  • Credit cards and ACH payments are accepted via our online portal for all payments after the initial deposit.

  • Price adjustments related to final tour participant numbers are made 2-3 weeks prior to the final payment deadline. 

Troubleshooting Online Payments

  • Make sure the address entered matches the billing address for your credit card exactly.
  • Debit card users often have a daily spending limit lower than credit cards - call your bank for more information or to request a temporary increase so that you can make a payment.
  • Double-check that your credit card doesn't have a daily spending limit.
  • Paying for multiple travelers? Some credit cards may not allow you to make two identical, high-value charges on the same day. Space out your payments by 24-36 hours if necessary.
