our adventures are new this season.

SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT

On the majority of our group cycling trips, a support vehicle accompanies the riders. These carry tools, refreshments, and even (if you’re tired) you! This allows people of different fitness levels to enjoy the same trip. On many trips, you can also choose to hire an e-bike – these are regular bicycles with a battery-powered ‘pedal assist’ to give you a boost when you need it and help you cruise over tougher terrain. Look at the ‘At a glance’ section of the trip information to see if this option is available.

FINDING YOUR LEVEL

From easy-going cultural escapes to demanding mountain treks, we have a trip to suit every type of adventurer. To help you find one that matches your preferences and fitness, we’ve assigned each with an Activity Level and Comfort Level. Here’s what these two ratings mean.

Activity Levels

When it comes to small-group adventures, it’s vital you choose one that suits your ability, experience and fitness. That’s why we assign each of our trips with an Activity Level. These indicate how strenuous the adventure will be and range from Easy to Tough. Challenges change by trip type, so we have different descriptions for our different programmes. Here’s a brief explanation.

WALKING, HIKING & TREKKING

We mostly consider the daily distance covered and height gained. For Easy trips, expect a maximum of 5 miles (8km) per day, which often allows for some free time. Our Tough trips, which typically involve the ascent of a mountain, can be three times that. Previous experience and excellent fitness are essential.

CULTURE, WILDLIFE, POLAR & FAMILY

While our trips in these four programmes are typically less active, all require a sense of adventure. The Activity Levels here are determined by two factors. The first is the duration and difficulty of the included activities, such as on-foot sightseeing or guided walks. The second is the overall pace, which includes any early starts and longer journeys.

CYCLING

Our Cycling Activity Levels are mostly determined by distance and height gained. For our Easy trips, you’re riding for two to four hours a day, nearly always on paved roads. Experienced cyclists with very good fitness could test themselves on one of our Challenging trips, where you need to be comfortable cycling six to eight hours per day.

WINTER

We offer several different types of Winter adventures. For most Winter trips, including our multi-activity, Northern Lights or cultural trips, we consider the difficulty of the activities and overall pace, including early starts and journeys. For snowshoeing adventures, we consider the distance covered, height gained, terrain and fitness requirements.

Comfort Levels

Whether you’re an intrepid mountaineer with several summits under your belt or a first timer to small-group adventures, finding a trip that matches your preferences is vital to maximising your enjoyment. And the places you stay are essential to that.

That’s why we’ve introduced Comfort Levels, an easy-to-use accommodation rating running from Simple to Premium. Each adventure is assigned an overall Comfort Level, which is an average of the accommodations used. If you’d prefer to dig into the details, you can also find a day-to-day breakdown for each trip on our website.

Here’s what we mean by each of our four overall Comfort Level ratings.

SIMPLE

Our Simple trips are typically our most adventurous. The majority of accommodation will be modest: think Nepalese tea houses, dorm-style bunks or mountain huts with shared bathrooms. Most of our camping trips fall into this category, whether that’s wild camping beside the Zambezi River or the comparatively wellequipped sites (with hot showers) of the Tour du Mont Blanc. Ideal if you crave a back-to-basics adventure.

CLASSIC

Book a Classic trip and enjoy accommodation with everything you need to be comfy. We aim to use small, family-run properties, though we may also use larger hotels with extras such as pools, lounge areas or a garden. In hot climates, expect air conditioning or fans to keep you cool. Private bathrooms are standard, with only the odd exception, such as the ryokans of Japan, where shared facilities are common – as are in-house onsen spas.

SUPERIOR

If you want a little more from your accommodation, book yourself onto a Superior trip. The properties we use on these adventures typically include an extraspecial feature or two, such as an unbeatable location, destination restaurant, or photo-worthy view. Rooms are usually stylish, while still being kitted out for comfort. Expect air conditioning in hotter climates and generally very good levels of service.

