What is a Backpacker Trip?

Imagen

If you are looking for 4 or 5 star packages, then you are best off looking to another company for tours, our tours are for backpackers and budget travellers!!!

Our 'Backpacker Tours' aim to make your cash stretch as far as possible. We supplying you with excellent adventures, a wide choice of destinations and short itineraries; perfect for those with-out the luxury of ample time, and who do not wish to spend the big tour prices otherwise on offer. These aren't for those who like to be pampered; they are for people who like backpacking, staying in hostels, and don't mind roughing it a bit to get the real travel experiences.

Some 'backpacker tours' include food, some do not; some might be guided tours, others self-guided tours; many will have basic accommodation supplied, while others allow you to select where you stay. There is no standard rule to a 'backpacker tour', they just have a commonality that they are for budget travel and involve great adventures in awesome locations.

Terms & Conditions

Terms and conditions may vary with a backpacker tour, and are in-line with the terms and conditions of our local operators. For conditions such as date changes to your tour, you have to look at the special conditions listed in the information section of that particular tour on our website. If not listed then they are covered under the general terms and conditions of the Green Toad Bus.

All 'Backpacker Tours' have daily departures, unless expressed otherwise in the tour details.
