ADVENTURE beyond the guidebook

Welcome to the 2023/24 Exodus Collection. I’m excited to share our 2023 line-up of incredible adventures with you. It comes as no surprise that demand for travel is the highest it’s been in years, prompted by those feelings and long-lasting memories travel brings, whether that’s the rush of adrenaline when you’ve reached a summit, the thrill you experience when reconnecting with nature and wildlife or the fascinating insight you gain when you discover a new culture.

Do you ever find that your next adventure is calling out to you? I do. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to visit the Treasury at Petra on our Petra & Wadi Rum adventure. I don’t know who was more excited, me or my kids. Talking with our guide Muayad one evening in our desert camp, he reminded me that our guides bring so much more than expertise. They tell the stories and really make our award winning itineraries come to life. So why not get inspired by browsing through our collection and see which trips spark your interest? There’s no better time than the present to start planning for that trip of a lifetime in 2023.

Leading the way in incredible adventures, run responsibly, we’re thrilled to extend our support to Rewilding Europe, so they can create new wildlife corridors in Croatia’s Velebit Mountains.

This is in addition to our existing work in the Italian Apennines where we are rewilding 100 square metres for every traveller that books an adventure with us. And as always, our expert local guides are continuing to find new ways of supporting local businesses across our destination communities (p18).

We’re also excited to include a brand-new collection of Premium Adventures, which have all the quality of our highly-rated Exodus trips, but with the added extra of unique and premium accommodation in incredible places, and expert-named leaders (p10). On our new trips, you can enjoy hot air balloon rides above Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys, overnight stays at a luxury camp in the Wadi Rum desert and jungle retreats with thermal pools in Costa Rica.

Not only are our adventures rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot, but we’ve also been named 2021’s Best Tour Operator by National Geographic Traveller Magazine, so you can rest assured that you’re travelling with an awardwinning tour operator you can trust.

So, begin your journey today and book an incredible and unique adventure with Exodus, Your Guide to the World.

ADVENTURE Inspiring

Since 1974

Almost 50 years ago, we took a group of adventurers to the Minaret of Jam in the heart of Afghanistan on the back of our Bedford truck on a mission to see the world for ourselves. It was the first Exodus trip, a chance to venture into the unknown with fellow explorers, to meet people along the way who could share perspectives different to our own, and to see the diverse destinations that they called home.

Four decades on, our expert guides still look forward to welcoming you and your fellow explorers to discover

the world around us and have been working closely with our local partners to ensure our trips continue to offer a real spirit of adventure while travelling safely.

Since our first trip back in 1974, our passion for travel, culture and discovery has only grown. So too have the friendships forged with those that warmly welcome us. As we support local communities that we visit, we continue to immerse ourselves in the sights, sounds, tastes and experiences of their wonderful homelands. Come and see for yourself on an Exodus adventure.

“ We have had 12 tours with Exodus and never been disappointed. Always a small group, always an excellent guide and always well organised.”

A ldo Kane DEEP INTO THE DELTA

As a world record setting adventurer, Aldo Kane has explored some of the world’s most extreme and remote locations. During this time, he not only became passionate about shining a spotlight on the local people and unique environments he saw on his journeys, but he also wanted to highlight that we, as adventurers, can give back to the communities and places we visit. And it’s because of this vision and Aldo’s outstanding knowledge that we’re thrilled to welcome him as our Brand Ambassador.

THE OKAVANGO DELTA

Recently, Aldo joined us on a low-impact expedition across the spectacular Okavango Delta waterways in northwest Botswana to witness the skills and expertise of local Mokoro polers. Venturing out on dug-out traditional Mokoro canoes, Aldo’s expedition spanned 250km over 10 days in order to gain a deeper understanding of the Bayei people who live and work in the Okavango Delta waterways.