PREMIUM

Our Premium trips deliver the wow factor with properties worth writing home about. Whether you’re staying in a luxury Bedouin camp in the Wadi Rum desert, an Egyptian palace with views over the Nile or a renovated monastery in Italy, you can expect excellent levels of service and facilities. For a combination of style, authenticity and a little bit of luxury, our Premium adventures are perfect.

EUROPE

With world-famous walks along Amalfi’s pastel-hued coastline, and exhilarating sightings of Brown bears in the Carpathian Mountains, our European trips pack a punch. Discover stunning glaciers in Iceland, trek through the towering Dolomites or cycle along the Dalmatian Coast for an unforgettable experience.

Why book your POLAR EXPEDITION WITH US?

Whether you choose to head north to spot polar bears, or south to view vast penguin colonies, we can ensure your polar voyage will be unforgettable. We offer over 25 trips led by our sister company, Quark Expeditions, who have been pioneering voyages to the Polar regions for over 30 years and have the most experienced staff in the industry.

EXPERT GUIDES

You’ll meet an array of experts on board, from naturalists and historians to geographers and photographers. Each voyage includes a lecture programme to give you insights into the landscapes and wildlife. The atmosphere on board is relaxed and friendly, with plenty of opportunity to mingle with staff and passengers from all over the world, all united by a passion for adventure.

INCREDIBLE ITINERARIES

We offer a wide range of pioneering itineraries to the remotest parts of the globe, combining wildlife, science, cultural activities, and more. From Spitsbergen and Greenland to South Georgia and Antarctica, each destination offers a unique perspective of the polar region. See our selection of trips on the following pages, or go online to discover more.

SMALL SHIPS

The Quark fleet is made up of purpose-built expedition ships all with a capacity of 199 passengers or less. These small ships enable landings in

more remote locations, as well as making it easier and quicker to get in and out of zodiacs. And you’ll appreciate the high standard of facilities on board including modern observation decks to give you unparalleled views.

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES

In addition to zodiac trips to view the wildlife, most of our polar expeditions include an array of optional activities to maximise your experience of the unique polar regions and ensure you create memories to last a lifetime. Choose from kayaking, paddleboarding, heli-hikes and even camping on the ice. Spaces are limited so you should book these extras before you go.

SPEAK TO AN EXPERT

We can help you pick the perfect trip to include all the things you want to see and do. Our experts can also talk you through what to expect, what to pack and how to prepare for your ‘once in a lifetime’ journey. Between them, Georgia, Alex and Robyn have been on multiple trips to the Polar regions, and are happy to share their insights. Simply call 03330 607 112.

KEY BOOKING INFORMATION

Having chosen the holiday you are interested in, below is some information which you may find useful in relation to your booking and holiday. Details correct at time of publication, please call or go online to check up-to-date booking conditions: www.exodus.co.uk/about-exodus/ exodus-booking-conditions

1. Refer to the Trip Notes

The Trip Notes form part of our contract with you and they contain the most up-to-date information about the holiday, including details about the itinerary, inclusions and exclusions. Please download and take the latest version of the Trip Notes with you on your holiday.

2. About the trip

Is this trip for you?

We aim to provide detailed and accurate information in our documentation so that clients can assess their own suitability and fitness for a specific trip. We ask that you satisfy yourself prior to booking that you are able to complete the itinerary as described in the Trip Notes. All our trips feature Activity Level icons as guides to the type of itinerary and the level of challenge the trip will involve. An explanation of each Activity Level can be found at www.exodus.co.uk/activity-levels. Please let your sales consultant know during the booking process if you have concerns or queries about any aspects of the itinerary.

Participation

We ask our clients to always abide by the authority of the tour leader. There is an agreement in place between Exodus and our tour leaders, allowing them to exclude any client from part or all of a trip if it unfortunately becomes apparent that they cannot manage particular elements of a trip or are likely to put either themselves or other people at risk. It is, however, not a decision that is reached lightly or that is made frequently.

