Looking to arrive early or stay a little longer? Adding independent hotel nights before or after your tour, known as pre-stays and post-stays, is a great way to ease into your trip or explore more on your own.
How to request extra nights
We'll reach out to the hotels on your behalf to request a reservation for your preferred dates.
-
Contact our team to request additional nights - we'll get you a quote for the stay and request availability
- Let us know the dates you are interested in staying
- If you’ve booked EF Adventures airfare, we can adjust your flights to match your extended travel dates (additional costs will apply)
- Requests must be made before your Tour Finalization Date (70–90 days before departure)
You can find your Tour Finalization Date in your online account or mobile app.
What to expect
Hotel location
- Extra nights can only be added in your starting or ending hotel
- For stays in other cities, you’ll need to book accommodations independently
- If your tour offers an extension in the same city as the main tour, we are unable to book extended stays.
Hotel availability
- We aim to book the same hotel as your main tour, but it’s not always guaranteed
- If unavailable, we’ll offer an alternative and confirm with you before booking
- If none of our partner hotels have availability, we will remove the extended stay and email you a confirmation
Transfers
- Group airport transfers are only included on the standard tour dates, for travelers who purchase our flight package
- You’ll need to arrange your own transportation for pre- or post-stays
Pricing
- Costs vary by location, room type, and duration
- We’ll review pricing with you before confirming your stay
- Depending on the hotel and availability, additional costs can apply - we will contact you to confirm any additional costs prior to booking your stay
During your independent stay
- Pre- and post-stays are independent travel time
- EF Adventures does not arrange activities, guides, or reservations during this time
- Your Tour Director will only be present during the main tour dates
- Hotel details for extra nights are typically shared two weeks before departure
Cancellation policies for extra nights can be found in our Terms & Conditions.
