Friends Across Borders (Pen Pals*)

Your journey is just around the corner. Before you go, join our Friends Across Borders Program and write to a pen pal in the Azores. We’ll pair your child up with a similar aged child and then schedule a memorable meeting.

*Check with your trip manager to confirm that pen pals are offered on your departure. 


Passport Information

Passports should be valid with at least 6 months validity after the end of your trip. If you need to have it renewed please allow sufficient time. U.S. citizens may refer to www.state.gov or the applicable foreign consulate for further details if you need more information.


Need Help Purchasing Flights?

We work with a third party ticketing agency called Exito. Contact your trip manager to get started.


Don’t Forget to Purchase Travel Insurance

Incredible wildlife, amazing food, gripping sights – the wilds of any adventure can be filled with surprises! But not every surprise is a welcome one, and some can creep up before you ever set foot on the plane. That’s why we ask our guests to consider travel insurance.
