Is tipping customary?
Tipping is customary and greatly appreciated by the packers and cooks but it is not required. The rule of thumb most use to determine if and how much to tip is the following: if you had a great time tip 10% of the cost of the trip, if you had an “OK” time tip 5%, and if you think the crew did a lousy job don’t tip. You can give the tip to any of the crew members that helped you. They will split it among all of those that worked on your trip.
