A block of seats has been reserved for our group from Miami International Airport (airport code is MIA) on Saturday, May 16,2026. The group will be flying on American Airlines #927 to Barranquilla (airport code is BAQ), Colombia and arrives at 2:25 p.m. If you would like to fly on the group flight from Miami, please indicate so on the Registration Form.

Please Note: If you are planning to fly with the group to Colombia and would like assistance booking your flight from your home city airport to Miami, please contact BenchMark Incentives.

On Saturday, May 23, 2026, the group flight will depart Cartegena (CTG), Colombia at 1:55 p.m. on American Airlines #1144 and will arrive back in Miami at 5:55 p.m. Connecting flights from Miami to your home city airport will be the same day.

If you are making your own airline arrangements, we strongly suggest you plan on arriving to Barranquilla (BAQ), Colombia by 5:00 p.m. the latest on Saturday, May 16.  The ship departs from the dock at 9:00 p.m., and it is approximately a 50-60 minute transfer to the dock. You may book your flight home anytime on Saturday, May 23 as we arrive in Cartegena the day before. We recommend transferring to the Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) at least four (4) hours prior to your scheduled flight time for a relaxed disembarkation, including getting through customs and travel to the airport.

A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total trip cost is due at the time of booking. The final payment is due by Feb 9, 2026. If final payment is not received by February 9, 2026, BenchMark Incentives/TUT reserve the right to consider the booking as cancelled by you, and charge you any cancellation fees that may apply, unless alternative arrangements have been made. Please note that this trip has limited availability, and reservations will be held on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations must be made through the TUT website.

Group sizes typically range from 50-100 people, but there’s no limit either way. Always, the right people show up for each trip!

Comfort is the name of the game. Colombia is a hot and humid country so lightweight, easy-care clothing is recommended.  Long sleeved UV protective shirts and pants will offer continuous protection from the sun and mosquitos.

When you register for the trip, there’s a button to click if you’d like us to find you a roommate. We will then do our utmost to pair you with another traveler who has also requested a roommate.

BenchMark Incentives strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance* before any TUT trip! Travel insurance offers travelers coverage for unforeseen problems, from a cancelled flight to a serious illness—or in rare cases, even an act of terrorism or the financial default of a travel supplier. If you miss a travel connection, even for reasons beyond your control, you are NOT necessarily protected from financial loss unless you have travel insurance. For example, if you encounter mechanical problems, flight delays, or inclement weather that causes you to miss connections, the airline carrier might re-book you, although in many cases (such as bad weather) it is NOT guaranteed (in which case you may either have to purchase an entirely new round-trip ticket or forego the entire prepaid trip without any reimbursement). Travel insurance can cover new flights or provide trip cancellation coverage (for a covered loss), as well as emergency medical expenses and medical transportation.

Travel insurance also provides 24 hour "911" emergency travel service, in case a traveler has to change a flight or a hotel room, in addition to assistance with emergency cash transfers, lost baggage, and pre-trip consultation services (travel advisories, passport requirements, inoculation information, etc.).

HOW TO PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE:

You can obtain travel insurance from Travel Guard International. To view the various policies offered, log onto Travel Guard Insurance. You will have two options to purchase travel insurance: 1.) US and Canadian residents may call Travel Guard directly at 1-800- 826-1300. In this case you may be asked for a travel agent code. Please give Travel Guard the code 22735731 as this code will identify your booking with BenchMark Incentives, Inc. 2.) Visit Travel Guard’s website at Travel Guard Insurance to process the insurance yourself. Please be sure to read all policy information thoroughly and note that if you have a pre-existing condition you must apply for the insurance within 14 days of the trip deposit date.

• Please note that Travel Guard insurance is only available to U.S. and Canadian residents at this time. If you live elsewhere, please check for such coverage within your home country from independent providers.

This is an opportunity for adventurers, like-minded thinkers from around the world, to come together and share the experience of a lifetime. There will be daily workshops, group excursions, free time to explore on your own, and time to connect with Mike Dooley and his brother, Andy, one-on-one.

Each day, there will be time for you to spend however you like. Some days you will have free time in-between excursions and workshops, and other days you will have the entire morning or afternoon to relax or explore on your own.

Yes! We would love for your spouse and/or children to join us, however, the minimum age for children joining our adventures is 18 years-old.
