Our Trips
OVERVIEW
Trips last from 8-11 days. This includes traveling in and out of the country and for the adventure travel sea kayaking or hiking sections.
Sea kayak trips are self supported, land supported by vehicle or mothership supported in which meals are eaten aboard the ship, and others are supported by a skiff with driver to carry gear and food.
Price per person for each trip ranges from $1500-3500 depending on which one and how many people are in your group. International airfare is not included in this price. Travel insurance is also not included in this price. There is no insurance provided by OYV Kayak and Adventure. For this reason we require that all participants purchase their own travel insurance for coverage during their trip.
All trips cover transfers upon arrival with a bilingual OYV Kayak and Adventure representative and hotel accommodations in the country.
We have two different travel seasons July-August and December-January.
