What are the age requirements?
To participate in our group trips, individuals must be between 18 and 35 years old. Travelers must fall within this age range on the date of the trip departure to be eligible to join. We adhere strictly to this age criteria and cannot make any exceptions. We believe that having a specific age group enhances the overall travel experience for our participants. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and ensures that everyone shares a similar wavelength during the trip. Making friends and staying connected afterward becomes more enjoyable when people are in sync with each other.
