We are open to all and take bookings from around the world

  • To book a place on a LGBTQ+ friendly adventure holiday or UK adventure please pay your deposit online and we will contact you. During the booking process you may need to fill out a form detailing exactly what you require. This can be done on the website via the 'Book Your Place' tab or via bank transfer. For our bank details please contact us.

  • We are open to all, you do not have to be LGBTQ+ to come on our expeditions or adventures. You need to agree to our equality for all and non-discriminatory policy.

  • You can pay in America Dollars, Euros, Canadian Dollars, Swiss Francs and any number of other currencies. When you pay with your credit card our website will convert the price advertised into your currency according to the currency exchange rates on that day. If you would like to know exactly how much that is before paying please contact info@prideexpeditions.co.uk on the day you wish to pay.

  • A deposit holds your place on a trip and is refundable until enough deposits have been received for the trip to be viable. At this stage you will be issued with an expedition confirmation notice. This is the point in-country bookings will be made and your deposit will become non-refundable. Once an expedition has been confirmed you will receive a payment schedule detailing payment deadlines for the expedition or trip.

  • If you wish you can pay for the expedition or UK adventure in one payment or split it out according to the payment schedule depending on your financial situation.