After speaking to the polers en route, it’s clear that two years on, people living in

the Okavango Delta are still feeling the effects of the pandemic which devastated the Botswana tourism industry and the local economy. Boasting vast areas of unspoilt wetlands and wilderness, the delta is home to some of the continent’s most fascinating creatures, including African bush elephants, hippopotamus and White Rhinoceros, that bring many visitors to the region. However, after long periods of travel restrictions and repeated lockdowns, the much-needed income generated from responsible tourism halted which resulted in many locals struggling to make a living. The lack of tourism funding also had a knock-on effect on wildlife conservation projects in the area, which threatens to undo the huge progress that has been made towards

tackling poaching. But, there is a way you can help to turn the tide in the Okavango Delta, by supporting local communities and heading out on a low-impact adventure, that’s run responsibly. Aldo has organised expeditions for years, so he understands more than most, the importance of local expertise in harsh environments. And after witnessing the skilled operators we work with in the Okavango, who respect the waterways and work in harmony with the surrounding wildlife he believes this is the best way to explore while giving back to the local economy. Keep a look out for our documentary on Aldo Kane’s expedition as he uncovers unique insight into what life is like on the Okavango Delta, and how responsible travel can be an instigator for change.

I’m incredibly excited to partner with award-winning, adventure travel specialist, Exodus Travels. Having returned from an epic expedition in Botswana, it was clear to see they really are experts in what they do and have the most knowledgeable local guides. That, coupled with how much pride they take in ensuring their sustainable adventures give back far more to this planet than they take, makes this partnership a natural choice for me.”

ALDO KANE EXODUS BRAND AMBASSADOR

Aldo Kane, avid explorer, producer and fellow at the Royal Geographic Society, doesn’t do adventures in half measures. Embarking on expeditions to some of the most far-flung corners of the planet, he’s abseiled into the crater of an active volcano, fended off a charging rhino, and completed an epic transatlantic row from Portugal to Venezuela that landed him into the world record books.

THE Aldo Kane TOUR COLLECTION

We’ve asked Aldo to hand-pick some of his favourite Exodus Travels trips that are guaranteed to inspire some trailblazing adventures of your own.

ATLAS DESCENT, MOROCCO WITH ALDO KANE

This trip combines my two favourite pastimes: biking and being in the mountains. With hairpin bends and singletrack routes, it has the best mountain biking trails in the world. Also, my son’s name is “Atlas”, so this adventure called out for me to lead a special departure in 2023.

Over half of our customers choose to travel solo – and why not? A big part of the Exodus Travels’ experience is meeting and exploring with like-minded travellers. Take a look below to discover the reasons why it’s one of our most popular ways to travel.

Going guided means you’ll benefit from your leader’s insider knowledge of the region, exploring hidden spots off the tourist trail that only a local would know how to find. Your guide also takes control of the trip logistics and acts as a host to ensure there’s always a relaxed, sociable group dynamic.

Exceptional! After decades of solo travel, doing it all myself, this was a game changer being with a small group... I like my space a lot, yet everyone was so authentic, like minded.

En route, Sukman loves introducing his visitors to traditional Newari foods. His favourite moment of the trip “has to be the stop we make at Gyaru village. It feels as if you are in heaven looking across at the Annapurna mountains – the only sound you’ll hear is prayer flags wafting in the wind.”.

PEOPLE PLACES & PLANET

OUR MISSION is to improve life through travel — for the places we visit, people we meet, and the planet we explore. We want to ensure that travelling the Exodus way creates a force for good, as we use the expertise of our operator partners and inspirational local guides to improve life in hard-to-reach places.

Last year we set a goal to become Nature Net Positive by 2024 – to ensure that we not only reduce any negative impacts on natural ecosystems, but proactively seek to support nature’s restoration and regeneration. To learn more about how we are doing this, and our Nature First commitment please visit exodustravels.com/nature-first

Our partnership with Rewilding Europe is an exciting way in which we are pursuing our Nature First goals. Read on to find out more about this innovative project, plus updates on a selection of our community and conservation projects led by the Exodus Travels Foundation.

KENYA Free to Roam Project

In 2021 alone, over 1,693 elephants were driven out of small-scale farmlands in the Tsavo National Park due to human-wildlife conflict. To reduce conflict and encourage a more harmonious co-existence between wildlife and the community, Exodus is supporting ‘The Free to Roam Project’ in partnership with Tsavo Trust and Tofauti Foundation. The 10% fence plan aims to fence off 10% of individuals’ land, leaving the remaining 90% for wildlife to roam. So far, 18 community members from the Kamungi Conservancy have received permaculture training to better enable sustainable farming on the newly fenced land.

