I'm a single traveller, will I be charged a single supplement?

Most of our trips offer a single supplement and if you are travelling on your own, you can request a shared room option. Then you will be sharing a room with another Baltic Nature Travel traveller of the same sex. Some tours have an optional single supplement and some a mandatory single supplement. Please check the tour description.

We don’t have an age restriction on our tours but keep in mind that basic physical conditions are required to take part in hiking, biking, and kayaking tours.

How many people can join a tour?

We keep our group sizes low so you have the freedom to move around and get involved with your surroundings, as well as more personal attention from our local guides. This intimate size ensures that your group will not crowd your experience. You can expect up to 15 travelers on a trip but the average is 10. Check individual trip pages for maximum group sizes.

Do I need insurance?

The basic insurance is required. The amount of the insurance policy that covers medical costs and repatriation must be for one person at least 75 000 EUR. If you do not already have coverage please send us a request  and we can arrange this for you.

Is availability guaranteed when I book online?

The availability listed on our website is updated regularly, however, on some tours we must confirm arrangements with our local operations on the ground, a process which usually takes no more than 24 to 72 hours. When you book online you will receive a follow-up email confirming your arrangements or a timeframe for when they will be confirmed. We strongly recommend that you do not make any other non-refundable travel arrangements until you receive confirmation that your space has been held.

What type of ground transportation is used on your tours?

Is tipping included?

All the gratitudes are built in the included features of your vocation with the exception of those of your Tour Leader and Driver. It is customary to express a personal “thank you” to your Baltic Nature Travel Tour Leader at the end of your trip, especially if he or she has provided you with excellent service or individual assistance. We recommend 10 – 15 EUR per person for each day of your trip for each Tour Leader.
