We're still finalizing this trip's details, including its Physical Rating – here's how the ratings work in the meantime. Each Salt Caravan trip is given a Physical Rating from Basic to High They give you an idea of how much physical exertion is required on a trip so you can determine if it's the right fit. You’ll find all the details on each trip’s webpage. Not quite sure - or have some questions first? Contact us for a chat with one of our Salt Caravan Booking Managers to discuss a trip before booking if you have questions about trip suitability.

Double Occupancy Bookings: Double occupancy rooms require the booking be for two participants - this could be a partner or traveling companion. We aren't able to book solo travelers in Double Occupancy rooms and match them up with another solo traveler - please consider booking with someone you know, or a Single Occupancy booking. Single Occupancy Bookings: Single occupancy rooms are designed for one participant and are booked by travelers who prefer their own private room. These bookings are for solo travelers only and can’t be shared with another guest. If you’re traveling with a partner or friend, please book a Double Occupancy room instead. If you want to purchase a single occupancy spot, just select "Double Room - Single Occupant" from the drop-down.

In Our Opinion: Yes, Absolutely Travel insurance helps protect you from serious financial and medical risk while traveling overseas. Medical treatment, hospital stays, and emergency evacuations can be extremely expensive in many countries. Even minor illnesses or injuries can result in bills of thousands of dollars without adequate coverage. Comprehensive travel insurance can also protect you if your trip needs to be canceled or cut short due to illness, injury, family emergencies, or unexpected events, and may cover the loss, theft, or delay of luggage and personal belongings. Imagine you develop severe food poisoning halfway through your trip and need hospital treatment and several nights of care. Between medical bills, medication, and extra accommodation, your costs can quickly climb into the thousands. With comprehensive travel insurance, these expenses are covered. Without it, you are personally responsible for the full amount. Many of our trips involve physical activity and travel in remote or developing regions. It is essential that your policy covers adventure-style activities, emergency evacuation, and repatriation. 💡 Upload your policy anytime via the 'Manage my Booking' link provided in payment invoices and task reminder emails.