Rewilding projects

Partnering with Rewilding Europe in 2021, we co-launched the Nature and Carbon Corridors Project to rewild 5,000 hectares in the Italian Apennines over the next 5 years. Once rewilded, these regenerated habitats will connect the surrounding National Parks to allow safe passage of wildlife, including the endangered Marsican brown bears. And this year, we’re excited to extend our support for Rewilding Europe’s vital conservation work to help create new wildlife corridors in Croatia’s Velebit Mountains, so Balkan chamois, wolf and Eurasian lynx can thrive.

As part of our Community Kickstart Project, we aim to work with our global partners to empower local communities. And in Bukit Lawang, Indonesia, our tour leader, Elly, has helped bring her community together by establishing the ‘Eco-brick Building Initiative’. Locals have been collecting plastic waste to craft into bricks for building an eco-cafe. This venue will not only generate much-needed income from tourism, but it will also house an organic vegetable garden and encourage all kinds of community activity, such as cooking classes, traditional dance, environmental education and English lessons.

Back in 2020, our expert wildlife guide and avid conservationist, Paul Goldstein, set a goal to raise 111,000 USD to support conservation of endangered Bengal tigers, by completing the London, Brighton and finally, Everest Marathons in his iconic 14ft Tiger Suit. And in May this year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our Exodus community, he hit his fundraising target and crossed the finishing line! The money raised is supporting the renovation of two schools on the boundaries of Bandhavgarh National Park and the modification of cattle sheds in the surrounding villages, along with swapping wood-based cookstoves for energy efficient smart stoves in an effort to reduce forest clearing which is a major threat to the tiger habitat.

PHIL AND BRENDA MORAN Exodus Adventurers

From the ancient lost city of Machu Picchu and the pre-Columbian Nazca Lines to the floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca, no one can deny that Peru is a country full of rich wonders to discover. Read on to find out what our Exodus customers, Phil and Brenda Moran, enjoyed most on their recent adventure in the ‘Land of the Incas’.

Getting to Machu Picchu is an adventure in itself. In the early morning, the group set off from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes town by train and were met with breathtaking views of glaciated Andean peaks through the train car skylight. The short bus journey that followed, took the travellers on steep climbs and thrilling twists as the road circles around the near-vertical mountain ridge that’s saddled between the two sharp peaks of Machu Picchu (“Old Peak”) and Huayna Picchu (“New Peak”). When we asked the couple what their top highlight of the trip was, they were quick to comment, “It was without a doubt, Machu Picchu. The scenic train ride and bus trip only added to the build-up of catching that first glimpse of Machu Picchu perched above the Urubamba River Valley. The actual guided tour was amazing, and we had perfect weather for it. The films and photos don’t do it justice.”

In addition to visiting one of the world’s seven wonders, Phil, an avid hiker, and former hang glider, was keen to book two tickets on the optional flight over the Nazca Lines. “The flight itself was excellent. Not only did we get clear visibility of the geoglyphs and the Andes from a bird’s eye view, but we also got to hear about the legends behind the lines from our pilot.”

They also touched on wildlife sightings. Spotting Andean Condors circling in Colca Canyon and Giant hummingbirds in Amantani Island, Phil and Brenda also saw a host of fascinating animals during a boat tour of the Ballestas Islands. Boasting the highest concentration of marine birds in the world, Brenda said they photographed, “Terns, cormorants, Peruvian blue-footed boobies, pelicans and penguins.” She continued, “Across the vast and varied country of Peru, our expert guide, Holger, stopped when there was anything of interest”, which

sometimes included large, curious herds of llamas, alpacas, and sacred vicuñas high in the Andes.

The couple mentioned that June was a perfect month for travellers to visit. “The weather was great, and the timing of the itinerary also gave us the opportunity to see preparations for the Festival of the Sun (Inti Raymi) and the procession for Corpus Christi in the Plaza de Armas in Cuzco.” Alongside the colourful street parades and religious processions, the overnight homestay on rural Amantani Island allowed the group to delve further into the Peruvian culture. “We got to eat with a local family in their longestablished community and were also fortunate to meet the mayor to hear more about how people on the island lived – it was fascinating.”

