Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this trip, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Portugal: Lisbon, Coimbra & Cascais

Experience on a journey through the highlights of Portugal, from the seven hills of Lisbon to the medieval walled city of Coimbra and seaside Cascais. 

The Gulf of Guinea: Ghana, Togo & Benin

Wrap up your adventure in western Africa, where you’ll wander through botanical gardens in Ghana, discover diverse landscapes of Togo and historically-rich Benin.

Here's why our travelers take one or both of these extensions:

  • You’ll maximize your discoveries—often in an even smaller group (with a dedicated Trip Experience Leader) than your main adventure—and enhance your value by lowering your per-day costs because you’re taking advantage of your already included international airfare.
  • Both of these optional extensions include all accommodations, daily breakfasts, airport transfers, and other features.
  • This is a great opportunity to join your fellow travelers early or spend more time after your adventure getting to know your Trip Experience Leader and developing bonds with each other.

Arrive Early

  • Arrive early in Madeira before your main adventure — Travel from $190 per room per night
  • Arrive early in Lisbon before your Portugal pre-trip extension — Travel from $230 per room per night
Arrive Early

Combined adventures

If you’re already overseas, why not see more of the world and maximize your value by avoiding the expense and length of another international flight? Combine this adventure with another trip in the region and pay less than the cost of taking each trip separately. Additional benefits include:

  • Apply the 5% or 6% Frequent Traveler Credit you will earn on your first trip towards your second trip. Plus, Sir Edmund Hillary Club travelers save an extra $250-$350 per person when reserving multiple trips in a calendar year
  • Our Regional Adventure Counselors will work with you to make all necessary arrangements for a seamless experience

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 54% of O.A.T. travelers are personalizing their air itineraries on this adventure:

  • Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing

  • Depart from one city and return to another

  • Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your adventure. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.

Freedom of choice during your adventure

We’ve carefully crafted this itinerary to provide a balance of included activities and free time, so you always have the flexibility to participate in included activities, go off on your own entirely, or do a mix of both. Whether it's on your optional extension or main itinerary, your Trip Experience Leader is available to help you pursue your own personal interests, and will help you with transportation, tickets, or anything else you need.

The choice is yours
