Frequently Asked Questions

Is Camp Yoshi just about camping?

Not at all. Camp Yoshi is about community, connection, and taking up space outside—with intention. Camping is just one of the tools we use. Some of our trips feature tents and fire pits; others include boutique hotels, luxury lodges, or private chefs in off-grid cabins. We design the experience around the land, the energy, and what our guests need to feel restored and inspired.

I'm new to outdoor adventures. Is Camp Yoshi for me?

Absolutely. Camp Yoshi’s whole magic is transforming the outdoors into an experience where even non-campers and non-adventurers feel at home in nature. We set you up for success from day one, making sure comfort and ease are woven into everything we do. Plus, this is an ideal way to learn camping basics that’ll give you the confidence to plan your own outdoor adventures down the road.

No worries if this is your first time—we’ve got you. Before your trip, you’ll receive a detailed camper’s guide on what to bring, what to expect, and tips for making the most of your time outside.

Should I purchase trip insurance?

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment—especially for any non-refundable portions.

Can I arrive late or leave early?

We get it — life happens. But because of how remote some of our trips are, arrivals and departures are coordinated pretty tightly. If you need to arrive late or duck out early, let us know before booking so we can figure out if it’s possible.

Will the itinerary change after booking?

Nature’s the creative director. Weather, permits, or partner shifts may tweak the plan. Nothing cancels—it adapts. You’ll still get the magic, just in a different wrapper.

What kind of support can I expect?

Think of us as your guides, hosts, and low-key hype team. Your local guide plus the Camp Gurus handle the logistics, transport, meals, and all the behind-the-scenes wizardry. We also roll with wilderness first responders, so you can feel safe going deep. Your only job? Show up and live it.

Are allergies and dietary preferences accommodated?

Yes. Food is the heartbeat here. Vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian — we’ll make sure your plate feels thoughtful. Just know this is harvest-to-table, so flexibility helps. If a fisherman pulls in snapper that morning, it’s going on the grill.

Once you make a payment, each camper on your reservation will receive an e-mail asking to complete their Camper Profile where allergies and dietary restrictions can be shared.

What is your policy around alcohol and drug use?

We love a good toast. Alcohol is not included in the trip price, but campers are welcome to purchase their own — and trust, there will be plenty of opportunities to lean into the island’s rum, wine, and cocktails. At certain meals, we’ll include alcohol pairings (think bubbles at sunset or a local rum tasting), but for the most part, it’s BYOB or direct-purchase.

Cannabis? Only where it’s legal and if it fits the vibe. Out on boats, during hikes, or in technical terrain, it’s off-limits. Trust us: kayaking through a glowing bioluminescent bay at night is a natural high all on its own.

What is your policy around firearms?

Nope. Not here. The only thing we’re shooting is photos and maybe an espresso shot before the hike.

Cancellation Policy

We design our experiences with care and commit early to the people and places that make them possible—farmers, chefs, guides, drivers, and hosts. Because of this, our cancellation policy is built to balance flexibility for our guests with fairness to our partners.

If you cancel 90 or more days before departure, you may choose either a full refund minus a 5% processing fee, or a Camp Yoshi credit valid for 18 months. Credits are transferable and can be applied to any Camp Yoshi experience.

If you cancel between 60 and 89 days before departure, you will receive a 50% refund and a 50% Camp Yoshi credit, valid for 18 months.

If you cancel between 31 and 59 days before departure, you will receive a Camp Yoshi credit for 75% of your total trip cost, valid for 12 months. At this stage, most logistics are locked, but we want to make it possible to join us again when timing allows.

Cancellations made within 30 days of departure are non-refundable, as lodging, food, staffing, and permits have been finalized. In some cases, credits may be considered if we are able to fill your spot. We encourage guests to reach out early—communication matters.

At any point prior to departure, you may transfer your reservation to another guest at no additional cost, provided they meet the trip requirements. This is often the easiest way to recover your full investment.

If Camp Yoshi needs to cancel a trip for any reason, guests will receive a full refund or a full Camp Yoshi credit, at their choice.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment against unexpected changes.