Pre-existing medical conditions

We ask you to let us know of any pre-existing conditions, illnesses, disabilities or recent surgeries which may affect your safety or other people’s enjoyment of the holiday. Please email CustomerServices@exodus.co.uk to make us aware of any pre-existing medical conditions. Our Trip Notes provide information on whether a particular holiday is considered to be suitable for a person with reduced mobility. There is no upper age limit on our tours, but as most holidays are quite active, we may ask clients over the age of 80 a number of questions about their health and fitness. We also require you to advise us of any dietary requirements in advance of a tour.

Accommodation

Our prices are based on twin-share accommodation which means that if you book on your own, we will arrange for you to share with a person of the same gender as per the information given to Exodus at the time of booking. We ask you to satisfy yourself that you do not have any conditions or preferences which may preclude you from sharing a room, and that you speak to your sales consultant if you would like to enquire about a single supplement.

Key information to help you prepare

Important trip documentation will be provided during the booking process and prior to your holiday. If you have any queries or notice any inaccuracies, please contact Exodus as soon as possible.

We are able to provide basic advice to clients regarding passports, visa and entry requirements, but you should check with the appropriate embassy, consulate or the British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office for the exact requirements for your chosen tour and date of travel. British nationals require a full passport which is valid for six months after the date of your scheduled return home. The Trip Notes for each holiday provide more detailed information on visa requirements.

We recommend that you contact your Medical Professional or a Travel Health Clinic for information about vaccinations or specific health risks in the area to which you are travelling. Please see the Practical Information section of the Trip Notes for information relating to vaccinations for your specific tour.

The Trip Notes also include information about packing suggestions and essential items that we recommend you bring on your holiday.

Risks of adventure travel

Whilst we ensure that all activities are operated to the local legal standard and that risk assessments are carried out annually, many of our holidays do carry an element of risk. On many of our tours, the areas are remote and events far less predictable than on a conventional holiday. Health, safety and operational standards, particularly of hotels and transport, are often not up to the levels we experience at home. We require that all the properties and transport we use comply fully with local regulations, but we do not guarantee the same standards as in your home country. If you choose to travel on this type of holiday, you must be prepared to accept that this is all part of the experience. Adverse weather conditions, political situations and a host of other uncontrollable factors can mean a change in itinerary. Outdoor activities are weather dependent to an extent and some can become dangerous in certain conditions. If the leader feels there is any heightened level of risk involved in an activity, they may amend or cancel it as they see fit. It is unlikely that an itinerary would be substantially altered, but if changes are necessary, we will make the best possible alternative arrangements which maintain the integrity of the original itinerary. We will do everything we can to minimise the effect, but we cannot be held responsible for the impact of changes outside our control.

Crime and other security risks exist in all countries and whilst travelling in a group is a safeguard, it is not a guarantee of safety. We will take all reasonable care of you and expect that you will take sensible precautions yourself.

3. Booking on a Flight Inclusive or Land Only Basis

Exodus holidays can be booked on a Land Only basis or with international flights. When booking on a Flight Inclusive basis, Exodus complies with our responsibilities under the ATOL regime. For all packages (Flight Inclusive or not) we comply with the Package Travel and Linked Travel Regulations 2018. If you have booked your flights through Exodus and experience a significant change to travel plans by an airline, we are responsible for ensuring that you can complete your journey in a reasonable timeframe and without additional cost to yourself. Please see point 6 for more information on the Package Travel Regulations. Flight costs and transfers

All flight costs are subject to price and availability at the time of enquiry and may change until we are in receipt of a deposit as detailed by your sales consultant. Occasionally, depending on the conditions of the airline, we may be required to take full payment for your flights at the time of booking.

All our trips are designed with a specified rendezvous place and time where you will meet your tour leader and other members of the group. If you are travelling on flights that do not meet this specified time, transfers may be arranged at an additional cost unless shown otherwise in your documentation; please ask your sales consultant for transfer details during the booking process. If you book on a Land Only basis, services start and end at the local joining point detailed in your documentation although we may be able to arrange transfers for you if required. Information on start and end points for each trip can be found in the detailed Trip Notes.

