Updated October 8, 2021: The following countries we operate in are currently open to US passport holders with some restrictions: Morocco, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Greece, Iceland, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica, & Ecuador. Our US National Parks trips are running as normal.
Each country has different entry requirements and all travelers returning to the United States will be required to show a negative COVID-19 test from a lab (PCR or Antigen) upon arrival. Under30Experiences will help coordinate testing at the end of your trip. Each traveler is responsible for fees associated with the test, payable directly to the lab conducting the test.
Travelers can now bring their own at-home, self-administered test kit such as
Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Ag Tests to take before the end of the trip, to show to US immigration upon return home. This test must be taken under the supervision of a telehealth practitioner through an app like Navica.
