Passport, visa and health requirements	The passport, visa and health requirements (including those related to COVID-19) at the time of booking can be viewed on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements, before you travel.

Price changes	Please note that the flights included in this offer are subject to live availability and price, and can change during your booking process. When this is the case, we will always notify during the booking process.
Cancellation terms and conditions	Please note that if it's 29 days or more before your departure date, the cancellation fee will be 30% of the cost of the holiday (or loss of full deposit if greater). If it's 28 days or fewer before your departure date, the cancellation fee will be 100% of the cost of the holiday.
Tipping and gratuities	Tipping is not mandatory, but generally expected because most of the service providers appreciate it as an incentive for the quality of service delivered. There is an official 10% service tax, normally charged in restaurants, bars, hotels and the majority of services. However, for guides, drivers, and people related in tourism, this tip is not considered. Therefore, AJ suggestions are the following. In most cases, a tip of $10 US dollars is accepted for your AJ guide in Mainland Ecuador and $5 for your driver; however, these rates can vary when talking about the Galapagos since life in the Islands is much more expensive. In this case, we recommend a range of $10 for your naturalistic guide and $15 for your AJ trip leader. Kindly note that these ranges are per person, per day.