Commenting on the benefits of travelling in a guided group, Brenda mentioned that her expert leader, Holger, “gave us a unique local insight and answered any questions we had.” When he wasn’t chatting about Peru’s local history and folklore, Holger liked to stop and get the group local treats, to break up bus journeys, like sweet granadilla fruit and large loaves of Pan Chuta, a traditional Cuzco speciality. Brenda elaborated further and said, “He also took us to lots of unexpected places, including a desert oasis south of Paracas, and a Peruvian wine and pisco tasting in a vineyard just outside Ica.” As the trip came to a close, the group gathered on a rooftop bar at sunset with uninterrupted volcano views of El Misti and the Basilica Cathedral of Arequipa – the perfect end to an incredible adventure in South America

We’re continually searching for unbridled, jaw-dropping moments to get you one step closer to that trip of a lifetime.

>>> REACH NEW HEIGHTS

Make this year the year you tackle some of the world’s most challenging climbs. With exhilarating uphill ascents and rock scrambling guaranteed en route, there’s nothing more rewarding than reaching the summit. So why not follow our lesser-trekked Lemosho Route to the top of Kilimanjaro? Moving through the southern icefields of Kibo and the wild Shira Plateau, get ready to stand on the ‘Roof of Africa’ when you see the Uhuru Peak sign. Or test your stamina by trekking to the iconic Everest Base Camp. After passing hilltop monasteries and Sherpa country, you can climb even higher to Kala Pattar (5545m) for unobstructed views of the highest mountain on Earth.

>>> INTO THE WILD

For unrivalled and diverse wildlife viewing, few destinations in the world come close to the equatorial rainforests of Borneo. On this exotic trip, you’ll enjoy cruising along the Kinabatangan River in search of Proboscis monkeys, Asian pygmy elephants, and long-tailed macaques. With visits to the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary and Sun Bear Conservation Centre, you’ll also get a second opportunity to view these incredible creatures in the wild in Danum Valley. Between the lush canopy walkways and tropical waterfalls, you may even be able to spot flying frogs and clouded leopards. And when it comes to viewing wildlife under the water, there’s a chance you’ll see schools of parrotfish and clownfish while snorkelling off the coast of Kota Kinabalu.

Or your ideal trip of a lifetime could take you to the rolling grasslands and forests in Africa. The highlight of this incredible camping trip is undoubtedly the hour you spend visiting the rare Mountain gorillas in the misty peaks of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. With your expert wildlife guides in tow, rest assured you’ll head off-grid to lock eyes with the world’s largest primate. But that’s not the only wildlife you’ll encounter. Lake Nakuru and Queen Elizabeth’s National Parks, offer opportunities to see flocks of flamingos, Black and White Rhinos and the largest concentration of hippos on the planet along the Kazinga Channel.

>>> THE LAND OF THE ASCENDING DRAGON

Discover Vietnam’s diverse landscapes on two wheels, cycling past remote fishing villages along the coast and coffee plantations in the Central Highlands. Riding across Nhon Hoi Bridge, the longest sea bridge in Vietnam, your route also traverses over the spectacular Hai Van Pass - the ‘Pass of the Ocean Clouds’ - but it’s not all about the bike. With visits to the fascinating ruins of Hue’s Forbidden Purple City, the Cu Chi war tunnels on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh and the lanterned-lined streets of Hoi An, you’ll also have the opportunity to kayak among the spectacular limestone peaks in Halong Bay.

Cycling Vietnam

>>> TREASURES ALONG THE SILK ROAD

The scope for exploration across the five former Soviet republics in Central Asia is boundless. With expansive rolling steppe, ornate mosques and grand post-Soviet monuments to discover, our trip across the Five Stans brings out the nomadic adventurer in you, as it did for the worldly travellers, merchants and missionaries who ventured along the Silk Road’s ancient trade routes centuries before.

With visits to the Ertuğrul Gazi Mosque in Ashgabat, the Persian-era fortress of Nisa and one of the world’s greatest squares, Registan Square in Samarkand, you’ll also see the peculiar burning Darvaza gas crater, known as ‘the door to hell’.

The Mongol Empire also played a significant role in the history of the Silk Road, by opening trade from East to West. On our Mongolian adventure, you can immerse yourself in one of the world’s last remaining nomadic customs and discover the remote Mongolian steppe like a local by sleeping in a traditional-style ger camp. Steeped in legends of the ruthless Mongol warlord Genghis Khan, this stark desert also lays claim to the first intact dinosaur egg discovery. With visits to the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire Karakorum; the singing Khongoryn Els sand dunes and hikes around the Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag, this truly is a trip of a lifetime.

