Group Tours have been on the rise with top companies for the past handful of years, as the opportunity to travel with like-minded strangers makes for an amazing adventure. In adapting to current restrictions as well as health and safety measures, companies are now introducing private options for their famous trips.
REI Adventures is offering Private Departures for any of their trips around the world, with a group minimum of just four people. So grab your immediate family or a few friends and you're set! Oh, and did we mention that they're the same price per person as their standard tours? Yeah, that. And in addition to competitive pricing, safety is a priority. "REI has also examined its entire trip assortment to ensure operations exceeded health and safety guidelines, and added new policies to ensure the health and well-being of all travellers," Cynthia Dunbar, REI adventure travel director, told POPSUGAR.
Aqua Expeditions is hosting private vessel charter experiences for up to 32 passengers if you're looking for a splurge on a once in a lifetime trip. All ships operate with health and safety officers on board and some of the destinations include Indonesia, Cambodia, and Vietnam. There's also a brand new ship, the Aqua Nera, which allows you to explore the Amazon River in Peru. Bucket list anyone?
