What’s Included in a Different Travel Adventure?

May 27, 2026

Booking an adventure is exciting, but it’s completely normal to wonder exactly what’s included before you commit. At Different Travel, we believe in being transparent about what you’re paying for and making sure you feel supported from the moment you book to the moment you return home.

Whether you’re trekking through the Sahara, exploring ancient trails in Peru, walking the Camino de Santiago, or taking on a charity challenge overseas, our trips are designed to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on the experience itself.

Here’s a closer look at what’s typically included on a Different Travel adventure.

Expert Planning and Support

When you travel with Different Travel, you’re not just booking flights and accommodation. You’re joining a carefully organised experience backed by an experienced team.

From the moment you book, we help guide you through the process with:

• Dedicated support from our UK office team
• Pre-departure information and trip notes
• Guidance on training, preparation, visas and vaccinations where applicable
• Access to travel apps and important trip documents.

We know that adventure travel can feel daunting, especially if it’s your first time travelling this way, so we’re always on hand to answer questions and help you prepare.

Flights and Transfers

Many Different Travel trips include international flights as part of the package, although this can vary depending on the trip type and departure.

Where flights are included, this will normally cover:

• Return international flights from the UK
• Airport taxes and charges
• Group transfers overseas

On arrival, our local teams are there to help get you where you need to be, taking away the stress of navigating a new destination after a long journey.

Some trips may also offer land-only options for travellers who wish to arrange their own flights.

Accommodation

Accommodation is usually included throughout your trip and varies depending on the destination and style of adventure.

This could include:

• Hotels
• Guesthouses
• Mountain lodges
• Desert camps
• Teahouses
• Homestays

We aim to balance comfort, character and location, while also keeping the experience authentic to the destination you’re visiting.

On trekking and challenge trips, accommodation may sometimes be more basic due to the remote locations involved, but that’s often part of the adventure and experience.

Meals

Most Different Travel trips include a number of meals, particularly during trekking or touring days.

Depending on the itinerary, this may include:

• Breakfasts
• Picnic or trail lunches
• Evening meals
• Celebration dinners

Meals included will always be clearly outlined within your trip itinerary, so you know exactly what to expect before travelling.

We also work closely with local teams to cater for dietary requirements wherever possible.

Experienced Local Guides and Crew

One of the biggest highlights of travelling with Different Travel is the people you meet along the way.

Our trips are supported by experienced local guides, drivers, cooks, and support crews who help bring each destination to life. Their knowledge, encouragement and local insight often become one of the most memorable parts of the trip.

Depending on the challenge, your trip may also include:

• Trek leaders
• Local mountain guides
• Camel handlers
• Porters
• Mechanics and drivers
• Charity representatives
• Different Travel tour managers

Having an experienced support team means you can focus on enjoying the journey while knowing you’re in safe hands.

Safety and Financial Protection

Your safety and peace of mind are incredibly important to us.

Different Travel trips include:

• Financial protection where applicable
• Carefully vetted overseas partners
• Risk assessments and safety procedures
• 24-hour emergency support while overseas

We also provide detailed pre-departure advice, so you know what to expect physically, culturally and practically before you travel.

The Experience Beyond the Itinerary

While flights, hotels and meals are important, what truly makes a Different Travel trip special is the experience itself.

• It’s the friendships formed on the trail.
• The encouragement during challenging moments.
• The laughter around campfires.
• The feeling of achievement at the finish line.
• The moments you simply can’t recreate on a standard holiday.

Many of our travellers join solo and leave with lifelong memories and friendships.

What’s Usually Not Included?

While inclusions vary from trip to trip, there are a few things that are often not included:

• Travel insurance
• Some lunches or dinners
• Personal spending money
• Tips for local guides and crew
• Visas and vaccinations
• Optional excursions

We always recommend reading the full trip itinerary carefully so you know exactly what’s included for your chosen adventure.

Travel Differently

At Different Travel, we believe adventure travel should be meaningful, supportive and unforgettable.

Whether you’re travelling for charity, challenging yourself physically, or simply exploring somewhere new, we aim to create experiences that stay with you long after you return home.
