We will be ready to provide support to our guests. Employees are instructed to stay home if they do not feel well and are instructed to contact management if a guest has a cough, shortness of breath, or other known symptoms of COVID-19. Guests who are exhibiting any of the symptoms of COVID-19 while on tour are instructed to immediately notify their tour guide.

Camping Equipment (for camping tours only) All camping equipment will be sanitized between tours and guests will be assigned the same camping equipment for the duration of the tour.

Vehicles All tour vehicles will be sanitized before your tour, using will be additionally sanitized by the tour guide during the tour whenever possible.

Disposable Face Masks It is highly encouraged to bring your own hand sanitizer and face covering, and to wear your face covering while traveling. If you forget your mask, one may be available for you while stocks last. Guests will not be required to wear their face mask when they are in the tour vehicle. Please note that some parks and states are mandating that members of the public wear face coverings at all times when in public. Since these mandates are continuously being updated, we encourage you to reach out to us close to your tour date for the latest mandates in each area of your tour.

Camping and Lodging Accommodations All hotels and campgrounds used by Bindlestiff Tours are following sanitization protocols and procedures. Please email us at info@bindlestifftours.com for information on how to access each facility’s procedures.

Food kitty and communal meals where applicable Any tours that offer communally cooked/prepared meals may be altered in the short term. Any camping evening meals may be replaced with restaurant service at the guest’s expense. Due to these circumstances, local food kitty payments may be reduced and guests will be notified on a per-tour basis if this applies.

What if someone shows symptoms of COVID-19 on a tour? If a customer feels unwell during their trip, our guide will assist them to access medical care. This may include facilitating COVID-19 testing.

New tour offerings We know guests are anxious to return to the great outdoors. Many guests might be more comfortable primarily traveling with those they know rather than being a part of  large tour groups. We are happy to announce we have launched a series of new Private Tours.
