Q: what's the standard tipping etiquette for the guides and lodge staff

AWS EXPERT REPLY
Tipping is a customary way to show appreciation for the exceptional service provided by our guides and lodge staff at AWS Lodge. While it's always at your discretion, here's a general guideline:

Hunting Guides & Bird Boys: We recommend $100 per hunter, per hunting day, to be split between your guide and dedicated bird boy.
Lodge Staff: For the entire lodge staff (chefs, housekeepers, bartenders, etc.), a collective tip of $100-$150 per hunter, per day of your stay, is greatly appreciated and can be given to the lodge manager at the end of your trip to be distributed among the team.

Our team works hard to ensure every aspect of your experience, from the field to the lodge, is seamless and luxurious.

To help me tailor the best information for you and send you a custom proposal, could you please share your email address? Also, what time of year are you considering for your trip?

AWS Lodge Note: These insights are compiled from historical guest queries to assist in your trip planning. While we strive for accuracy, field conditions, weather, and specific logistics may vary. Our staff handles all the hard work in the field. Always confirm final gear and itinerary details directly with our team. Contact Staff »

"Honestly the best wingshooting trip of my life. The high-volume dove shooting is exactly as advertised - non-stop action. The lodge is luxurious and the staff makes you feel like family."

"I was skeptical about the 'no internal flights' claim, but it's true. Landed in BA and was hunting by the afternoon. The mixed bag program allowed me to hunt ducks and perdiz in the same trip. Top notch."

"The food alone is worth the trip. The asados in the field were incredible. If you are looking for a luxury lodge near Buenos Aires, this is the one. Can't wait to return next season."
