Frequently Asked Questions
-
We offer pre-packaged (featured) travel, custom (bespoke), and business (corporate) packages; and these can be booked as long-stays, premium, or luxury travel. See here for more information on our travel tiers.
-
Our featured and bespoke trips are all-inclusive, but corporate trips come with a 15% service fee. Our á la carte services however, offer stand-alone pricing.
-
This varies depending upon package type, but in short, featured packages have no fee but rather a percentage of return based upon when the trip is cancelled. Bespoke cancellations have a $50 fee plus the actual cost to cancel with the travel suppliers, and Corporate cancellations are outlined in the specific agreement made between the organization and Life’s Abri’s at the signing of the contract.
-

It depends on both the country being entered as well as the country in which your passport was issued, but generally speaking you’ll require a passport as an absolute minimum, and sometimes a visa as well. We are happy to discuss further upon booking, but please allow yourself time to acquire all applicable documents prior to departure.
-
We have regular business hours, but messaging through Whatsapp as well as our mobile application is the best way to reach us during your trip–even if outside of business hours. For emergencies however, the local emergency services, government embassy, or 24/7 assistance through your travel insurance provider Allianz (if applicable) is best.

Reach out to us and the airline. Furthermore, call travel insurance provider, Allianz, if applicable to you.

It depends on the destination, but flights, trains, chauffeur, ships, and public transportation are all various forms of transportation available on different trips. Please refer to the specific itinerary for more information.
-

-
While adults make up the majority of our clientele, there are currently no trip packages that completely exclude minors, but there are substitutions for optional excursions involving things like vineyards or distilleries that parents or legal guardians may wish to take advantage of depending on the age of the minor (as the drinking age varies from country to country).
-
At Life’s Abri’s, we’ve found that releasing final travel details around 30 days before your trip allows us to provide the most accurate, up-to-date, and organized experience possible. Here’s why:
1. Your Trip is Fully Paid For
Most trips are paid in full by the 30-day mark. This ensures we’re only finalizing plans for confirmed travelers. Releasing full details before final payment could cause confusion—especially if someone decides not to complete their booking.
2. Suppliers and Logistics Can Shift
The months leading up to travel involve coordinating with many moving parts—hotels, transportation providers, tour operators, etc. These details often evolve up to the last minute due to availability, seasonality, or group size changes. A final update at the 30-day mark gives us time to confirm everything on your behalf while avoiding giving you outdated or speculative information.
3. Clarity and Simplicity
To keep things streamlined and avoid information overload, we prefer to send one major, clearly organized update rather than many small, potentially conflicting ones over time. This minimizes the risk of confusion and ensures everyone is aligned on the final version of your trip.
4. We Make Exceptions When Needed
We understand that in some cases, travelers may require certain details sooner—such as a visa applications, immunization scheduling, group that completes payment well in advance, or travelers making independent arrangements that rely on confirmed specifics. In these cases, we’re happy to provide select information earlier on a case-by-case basis. Just reach out, and we’ll do our best to assist.
Rest assured: our team works diligently behind the scenes throughout the planning process, and by the time your 30-day update arrives, you’ll receive a clear, polished version of your itinerary and everything else you’ll need for a smooth journey.