4. How to book

If you would like to make a booking you can contact us in several ways: directly over the telephone (03330 607 112), via the live chat function on our website or exodus.co.uk/ contact-us.

Travel insurance

Adequate and valid travel insurance for your chosen itinerary is compulsory for all travellers and it is a condition of accepting your booking that you agree you will have obtained adequate and valid travel insurance. We recommend you take out insurance as soon as your booking is confirmed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for UK travellers on a UK only domestic trip then adequate and valid travel insurance is not compulsory, but we strongly recommend you have cover in place (in particular cover for cancellation, property & personal belongings).

5. Payment, cancellations and changes

Unless stated otherwise during the booking process or in the full terms and conditions, the following applies:

Deposit

You will be asked to pay a deposit at the time of booking of at least 25% per person of your selected travel arrangements (minimum £300 per person or equivalent). You may also be required to pay on booking for any non-transferable and non-refundable items; your sales consultant will advise you of this during the booking process. Please note that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the deposit may be higher than those shown.

Final balance

We will invoice you for the remainder of the cost of your holiday, which must be paid prior to 120 days before departure. In certain cases, including Polar holidays, we may request full payment more than 120 days before departure where, for example, airlines require full payment on booking.

Making changes to your trip

Please contact Exodus as soon as possible if you wish to make a change to your existing booking, wish to change to a different tour or wish to change departure date. We will always endeavour to assist with the requested change, but this is subject to availability and payment may need to be made for non-refundable costs (for example from airlines) and other fees may also be applicable, including a £40 administration charge.

Cancellation conditions

You may cancel your tour at any time by providing written communication from the lead booker. As we start to incur costs from the time the contract is confirmed we will retain your deposit and will apply other cancellation charges as shown below. Please note, however, that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the cancellation charge may be higher than those shown; please ask your sales consultant for full details of cancellation charges at time of booking.

Period before departure in which you notify us

From the date your Booking Confirmation is issued up to, and including, 90 days prior to the departure date specified on the Booking Confirmation.

Cancellation charge

Deposit can be transferred to a new booking which must be made within 3 months of the date the original booking was cancelled. If a new booking is not made within this period then the deposit will be forfeited. Any remaining balance will be refunded excluding any non-refundable costs.

89 to 52 days (inclusive) prior to the departure date specified on the Booking Confirmation.

51 to 31 days (inclusive) prior to the departure date specified on the Booking Confirmation.

30 days or less prior to the departure date specified on the Booking Confirmation, or after the booking has started.

50% of the total holiday cost. Any remaining balance will be refunded excluding any nonrefundable costs.

75% of the total holiday cost. Any remaining balance will be refunded excluding any nonrefundable costs.

100% of the total holiday cost.

6. Our contract with you

As an Exodus customer you may have rights under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Regulations 2018 where your booking amounts to a package holiday. These are detailed here: www.exodus.co.uk/key-rights

Full terms and conditions apply to your booking and can be found here: www.exodus.co.uk/about-exodus/exodusbooking-conditions

This link also includes information on our Privacy Policy and our Data Protection Commitment.

If we change or cancel your booking

We plan the arrangements for your tour many months in advance and may occasionally have to make changes, most of which are minor.

When a major change (as outlined in the full terms and conditions on our website) occurs, you will have the choice of either:

a) accepting the change; or

b) accepting a replacement tour from us of equivalent or similar standard and price (at the date of the change), if we are able to offer you one; or

c) cancelling your tour, in which case you shall receive a full refund of all monies paid.

Most of our trips are group holidays and require a certain number of participants to operate; we include details of normal group sizes in the Trip Notes and on our website. In the unlikely event that a trip does not reach the normal minimum, we may be forced to cancel the tour; a decision will be made as early as possible and not later than 20 days before departure. We reserve the right to confirm trips on numbers lower than the minimum indicated and occasionally we may exceed the normal maximum. If at the time of booking your trip is not guaranteed, we strongly recommend that you do not make any non-refundable or non-changeable travel arrangements.
