Plan Your Trip

Good things to know before you go on a Discovery Adventures trip.

Our Discovery Adventures Specialists will take care of all the details of your trip, however some travelers enjoy doing a little research on their own to be ahead of the game. Here are some tips and links to get you started.

  • Passport: Make sure your passport is valid up to 6 months from your return date.
  • Travel Visas: Requirements change frequently and are dependent upon your nationality and your destination. You are responsible for obtaining your own Visas. Check the Plan Your Trip page to determine if a Visa is required for your specific trip.
  • Travel Reports: Most governments have websites dedicated to providing the most up-to-date travel information including recent news and background information on every country. Please visit the US State site for information about your destination and international travel
  • Arrival and Departure taxes/fees: Check your tour confirmation documents and speak with a Discovery Adventure Specialist if you have any questions.
  • Immunizations and travel health issues: Be sure to get the most accurate and up-to-date health information for the region you will be visiting. Check with your general physician or a specialist from your local travel health clinic.
  • Good Health Practices: Adjusting to new climates and cultural conditions can cause some minor complications. This guide will help you stay healthy while you travel.
  • Travel Insurance: Be sure to acquire the necessary travel insurance before your trip. You will not be allowed to participate without showing proof of adequate coverage.
  • Packing Tips: The rule of thumb when packing is to pack once...cut it in half and pack again! Create your own packing list based on your destination, accommodations, weather and tour activities. Leave jewelry at home and keep makeup to a minimum. Travel size toiletries stored in a waterproof kit are recommended. (Please verify weight and carry on restrictions with your airline carrier.)
