Guidelines for purchasing flights
If you choose to fly you can book a flight into the local airport in Bozeman (airport code BZN). We will meet you at the Bozeman airport and drive the 1 hour to our research base in Big Sky. Interns should plan on arriving to the airport by 2:00 pm on their expedition start date. We will be leaving the airport at 2:00 pm to head to the research base and begin orientation. If you will be arriving by car please let us know so we can send you the address and make sure someone is there to meet you.
Global Treks will transport the team to the airport on the last day of the expedition in the morning, so flights can be purchased to depart anytime on the final expedition day after 11 am (we will get everyone to the airport by 9 am). Students selecting flights departing in the early morning may be driven to the airport the night before.
If interns wish to extend their stay earlier or later than the expedition dates, that’s no problem at all. Global Treks will pre-arrange a meeting place at the start of the expedition and assist with departures at the end of the trip. All interns should plan to leave the research base on the morning of the final expedition day.
Travel Insurance
For travel insurance, Global Treks and Adventures is not associated with anyone in particular or sell insurance directly. But, we have used insuremytrip.com in the past and had a good experience. They have several options you can review. There are also a million other options available online, so we recommend interns take their time and find a plan that fits individual preferences. Please note, while recommended, it is not required to purchase travel insurance.
Cancellation Policy
Transferable deposits. All deposits can be transferred to a future program, to a friend, a family member, or donated to another applicant in the Global Treks world for up to 2 years of the payment.
Payments made after the deposit can be refunded up to 45 days before the first day of the trip. Cancellations within 45 days of the first day of the trip are non-refundable.
Covid-19 specific policy: If you test positive for Covid-19 within 14 days of the trip and provide a copy of the positive test result with your name on it, we will transfer the funds to a future expedition (within 2 years). If you test positive for Covid-19 during the trip, the entire program fee is non-refundable. For further details on all Global Treks Covid-19 policies please visit our Covid-19 webpage.