ACTIVITY LEVELS

All of our trips feature Activity Level icons as guides to the type of itinerary and level of challenge you can expect to encounter while travelling on our holidays. The information below explains what each activity level means, so you can make sure you find the right trip for you.

Designed for people who are in good health, enjoy the outdoors and want a relaxing trip packed with interest.

WILDLIFE RATINGS

In addition to the activity level, each Wildlife trip has also been classified with a grade of three, four or five ‘paw marks’ to help you find the right trip

Designed for people with a general interest in wildlife, but who also want to experience some of the other highlights of the region or country.

LEISURELY

Requires a spirit of adventure and some fitness, as the trip may involve more activities or longer journeys.

In order to provide more accuracy, where a trip falls between two grades we use an intermediate or ‘split’ grade – for example, Level 2 (Leisurely/Moderate).

A more dedicated wildlife itinerary where the majority of time is spent in wildlife rich areas such as national parks or nature reserves.

A wholly focused wildlife trip where every aspect – vehicle, accommodation, and guide are geared up to immerse you in, and educate you about the local fauna.

LEGENDARY EXPEDITIONS

Follow in the footsteps of past Arctic explorers like Sir John Franklin and retrace his historic journey across the Northwest Passage.

INUIT PASTIMES

Our adventures in the Canadian Arctic allows travellers to visit local communities, like Pangnirtung, (Pang), whose residents still practise ancient Inuit arts and craft making including lithographic prints and intricate hand-woven tapestries.

CANADA

UNDER THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

Widely known as one of nature’s best light displays, the Aurora Borealis occurs as a result of the sun’s energised particles colliding with the earth’s atmosphere. Plan your visit between September and March to increase your chances of catching Greenland’s phenomenal show of green and white lights.

GREENLAND

RUMBLING ICE FJORDS

Visit Greenland’s greatest attraction, the Ilulissat Icefjord, where you’ll find the world’s fastest glacier, Sermeq Kujalleq, which moves up to 40 metres a day.

EDGE OF THE WORLD TOWNS

Coined the “remotest inhabited community in the western hemisphere”, a visit to the colourful town of Ittoqqortoormiit offers a fascinating insight into local life and an area that was once home to a dense population of Greenlandic Inuit.

ICELAND

BIRDWATCHING IN THE WESTFJORDS

The Látrabjarg Sea Cliffs are undoubtedly one of the world’s best birdwatching locations. In this 7-mile stretch, an estimated 5 million birds nest here in the summer, including Atlantic Puffins, Guillemots and Razorbills.

QAJAQ

Standing for “a long miniature boat” in Greenlandic, it was invented about 4,400 years ago by ancient Greenlandic Inuits, for fishing, whaling and sealing. Similar-shaped kayaks are used today by locals and visitors alike for a unique and beautiful vantage point of the Arctic.

The Arctic YOUR GUIDE TO

LIFE IN LONGYEARBYEN

This small coal-mining town is known to most as the world’s northernmost settlement and a portal to sub-polar expeditions. It’s also the unlikely home to Europe’s largest critically acclaimed wine cellar!

SVALBARD

MARBLE WONDERS

You’ll find rare stone spheres on Champ Island in Franz Josef Land. Geologists claim that this fascinating phenomenon occurred from a chemical reaction between minerals and organic materials, creating near-perfect spheres scattered across the coast.

LAND OF THE ICE BEAR

Many may not know that a Polar bear’s skin is, in fact, black. With no white pigment and hollow hairs, the sun bounces off the coat making it appear white. To spot these incredible creatures in the wild visit Spitsbergen in June or July.

RUSSIA

VOLCANIC LANDSCAPES

A haven for birdwatchers and fell walkers, the Faroe Islands are perfect for spotting storm petrels, puffins and their national bird, oystercatchers.

ARCTIC CIRCLE

ICONIC ARCTIC ANIMALS

Home to an incredible array of wildlife, the Arctic is one of the most diverse habitats on the planet. These are the kind of creatures you may spot on our trips:

Situated at the northernmost part of the Earth, the Arctic offers an adventure like no other. Sail the Arctic waters to discover the magic

Antarctica YOUR GUIDE TO

Summer may range from November to April, but depending on what time of the year you choose to visit Antarctica, the weather, wildlife sightings and conditions of the land may vary dramatically from month to month. So it’s important to know what you’d like to experience before you go, so you can pick the best time for a unique adventure that ticks everything on your bucket list.

