Frequently Asked Questions

Here you'll find answers to our most commonly asked questions. Please read through them for important information and travel tips before contacting Twilight Fan Trips™ or Beyond Boundaries Travel.

Can I put this trip together on my own?

No. Other tour operators cannot offer this trip with all the exclusives that Twilight Fan Trips™ puts into its programs and therefore neither can any individual. Individuals would not have access to these activities and professionals if traveling on their own. You would also be paying full retail rates at hotels and attractions. Twilight Fan Trips™ adds value to your vacation as a wholesaler by negotiating group rates for all of its programs, and therefore for all of its customers! In addition to the exclusive activities and wholesale pricing, much of the fun for a fan on a Twilight Fan Trip™ is the opportunity to spend days in another country with a group of like-minded individuals. Adults and families alike enjoy the camaraderie of fellow travelers, often making lifelong friends. These are just some of the many opportunities made possible by traveling with a group and with Twilight Fan Trips™.

Is this trip a good value?

Twilight Fan Trips™ has worked hard to ensure that your trip to the Pacific Northwest or Europe remains an excellent value. We are proud to be able to bring Twilight fans unparalleled experiences at affordable rates. We continually strive to maintain a high level of service, as well as exciting activities, and a high quality of hotels at a competitive price. A message from an HP Fan Trips™ Guest: “We actually did out the pricing: if you tried to do everything on your own there is no way we could have fit it all in or paid what we did. An excellent value and so much was included!,” Kristin K, Oakland CA

How do I choose between the different itineraries?

We crafted each tour with its own Twilight flavor. For those who cannot wait to see the movie in the “land of Twilight,” we encourage you to look at the Movie Release itineraries. Twilight Fan Trips™ has been given special authorization for a “Sneak Peek” viewing so if “seeing it first” is your desire, then that is the itinerary for you! Our Midnight Movie Release trip will include a 12:01 am showing of the movie so you will still be “one of the first”! Our Journey to Volterra in July is for those who want to explore the history and legend of Vampires overseas. Vampire Baseball Adventure is for active folks who want to experience Twilight on a longer tour, including a stay at the Quileute reservation and play vampire baseball at a professional baseball Stadium. End your summer with a bang and attend our tour with girls in mind! Attend a special program designed for us by a major department store in Portland and continue with a Prom Party at the View Point Inn, a very special tour!

What are the specific hotels for each package?

The hotels are listed in your trip itinerary.

How will our group travel between destinations internally?

For the most part you will travel between destinations via private motor coach. Each group will have their own luxury coach. Some days can be long when traveling from one location to the next, but that is how we get you the most from your trip.

What is the pace of the tours?

There is much Twilight to see and do - and we want you to get the most value for your money spent. Our pace is moderate and our goal is to try to visit as much as we can.

Will the schedule change from what is published on this site?

Due to unforeseen circumstances sometimes schedules need to be adjusted and changed. We do our best to let you know of these changes either prior to your trip or, for very last minute changes, through your guide.

More Questions …

I am only 15 and my parents can't come on the trip - is there a chaperone available?

We currently do not have a chaperone assigned. Should there be enough interest, we will try to locate a chaperone. There would be an additional cost per trip to pay for the chaperone's expenses. We suggest you make a reservation quickly. If you make a reservation and we are unable to find a chaperone, your money will be refunded.

I am traveling by myself and don't want to have to pay the single supplement - what are my options?

To avoid the single supplement you will just need to inform us of your roommate choice so that we can adjust your invoice accordingly. We can assist with this process if necessary.

I have friends in Portland/Seattle - can I just stay with them and join the group for the activities?

The tour is priced as a group package and therefore the price of the accommodations can not be taken out of the overall package price. So, if you choose to stay with a friend we unfortunately can not change the pricing.

Can I attend only part of the tour?

No changes in prices can be made if you only attend part of the tour, so it really is not cost effective to miss any portion of the tour.

Is this trip accessible to people with physical disabilities and those using a wheelchair?

If we are made aware of your needs in advance, we will do everything possible to accommodate you.

When will I get my final documents for the trip?

We will put together a package for each participant/family that will include all of the necessary travel documents (finalized itinerary with meeting point, trip roster, etc.) and mail it approximately 21-30 days prior to departure.

Are tips included?

Beyond Boundaries Travel has taken care of certain tips and gratuities for all included meals and activities such as tips for porters, housekeepers, coach drivers, local experts and dining room staff for included meals. Gratuities for your guides are not included. If you feel that your guides have provided excellent service, we suggest the following discretionary gratuity: Per Guest/Per Guide/Per Day - $5-$8 USD. For example: For an eight day adventure, the guide gratuity per guest would be $40-$64 USD.

What types of meals are included?

Typically, breakfast is served each morning in a buffet style and offers a variety of dishes. Dinners and lunches usually include a variety and always have a vegetarian option but please order in advance to ensure we have enough vegetarian meals for all guests. Some included meals may offer a limited choice menu. Given the nature of group travel, we regret that ala carte menu choices may not always be available. Children-friendly choices are available at all meals. Menu items are subject to change due to the availability and seasonality of foods. Beyond Boundaries Travel makes every attempt to accommodate dietary restrictions. Please be sure to note these restrictions on the reservation or by contacting the BBT office as soon as possible.

What types of drinks are included with meals?

Typically water, tea and coffee are included with your meals that are included on the trip. Breakfast usually has a variety of juices as well. Milk and soda are not typically included. Alcoholic beverages are typically not included with your scheduled meals. However, you are free to purchase them at your own expense.
