Single rooms are limited.


Pricing Transparency (Please Read)

Pricing for this journey is currently estimated while final group size and contracts are confirmed.

Lumina trips are built around real groups—not padded projections.
Rather than inflating prices “just in case,” we finalize pricing once accommodations, transportation, and experiences are fully secured.

What this means for you:

  • Your final confirmed price will be shared before any additional payments are due

  • There will be no surprise increases after confirmation

  • If the final price doesn’t feel right, you may step away with your $100 deposit fully refunded

This approach allows us to keep group sizes small, choose better accommodations, and design a more intentional experience overall.


Deposit & Payment Information

  • $100 fully refundable deposit reserves your spot

  • Deposit applies toward your total trip investment

  • All payment plans are interest-free

  • Final payment is due 90 days before departure

Payment plans are flexible and designed to feel supportive, not stressful.
You may pay off your balance early at any time.


What Happens After You Book

Once your deposit is submitted:

  • You’ll receive access to your private traveler portal

  • You’ll receive clear next steps (no overwhelm)

  • You’ll be added to the dedicated WhatsApp group closer to departure

  • You’ll receive thoughtful pre-trip emails and guidance

  • We’ll support you with logistics every step of the way

Flights are the only thing you book independently—we guide you through everything else.

There are no icebreakers, no forced vulnerability, and no pressure to perform.
Connection here is organic.


Important Notes

  • Group size is intentionally limited

  • This journey runs once

  • Room types are available on a first-come basis

  • Travel insurance is strongly recommended

  • This booking secures your place but does not obligate you beyond the refundable deposit stage