CHILE

ARGENTINA

FALKLAND ISLANDS: A BIRDER’S PARADISE Penguins may be at the top of your watchlist, but there are plenty of other show-stopping birds to see, including the Southern giant petrel, Steamer ducks and the Black-browed albatross.

CROSSING THE DRAKE PASSAGE

Stretching over 1,300km from South America’s Cape Horn in Chile to the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica, this remains a memorable passage for many polar explorers. On rough seas, the passage is nicknamed “Drake Shake”, while on calmer days it’s called “Drake Lake”.

PassageDrake

WATCH WHALES IN THE WILD

The best time to see Humpback whales breach and dive in Antarctica is from MID-DECEMBER to

This is thanks to warmer waters and seasonal feeding patterns, giving them more energy for play.

MILESTONE CROSSINGS

There’s nothing like the rush of adrenaline when you cross south of the equator to 66°33’45.9 - the Antarctic Circle. It’s an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

SUMMER OF LOVE

From NOVEMBER to MID-DECEMBER

you can see penguin courtship rituals (bowing and preening) on the Antarctic Peninsula. Male Gentoo Penguins even present the females with a nicely carved rock in an effort to woo.

ANTARCTICPENINSULA

NOV 1915–APR 1916 A turning point in the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition where Shackleton and his crew row on lifeboats to Elephant island and leave some crew members behind.

NESTLINGS

Known as baby chicks, the best time to catch them is from MID-DECEMBER to MID-FEBRUARY. Keep an eye out for chicks that hatch in sprawling rockeries.

FALKLAND ISLANDS (Islas Malvinas)

APR–MAY 1916

5 crew members and Shackleton make the dangerous journey back from Georgia, rowing by boat to help Sailors stranded on Elephant Island.

BLANKETS OF SNOW

Visit Antarctica when it’s at its most pristine from NOVEMBER to MID-DECEMBER, when snow-capped mountain peaks and endless panoramas of untouched white wilderness await.

COBALT BLUE ICEBERGS

Plan your visit between MID-DECEMBER to MID-FEBRUARY when the salt water and sun transform the landscape with piercing blue icebergs.

SLIDING GLACIERS

Watch in awe as giant, towering glaciers disappear into the icy waters at the end of summer, between MID-FEBRUARY to LATE MARCH.

SLEEP UNDER THE STARS IN THE ANTARCTIC

Enjoy an unforgettable night outdoors in a bivy sac on the Antarctic Peninsula, where the only sounds you’ll hear are the crashing waves and per haps the exhalations of a pod of Humpback whales. Temperatures are at their warmest from MID-NOVEMBER to MID-JANUARY

NOV 21, 1915

Shackleton’s Endurance ship sinks in the Weddell Sea after being encased in an ice floe.

GALAPAGOS OF THE POLES

As your ship approaches South Georgia, don’t forget to look up, as the skies are full of swooping Albatross and Pintado petrels.

KINGS OF THE ANTARCTIC Boasting the largest King penguin colonies in the world, you won’t find a better place than the Salisbury Plains in South Georgia to capture the 50,000-strong colony on film.

SOUTH GEORGIA

DEC 5, 1914 Irish explorer Shackleton sets off on the Endurance from Grytviken Whaling Station in South Georgia.

IN MEMORY OF SHACKLETON

Honour Shackleton’s extraordinary Polar voyage with a visit to his burial site at the whaling station in Grytviken on South Georgia Island.

SMALL SHIPS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

The key to really making the most of your time in Polar waters is to ensure maximum shore and zodiac time. Ships with more than 200 passengers often find their landing sites are limited, and the logistics of disembarking the ship’s complement into zodiacs can be slow. Our small expedition ships generally offer twice daily ‘offship’ activities – both morning and afternoon – with waiting time being almost non-existent.

CYCLING

Our cycling holidays come in all shapes and sizes, from gentle tours along the Portuguese coast, to a fully supported expedition in Morocco’s High Atlas mountains. On two wheels you can fully engage with your surroundings and really immerse yourself in a destination, and nothing beats the satisfaction of exploring a country under your own steam.

ACTIVITY LEVELS

We’ve worked hard to give you a practical guide to what you can expect from each trip. We take into account factors such as gradient, length of the cycling day and road (or off road!) conditions. We also consider the number of cycling days, as there can be a cumulative effect from tiredness on a longer trip.

