Group Size
A very important feature of this adventure is the limited group size. Our two Expedition Leaders (for groups of 11 guests or more) provide ample opportunity for individual conversations about the environment and culture. While in the Bugaboos, our group is split into even smaller groups for heli-hiking outings, further enhancing our low-key presence and allowing ample opportunities for intimate experiences in nature.
Included
Accommodations, services of Nat Hab's professional Expedition Leader(s), local guides and lodge staff, transportation, two days onboard the luxury Rocky Mountaineer train in GoldLeaf service, all helicopter transfers while at Bugaboo Lodge, all meals from dinner on Day 1 through breakfast on final day, some gratuities, airport transfers for those arriving by air on Day 1 and final day, all activities and entrance fees, all taxes, permits and service fees.
Not Included
Travel to and from the start and end point of your trip, most alcoholic beverages, gratuities for Expedition Leaders, passport and visa fees (if any), optional activities, items of a personal nature (phone calls, laundry and internet, etc.), international airline baggage fees, airport and departure taxes (if any), required medical evacuation insurance, optional travel protection insurance.
Mandatory Insurance
Since the areas we travel to are remote and wild (that's why we go there!), we require that all guests have, at minimum, medical evacuation insurance for this program. This is for the safety of all guests. We require that your chosen independent insurance plan includes at least $250,000 in medical evacuation coverage.
To protect your investment and to provide peace of mind while you travel, we also strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance. Plans may cover everything from medical treatment to trip cancellations and delays and lost luggage. Please contact our office if you would like more information about the medical evacuation and comprehensive travel insurance policies we offer by calling 800-543-8917.
