Suntrek has been a leader in small group
adventure tours in North America for almost
30 years. You'll share amazing experiences with a small group of up
to 13 international travellers, being whisked around in a customised
maxi-van and accompanied by a Suntrek group leader. The small
group size means you get to experience more of the local culture
too, which isn't always possible in a larger group or by yourself. More
than a trip, you'll get your accommodation, transport, expert guide,
entrance fees and experiences all thrown in.
Trip kitty: Where stated you contribute to a kitty, used to pay for
some group meals. You'll pitch in to help shop for food and cook.
Your trip leaders: All Suntrek leaders have graduated from an
intensive training program which guarantees amazing knowledge.
Transportation: Specially equipped vans are used with air-con and
music players. Perfect to get you off the beaten track!
Guaranteed departures: Regardless of the number of passengers,
once your booking is confi rmed, we don't cancel your trip.
Backpacker trips
are excellent value
- expect amazing
experiences,
but none of the
inclusions that
you may not want. You'll travel in groups of no
more than 13 people in a private van. The group
leader will off er advice, helping you to uncover
the region's hidden gems. There will be plenty
of free time and optional activities. Ideal for
those seeking fun and independence with some
support or those making the most of their time
with minimum hassle and maximum experiences.
backpacker camping: Most nights you'll be
camping, with some exceptions in the cities
where you'll be in hotels or hostels. Tents are
provided but don't forget to BYO sleeping bag.
backpacker lodging: Wake up in the wilderness
but in the comfort of a hostel, hotel or rustic
cabin. Don't forget your sleeping bag.
Explorer is your style
of travel if you want
all the experiences
with more inclusions, meals and creature
comforts. You'll stay in hotels and lodges in
the best locations. Along the way you'll really
experience the destination up close. You'll mingle
with locals and gain special insights from your
leader. This isn't luxury travel but real world
experiences with a softer landing.
Thrilling adventures is
the simplest way to
describe these trips.
As you'd expect, activity is the key - we're talking
hiking central here. You don't need to be super
fi t for Active trips, but they're ideal if you want a
physical challenge, plenty of cultural interaction
and incredible scenery.
