Tour Care & Safety
The health and safety of our travellers is always our #1 priority. To ensure your well-being and provide peace of mind, we have created enhanced health and safety protocols for our tours.
These procedures fall in line with recommendations from the World Health Organization and the World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) Safe Travel Protocols for tour operators.
We do all we can to ensure our travellers' safety and health while on our adventures, but we also need your help—by working together, we can create a safe and enjoyable travel experience for everyone.
We do not require you to be fully-vaccinated in order to travel with us; however, we do still recommend that all travellers are fully-vaccinated before travelling.
We recognize the immense privilege that it is to travel and will continue to act on our moral obligation and duty of care to the communities we visit. We believe vaccinations play a key role in saving lives and helping to keep people safe. Though much of the world is vaccinated against Covid-19, vaccination rates remain low in some of the destinations and communities we visit. We continue to support global vaccine equity and continue to strongly encourage all travellers to get fully-vaccinated against Covid-19.

Entry Requirements
Adventures Abroad no longer requires proof of vaccination as a condition of participation. All travellers must take full responsibility to ensure that they conform to entry requirements applicable to the country/ies to be visited and/or transited on their tour. -
Covid On Tour
Should a participant become ill on tour with symptoms consistent with Covid-19, they should immediately notify the Tour Leader and self-isolate, both for their health and the welfare of the group. In the event of a positive test, you will not be able to rejoin the tour until a confirmed negative test result is achieved or until no symptoms are being exhibited. We will do our best to ensure everyone receives the help and support they may need; however, participants should be aware that all expenses for additional food, lodging, and transportation expenses incurred in catching up with the group, are the sole responsibility of the participant. As always, we strongly recommend a comprehensive travel insurance policy that provides coverage for such situations. -
Doing Your Part
Planning and executing a successful tour has always been a shared responsibility and, more than ever, we'll be relying upon our intrepid travellers to do their part to heed the advice and instructions provided pre-trip, and from our Tour Leaders and local partners at destination. It's up to all of us to ensure that we embark on future adventures with respect and consideration for one another and those we encounter along the way. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a safe and rewarding experience for all and a happy and healthy return home.
The safety and well-being of our travellers, tour leaders, and ground suppliers is always our top priority. We have a team dedicated to creating health and safety procedures, with an emphasis on hygiene and sanitation. These procedures are in line with recommendations from the World Health Organization and following the World Travel & Tourism Council’s (WTTC) Safe Travel protocols for tour operators. We take every step we possibly can to care for your well-being, while still providing an educational and enjoyable experience
To prepare for the new realities of travel, we have worked diligently to set in place extra safety protocols.
- Making hand-sanitizer and face masks readily available whenever possible / if possible
- Enhancing staff cleaning protocols, including sanitation of all vehicles, common spaces, and accommodations
- Adjusting touring and sightseeing in the best way possible in order to avoid large crowds
We have always prided ourselves in having some of the smallest groups in the business, with an average group size of 12-14 travellers.
Our Operations team keep up-to-date with local developments and are in regular contact with our partners.
As responsible travellers, anyone who chooses to travel with us has a duty of care to themselves and the people around them. We ask that all our travellers comply with local regulations and laws, as well as our own health and safety guidelines, to ensure that everyone can enjoy their adventure, while remaining well. Before travelling, we recommend you check your government’s travel advisory and the World Health Organization website for the most current information on destinations being visited. Many airlines and airports have specific safety procedures they are following, so travellers are encouraged to check with their airline prior to their adventure and arrive at the airport early as these updated protocols will add more time to check in and security check points.
Many thanks for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support!
Adventures Abroad staff, management, Tour Leaders and worldwide partners and colleagues.
