Small group travel
Travelling in a small group of people gives you lots of freedom and flexibility - much like going on a trip with friends. The friendships that you make with your fellow Suntrekkers are the kind that could last a lifetime. Suntrek tours are ideal for single travellers, because travelling in a group offers more security and fun than travelling on your own. In fact, the majority of Suntrekkers are young, single travellers.
All tours offer terrific value for independent-minded budget travellers, looking to explore 'off the beaten track'. Suntrek tours open up a diverse continent - whether on the highway, or a barely maneuverable dirt road - you’ll see every sight worth seeing!
Booking information
We recommend that you book your tour as early as possible as Suntrek have limited number of seats available. At the time of the booking, a deposit of US$ 100 is due. The full price must be paid 45 days before departure.
