Rates & Services
A common question from our perspective clients is: How do you get paid?
We are a business and we’re committed to service and excellence. Because we custom build most of our client's trips, based on your time, budget, and preferences, we do charge a planning fee so that we can be compensated for our work. We spend time quoting, building, and researching, so that you can look forward to fostering relationships, creating memories, and enjoying some much-needed down time with your friends and family. Our experience and value are worth the nominal fee.
When you retain Aqua & Earth Travel, you get the benefit of our skills, experience, training, and professional relationships with trusted suppliers.
