Of course! In fact, we encourage it. Retreats are an incredible way to make new friendships. We will pair you with a person of your gender for lodging, or you can pay a single supplement if you want your own room.

Root Adventures and our local guides prioritize safety above all else. Our local operators are true professionals and work to mitigate the risks involved with our adventures. Regarding issues of civil unrest, crime, and other events, we are in constant contact with our local operators and will adjust trips if necessary. Fortunately, our destinations are often very far (like an airplane flight away!) from what you might hear on the nightly news.

Yes! We have a very educated staff able to modify the meals to your restrictions. I promise, these aren't the standard, here is a side of rice for dinner style substitutions.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. It’s very affordable and can make a huge difference should the unexpected occur. Depending on the policy specifics, you’ll receive coverage for flight cancellations and delays, lost or stolen luggage, and medical care including evacuation back to the US, if necessary. To learn about travel insurance, click [here][1]. We work directly with Travel Guard, a highly respected industry leader, and can prepare quotes for you as well as assist in claims. However, you’re also welcome to shop around on your own, there are many great providers. Most people assume their credit card provides travel insurance. In most cases, we’ve found that default coverage isn’t very helpful when the unfortunate occurs. We always recommend adding an additional layer of protection. Most employer-sponsored Health Insurance plans also have limitations when applied internationally. This restriction is particularly true for Medicare recipients. Please ensure that you have appropriate coverage.

Our base prices are based off double occupancy in the rooms. We can match you up with someone of the same gender if you’re traveling solo. Or, ff you prefer not to share a room, you can upgrade with a Single Supplement fee to have your own room.

At Root Adventures, wellness isn’t an add-on—it’s at the heart of everything we do. All of our trips include mindful components such as yoga, meditation, journaling, and other transformational practices. Each day, we’ll create space for intentional practice and connection to nature—while also encouraging you to rest, unplug, and do what feels right for you.

For private/custom trips, you’ll also receive an 8-week pre-trip mindfulness and training program, plus on-trip prompts to deepen your presence, and a 6-week post-trip integration series to carry your growth back home.

Our group trips also include this full program, along with the added guidance of our expert Mindfulness Tour Leaders, who weave presence, reflection, and community into every step of the journey.

Yes. Each group trip has two pre-trip calls via zoom. One will be about a month before departure and the second about a week before departure. You will have a chance to meet the other participants, the tour leader, and ask all remaining questions that you might have.