If you want to push yourself, we can provide the challenge, but many of our cycling holidays are exactly that – holidays. The activity level dial is your at a glance check. For more information please visit exodustravels.com/activitylevels#cycle

If you can ride a bike and enjoy gentle exercise, these trips are an ideal introduction to a cycling holiday. No routes are entirely flat, so expect some short climbs and descents.

Most people who enjoy a weekend riding at home will enjoy a Moderate trip. You need to be in good health and reasonably fit. Ideal for occasional cyclists, or as a more relaxed trip for fitter riders.

Challenging trips require confidence in your ability and physical condition. They are equivalent to an extended period of cycling at home.

Previous experience of the cycling style or surface is a must, as these routes have long cycling days and tougher terrain on both on-road and off-road trips.

In order to provide more accuracy, where a trip falls between two grades we use an intermediate or ‘split’ grade – for example, Level 2 (Leisurely/Moderate).

GRADES

SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT

On the majority of our group cycling trips, a support vehicle accompanies the riders. These carry tools, refreshments, and even (if you’re tired) you! This allows people of different fitness levels to enjoy the same trip. On many trips you can also choose to hire an e-bike – these are regular bicycles with a battery-powered ‘pedal assist’ to give you a boost when you need it and helping you cruise over tougher terrain. Look at the ‘At a glance’ section of the trip information to see if this option is available.

KEY BOOKING INFORMATION

Having chosen the holiday you are interested in, below is some information which you may find useful in relation to your booking and holiday. Details correct at time of publication, please call or go online to check up-to-date booking conditions: www.exodustravels.com/about-exodus/ exodus-booking-conditions

1. Refer to the Trip Notes

The Trip Notes form part of our contract with you and they contain the most up-to-date information about the holiday, including details about the itinerary, inclusions and exclusions. Please download and take the latest version of the Trip Notes with you on your holiday.

2. About the trip

Is this trip for you?

We aim to provide detailed and accurate information in our documentation so that clients can assess their own suitability and fitness for a specific trip. We ask that you satisfy yourself prior to booking that you are able to complete the itinerary as described in the Trip Notes. All our trips feature Activity Level icons as guides to the type of itinerary and the level of challenge the trip will involve. An explanation of each Activity Level can be found at www.exodustravels.com/activity-levels. Please let your adventure specialist know during the booking process if you have concerns or queries about any aspects of the itinerary.

Participation

We ask our clients to always abide by the authority of the tour leader. There is an agreement in place between Exodus and our tour leaders, allowing them to exclude any client from part or all of a trip if it unfortunately becomes apparent that they cannot manage particular elements of a trip or are likely to put either themselves or other people at risk. It is, however, not a decision that is reached lightly or that is made frequently.

Pre-existing medical conditions

We ask you to let us know of any pre-existing conditions, illnesses, disabilities or recent surgeries which may affect your safety or other people’s enjoyment of the holiday. Please email info@exodustravels.com to make us aware of any pre-existing medical conditions. Our Trip Notes provide information on whether a particular holiday is considered to be suitable for a person with reduced mobility. There is no upper age limit on our tours, but as most holidays are quite active, we may ask clients over the age of 80 a number of questions about their health and fitness. We also require you to advise us of any dietary requirements in advance of a tour.

Accommodation

Our prices are based on twin-share accommodation which means that if you book on your own, we will arrange for you to share with a person of the same gender as per the information given to Exodus at the time of booking. We ask you to satisfy yourself that you do not have any conditions or preferences which may preclude you from sharing a room, and that you speak to your adventure specialist if you would like to enquire about a single supplement.

Key information to help you prepare Important trip documentation will be provided during the booking process and prior to your holiday. If you have any queries or notice any inaccuracies, please contact Exodus as soon as possible.

We are able to provide basic advice to clients regarding passports, visa and entry requirements, but you should check with the appropriate embassy, consulate or the U.S. Department of State Travel Resources for the exact requirements for your chosen

tour and date of travel. U.S. Nationals require a full passport which is valid for six months after the date of your scheduled return home. The Trip Notes for each holiday provide more detailed information on visa requirements.

