Dream and plan now, pay later!

Plan now, pay later for adult travelers

Plan your 2020 and 2021 tours with no financial or safety risk. With Colibri Travel & Tours Plan now, pay later, you can register for any of our tours without any initial deposit.

How does it work?

Choose any trip you like and fill out the request form on the trip page.

Pay a $50 deposit to secure your spot (refundable if there is a travel ban related to the pandemic that will prevent us from traveling).

Colibri Travel & Tours will monitor the situation, and 3 months before the trip we will ask for the final payment. If there is a travel ban on our destination and we have to cancel the trip, we will refund payment.

Attention: Our refund policy does not cover individual cancellations due to personal reasons, fear of travel, or reasons other than an official travel ban that will force us to cancel the entire tour. We encourage every traveler to purchase “cancel for any reason” travel insurance that would fully protect your investment.

Plan now, pay later for school groups (students, parents, teachers)

With our Plan now, pay later trips, your families will take on absolutely zero financial risks. In fact, you can already start planning trips for 2021 without any financial commitment whatsoever from your parents until group travel is safe and possible.

How does plan now, pay later for school groups work?

We invite teachers to plan their classroom trips for 2021 with us now, but we will not collect any payments until it is safe to travel.

"I will never go through another company other than Colibri Travel & Tours for future study tours. From the moment we first found out the University was canceling international travel due to COVID-19 pandemic. Colibri Travel & Tours committed to working with us above and beyond in order to ensure that students received refunds for their travel expenses. They did this even knowing that this commitment would have a significant impact on the company, but they prioritized doing the right thing, as opposed to how some other companies may choose to respond, to put their own interests first. Not only that, but the trip was canceled a week before we were supposed to leave, making it even more incredulous that Colibri Travel & Tours was able to negotiate our refunds with all her vendors under the circumstances. Sylvia (CEO) came back to us not just with refunds on most of our expenses, but also future travel options to provide to any student or person interested, when possible again. Not only did she pull off the impossible, but she even managed to give us something to potentially look forward to in the future. I’d also like to mention that even before the pandemic, Sylvia has been incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and accessible, truly making the process a pleasure, and putting us at ease about traveling with a large group. This is her reputation and it is absolutely deserved. Colibri Travel & Tours response was also instrumental in helping us support students who were understandably upset and disappointed about our cancelled plans. Needless to say, they were also amazed and appreciative of Colibri’s travel efforts on their behalf. All our now students hope to be able to re-book their trip once travel is allowed again, since they know they can trust Colibri to have their best interest in mind. Colibri Travel & Tours saved us all a good deal of stress and anxiety. Colibri is a wonderful partner and I look forward to engaging in multiple study tours with her in the future."
