There is nothing worse than paying for something, only to find that there are a whole host of hidden costs you haven't been told about. We've all been there at some point, which is why Quest doesn't want to be guilty of this with our projects and expeditions.

Quest Overseas covers all your costs on the ground, but what does that mean? A claim like this varies from organisation to organisation, so it's important that you do your research. With Quest this means all your accommodation and food of course, but that's not all. What you pay covers EVERYTHING you will be doing whilst part of the team. All transport, activities (PADI scuba diving courses in Mozambique , the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, ice climbing, the list goes on), all equipment and materials necessary for your team to complete the project and financial support to the project for the months we are not there. Your flights and insurance are not included, but once out in Africa or South America the only things not covered are activities on a handful (literally a handful) of free days, the gifts you buy for friends and family, and evening drinks.

Below are the costs of our team departures for 2010 and 2011. The above should help to explain what they include, our where does the money go page will give you a little more detail. If there is anything you would like clarifying or would like some more information, just contact us.