We recommend that you contact your Medical Professional or a Travel Health Clinic for information about vaccinations or specific health risks in the area to which you are travelling. Please see the Practical Information section of the Trip Notes for information relating to vaccinations for your specific tour.

The Trip Notes also include information about packing suggestions and essential items that we recommend you bring on your holiday.

Risks of adventure travel

Whilst we ensure that all activities are operated to the local legal standard and that risk assessments are carried out annually, many of our holidays do carry an element of risk.

On many of our tours, the areas are remote and events far less predictable than on a conventional holiday. Health, safety and operational standards, particularly of hotels and transport, are often not up to the levels we experience at home. We require that all the properties and transport we use comply fully with local regulations, but we do not guarantee the same standards as in your home country. If you choose to travel on this type of holiday, you must be prepared to accept that this is all part of the experience.

Adverse weather conditions, political situations and a host of other uncontrollable factors can mean a change in itinerary. Outdoor activities are weather dependent to an extent and some can become dangerous in certain conditions. If the leader feels there is any heightened level of risk involved in an activity, they may amend or cancel it as they see fit.

It is unlikely that an itinerary would be substantially altered, but if changes are necessary, we will make the best possible alternative arrangements which maintain the integrity of the original itinerary. We will do everything we can to minimise the effect, but we cannot be held responsible for the impact of changes outside our control.

Crime and other security risks exist in all countries and while travelling in a group is a safeguard, it is not a guarantee of safety. We will take all reasonable care of you and expect that you will take sensible precautions yourself.

Transfers

Upon arrival at your destination, airport transfers will be at an additional cost (unless shown in your documentation as a free transfer); please ask your adventure specialist for details. Services start and end at the local joining point detailed in the Trip Notes, brochure and website.

3. How to book

If you would like to make a booking you can contact us in several ways: directly over the telephone (1 844 227 9087), by email using info@exodustravels.com, via our website www.exodustravels.com and the Live Chat function on our website, or through an approved travel agent.

Travel insurance

Adequate and valid travel insurance for your chosen itinerary is compulsory for all travellers and it is a condition of accepting your booking that you agree you will have obtained adequate and valid travel insurance. We recommend you take out insurance as soon as your booking is confirmed.

4. Payment, cancellations and changes

Unless stated otherwise during the booking process or in the full terms and conditions, the following applies:

Deposit

You will be asked to pay a deposit at the time of booking of at least 25% per person of your selected travel arrangements (minimum $500 USD per person

or equivalent). You may also be required to pay on booking for any non-transferable and non-refundable items; your adventure specialist will advise you of this during the booking process. Please note that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the deposit may be higher than those shown.

Final balance

We will invoice you for the remainder of the cost of your holiday, which must be paid prior to 90 days before departure. In certain cases, including Polar holidays, we may request full payment more than 90 days before departure where, for example, airlines require full payment on booking.

Making changes to your trip

Please contact Exodus as soon as possible if you wish to make a change to your existing booking, wish to change to a different tour or wish to change departure date. We will always endeavour to assist with the requested change, but this is subject to availability and payment may need to be made for non-refundable costs (for example from airlines) and other fees may also be applicable, including a $60 USD administration charge.

Cancellation conditions

You may cancel your tour at any time by providing written communication from the lead booker. As we start to incur costs from the time the contract is confirmed we will retain your deposit and will apply other cancellation charges as shown below. Please note, however, that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the cancellation charge may be higher than those shown; please ask your sales consultant for full details of cancellation charges at time of booking.

If we change or cancel your booking

We plan the arrangements for your tour many months in advance and may occasionally have to make changes, most of which are minor. When a major change (as outlined in the full terms and conditions on our website) occurs, you will have the choice of either:

a) accepting the change; or

b) accepting a replacement tour from us of equivalent or similar standard and price (at the date of the change), if we are able to offer you one; or

c) cancelling your tour, in which case you shall receive a full refund of all monies paid.

Most of our trips are group holidays and require a certain number of participants to operate; we include details of normal group sizes in the Trip Notes and on our website. In the unlikely event that a trip does not reach the normal minimum, we may be forced to cancel the tour; a decision will be made as early as possible and not later than 20 days before departure. We reserve the right to confirm trips on numbers lower than the minimum indicated and occasionally we may exceed the normal maximum. If at the time of booking your trip is not guaranteed, we strongly recommend that you do not make any non-refundable or nonchangeable travel arrangements.
