OUR TRAVEL STYLE

Each Border Free Travels x Salt & Wind trip is highly researched and curated with us hand-picking each excursion and travel partner. We want to show you all that we love about a place and introduce you to our local friends so you get an insider's view into the region. 

Here's a few reasons people love traveling with us: 

• Unique Experiences: Many of the experiences in our itineraries are one-of-a-kind and only accessible with Salt & Wind

• Photographer: Each trip has a group photographer providing attendees with 10+ images daily so you can concentrate on the trip and not on your camera.

• Concierge: There is a concierge on hand to help you with anything from extra activities to car service 24/7

• Expert Hosts: Team Salt & Wind has deep knowledge about each area we travel and partners with local experts.

• Planned Itinerary: Our itineraries are planned so that each day has anywhere from 4 to 8 hours of activity. 

• Free Time: That said we always offer some optional activities if you want to do even more and we always squeeze in some downtime so you can relax.

THE NITTY GRITTY

Required Trip Insurance

Please note that trip insurance is required to join us on a Salt & Wind trip. FYI most major credit cards (such as American Express, CHASE Sapphire, and Capital One) offer complimentary insurance when you purchase using their card.

Minimum Attendees

Please note only run trips with 6 or more guests. If a trip has fewer attendees at 45 days before the trip dates, we will cancel the trip. 

ACCOMMODATIONS

We have partnered with boutique hotels that meet the Salt & Wind standards of service. 

Room Options

Double Occupancy

Double occupancy pricing is the price for (1) person to stay in a shared (i.e. double) room. In other words, each person staying in that room will pay the posted double occupancy rate. If you're a couple or friends traveling together, please know that you'll each pay the double occupancy rate. 

Single Occupancy

Need some alone time? We hear you. That's why we offer single occupancy rooms. The single occupancy rate is what you will pay to have the room all to yourself. 

Roommates

If you do not have a travel partner, you can purchase single occupancy room and have it all to yourself! We do not pair up trip attendees because we find there is not enough privacy in the rooms to allow strangers to room together.
