Before you book
A pre-planned group departure. Register interest while we arrange the group, suppliers and final quote.
Group rates are confirmed separately. Private-party brochure estimates are not group-joining prices.
Registration records your interest or request. It does not reserve a paid place. The team prepares your party’s offer; an offered place is held for up to 48 hours. Accept it and complete the agreed booking steps within that hold. Booking confirmation follows the team’s checks.
If the group does not form, the team will discuss a different date, a revised group price or a private trip before you commit.
Pay only through verified Boker invoice instructions. Cancellation and any refund depend on the terms in your accepted offer.
