    FAQ

    Where do we meet to start the trip?: We meet at airport destinations listed in the catalog by mid afternoon. All van transportation and shuttles are included in the Venture West trip fee. We spend the last night at a motel close to the airport so you can book a flight according to personal schedules and convenience.

    What/how should I pack?: We recommend you pack personal gear in a duffel bag. A soft pack allows greater flexibility when we pack the van. You'll receive a specific gear list for each trip and we recommend traveling "lightly".

    What is the average age of Venture West travelers?: Sometimes we see
    folks in their 20s, but most of us are over 40 and often in our 50s and 60s. Many adventuresome travelers in their 70s and 80s have joined us. Our groups are always a delightful mix of ages.

    What gender are most of your travelers?: Venture West is a co-ed business. We see more women than men and a balance of married and singles. Yes - you can come alone - most do.

    Can I book single accommodations?: For an additional fee you can request single accommodations. Costs vary per trip. Call us for more information.

    What is the difficulty level of Venture West trips: You can keep up, if you're reasonably fit. These trips are designed to be relaxing, educational, entertaining, inspirational and invigorating. They are not competitive events! A leisurely pace and a guide at the end of the line guarantees everyone finishes the day with a smile. Specific details are included in the individual trip itineraries.

    What can I expect from a Venture West trip?: Just take a deep breath and leave the world behind. For a week, let us take care of the details while you
    relax and enjoy the scenery, good conversation, tasty meals and the feeling of accomplishment that comes at the end of a day spent outdoors in wholesome activity. After a week you'll return home relaxed, refreshed and ready to plan
    your next Venture West trip.
