Does my Baz Bus ticket include accommodation?
Your Baz Bus ticket does not include accommodation. There are hotel/hostel pickup and drop offs at every stop.
Should I book my accommodation in advance?
Most people prefer to play it by ear and book hostels as they go along. During the busy summer season some places do get full and we do recommend booking a few days in advance, especially for double rooms. When you log in to book your travel dates you can see which accommodation we drop off and pick up at. There are many options at each stop.
