Have you ever touched a whale? Few people rarely experience this, but you can! Let’s head to the Baja Peninsula where we’ll take a boat tour and come face-to-face with mother and baby grey whales. These gentle giants actually seek human interaction, so you can reach out and pet them… and maybe even give them a kiss! This is an adventure you won’t want to miss!

RV travel is fun and exciting, but the unexpected can happen. Losing the cost of a trip due to cancellation or an unexpected medical emergency during your trip can add the expense of physicians, hospitalization, or a medical evacuation, all of which can be overwhelming.

Travelers want to move about with confidence and peace of mind that comes from protecting both their health and finances. There are NO infectious disease exclusions - meaning that COVID-19 is covered as any other illness.

TME Travel Insurance provides a suite of insurance options for all styles of travel. Additional benefits are available when you purchase COMPREHENSIVE TRIP CANCELLATION, such as optional Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage on the TME Elite Plan when purchased within 14 days of booking your tour. Plans cover both domestic and international travel.
