Passport & Documentation
A valid passport is required for all persons departing Australia and in some cases a re-entry visa to return. Australian passport holders require an entry visa for some countries (including the USA and France for stays longer than 90 days). Non-Australian passport holders must check on their own individual visa requirements. It is the passengerıs sole responsibility to ensure they are in possession of the necessary documentation and in compliance with current government and transportation companiesı regulations. Passports must have at least six months validity from date of entry into Canada and the USA.
Visa
For holders of a valid Australian Passport, a current visa to Canada or the USA is not required for travel to North America for a stay of up to 90 days, however it is the responsibility of any traveler who has a recorded police conviction (regardless how minor) to check with the USA and Canadian consulate as to whether they require a visa.
Insurance
At the time of booking, insurance coverage is available and we would strongly recommend this be taken out to cover against loss of deposit for cancellation, any medical expenses incurred during your travel, loss or damage to baggage and personal property.
