Who will I be traveling with?

On a MycoTreks™ trip, MycoGeeky, Natural State Mycology and Don, the Mushroom Hunter will always be present for the entirety of the trip (unless explicitly stated on the trip details).  In addition to the founders of MycoTreks™, there will be local guides and guest lecturers/experts on every trip.  

What if I'm traveling by myself?

MycoTreks™ is passionate about connecting the online Mycology Community together, and what better way to myceliate than traveling and learning with them?

One of the greatest aspects of a MycoTreks™ trip is the sense of community and shared interest in mycology. You may not know who you are traveling with, but you can travel assured that the others in your group are there to enjoy learning about and discovering mushrooms too! 

By default, we will pair you with a roommate for your hotel accommodations. You will share a room, with separate beds with the same person during the entire trip. However, some trips allow the option to purchase a single room for an additional cost. You can select this option as an add-on when booking your trip.

Please note that single rooms are subject to availability. If you purchase a single room and the MycoTreks™ is unable to accommodate you, you will be refunded for the extra amount paid.

Safety, inclusion, and accessibility are our top priorities for our Travelers, so you never travel alone with MycoTreks™.

What if I have dietary or accessibility restrictions?

As our mission is to belong anywhere, we want to accommodate any restrictions or requests we can!

Most of our trip itineraries support dietary restrictions or preferences. We offer gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options for almost all of our activities. We also strive for Ethical Tourism that fits in with that ethos.

We work closely with our local partners to accommodate accessibility requests on a case-by-case basis. This may include modifying activities, providing alternative transportation, or allocating accessible rooms to our Travelers. As each person’s needs vary, we will work with you and our Operator to see what is possible on your itinerary of interest.

Part of the trip booking process includes a trip form to fill out flight information, roommate preferences, etc. In this step, you can submit special requests for dietary or accessibility needs.

If you have questions about your specific request or need, please feel free to contact us for more information!

When will my detailed itinerary become available?

The detailed itinerary for your trip will be released around 15-30 days before the trip starts. However, the itinerary on the Trip page will have close estimates to plan off of!

Our trip pages display a general itinerary with guidelines on what will be provided and when. This includes transportation, hotel accommodation, activities, and meals. Due to the ever-changing nature of travel, we will not solidify the exact times and locations until the technical itinerary has been approved by us and the local Guides.

The details on the public trip page will display approximate times and locations, so you can make plans ahead of time. Feel free to contact us if you have questions about any specifics on your itinerary!

If I cancel my booking, will I get a refund?

Our cancellation policy is based on the days until the trip starts.

Once your booking has been confirmed and paid, your entitled refund is determined based on the trip start date. If you cancel more than 90 days prior to trip date, you are entitled to a full refund assuming you are able to find a replacement Traveler to take your spot.  Cancellations within 90 days of Trip Date are not refunded.  You are able to request in writing that another Traveler take your place, but the final decision is up to the Company.  

For more information on our full cancelation policy, you can review our Booking Terms and Conditions.
