Asked on January 10th, 2025Can you get an upgrade on accomodation not shares rooms?
Stray TravelOperator•Written January 2025We don't offer room upgrades for our Adventure tours, if you'd prefer your own room I'd recommend our Select tours, such as our 18-Day Ruru Select Tour.

Asked on November 23rd, 2023We are interested in the 24 day tour starting Feb 13, 2024. We are 65 and 67 years old, but fit and fun-loving. Would like to know if we would fit your group demographics. We live the idea of planned tours, and this one looks like a blast! (Never stayed in a hostel……could you give us a description?) Also, did not stumble anything about luggage. Could you enlighten us?

Traveler•Written November 2023There is currently a discount. When does that end…not sure what time zone I am conversing with. It is Thursday in Calgary. We'd like to choose one of several options we are considering within the discounted range. And, what is tourRadar, exactly? How does your time affect our relationship with the tour co?
- Stray TravelOperator•Written November 2023
Regarding luggage, we recommend bringing around 15-20kgs. This tour stays in rooms of around 6-8 share hostels, you'll be sleeping mostly in bunk beds in rooms with other people.
