If changes become necessary, we will inform you as soon as possible.
Travel Protection:
We always hope that every trip we book goes smoothly, but Rise and Rove believes that planning a successful trip also means considering what to do when things don’t go as planned. Travel Protection safeguards your travel investment, your belongings, and most importantly, you. We always advise travelers to enroll in a Travel Protection Plan in the event you have to cancel or leave your trip. In fact, some countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to provide proof of valid medical insurance on entry. In order to safeguard your trip Rise and Rove strenuously recommends that you purchase travel protection and for some trips may require it, in which case it will be noted in the trip description. Rise and Rove cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a guest is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason. If you choose to travel without adequate travel protection, we will not be liable for any of your losses howsoever arising, which would have been covered by adequate travel protection.
International Travel:
No travel is without risk. We will make reasonable efforts to inform you of travel risks to your chosen destination, however, it is your responsibly to be aware of any travel advisories or travel warnings that are in effect at the time of travel and prepare accordingly. The ultimate decision on where to travel is up to you. Should you choose to travel to a destination when warnings and advisories are in effect, we will not be liable for any personal injury, loss, theft, or damages of any kind that result from travel to any such destination. For information on travel advisories an warnings you may visit the state department website at: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories.html/. Travel advisories and warnings may change from time to time so it is important to check back periodically before your trip begins.
Each participant must obtain a machine-readable passport and any applicable visas for his or her trip prior to departure. If a participant is unable to obtain travel documents or is prohibited from entering the destination country, our standard cancellation policy will apply, and we will not be responsible in any way. Passports must be valid for at least six months after the trip ends. For additional information you can visits the state department travel website at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html. Non-U.S. citizens should contact the embassy or consulate of their destination countries to ensure they meet specific entry requirements. In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees and/or departure taxes/ exit fees which will be collected at the airports upon entry/departure by local government authorities. These are your responsibility. Please note that entry to any country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete.
When travelling domestically or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight. Examples: DHS designated enhanced driver’s license, USA Passport, a foreign government passport. The name, date of birth and gender that appears on the identification card must exactly match the same such data that is listed on airline ticket(s) and booking records.

Disinsection of aircraft is permitted under international law in order to protect public health, agriculture and the environment. A number of countries that we organize trips to choose to do this by spraying the aircraft cabin with an aerosolized insecticide while passengers are on board. The Report of the Informal Consultation on Aircraft Disinsection sponsored by the World Health Organization (November 6-10, 1995) concluded that aircraft disinsection, if performed appropriately, would not present a risk to human health. The report also noted that some individuals may experience transient discomfort following aircraft disinsection by aerosol application. If you have concerns about this process or wish to know more you can visit the U.S. Department of transportation website at: https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/spray.
