There is nothing more important than the health and well-being of our travelers. Your safety is always our priority. To ensure that you have the safest trip possible, we are taking bold steps, starting with a 24/7 Professional Tour Director assigned to your group. In addition, we:
- Increased safety protocol training for all KA staff and tour directors
- Include post-departure travel protection as a gift for each traveler
Our plan is designed to help you travel confidently and safely. As always, you can expect constant communication, coordination, and troubleshooting from your Professional Tour Director, and access to a staffed, 24-hour emergency line during your trip.
If a student becomes ill while traveling, we will follow the district, destination, and supplier protocols to respond. Our expert staff has undergone rigorous training and is prepared to react in emergency situations.
If a student gets sick, be assured that we will work with schools, group leaders, suppliers, and parents to determine a plan of action that keeps all students safe. Our team is an extension of your team!
Again, our job is to handle the difficult situations and coordinate an appropriate response. The KA professionals will work with school districts, group leaders, and others to determine the best course of action for that student and the group.
We will follow the guidelines of the district, transportation company, destination, suppliers, and group leaders to determine if temperature checks are required before or during the trip.
As you plan your adventure, know that COVID-19 has impacted the travel industry dramatically. As a result, your trip price may change. For example, transportation costs may have increased because of physical distancing requirements, or your favorite restaurant may now be closed.
The KA staff is comprised of seasoned professionals who always provide travel beyond expectations. They’ll put KA’s stellar reputation to work to find the best alternatives or solutions for your group. However, this may occasionally mean a price change. Kaleidoscope Adventures will never sacrifice quality or your safety to save a buck.
You can purchase insurance up until the final payment is received by our company. We use an insurance company and specific codes are given for each school. Contact either your group leader organizing the trip or our office for that code. After you have that code you can use it to see the travel insurance options on our affiliate’s site (Travel Insured).
Generally, hotel check-in is either late afternoon or in the evening of your arrival date. If you have a morning or afternoon arrival to your destination, you will go directly to your first day activity. Most hotels do not allow group check-in before 3:00 pm. Check your final itinerary for specifics. Final itineraries are generally sent to the teacher/sponsor two weeks prior to your trip.
We generally recommend $10 to $20 per meal if eating on your own. However, some meals are generally included in the trip package, so please check with your teacher/sponsor for details regarding the particular trip inclusions. Students may also want to bring additional money for souvenir shopping at your own discretion. We suggest each student bring $50 to $100 for souvenirs.
Adding travel protection to your KA trip after you’ve registered is simple:
