A few guidelines on trip descriptions: All descriptions/itineraries are sourced from trip/tour operator. Prices are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated, are often “starting from” the one listed, and don’t necessarily reflect final/total cost (that is, taxes, in-country or extra fees might be added). And, prices indicated here do NOT include airfare, unless it says so. Date changes are always possible and sometimes even inescapable. So, always get in touch with an operator directly  sometimes they’ll let you know about a sale or special so a price may actually be less than listed here.
