Q: what's the suggested gratuity for the bird boys and lodge staff for a december trip

AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question to help plan your trip!

For gratuities, a general guideline often suggested for our dedicated bird boys is around $80-$100 per day, and for the lodge staff (including chefs, housekeepers, and general assistants), about $40-$50 per day. These amounts are suggestions and can be adjusted based on the exceptional service you receive during your stay at AWS Lodge.

To help me tailor the best information for you and send you a custom proposal for your December trip, could you please share your email address? Also, are you primarily interested in high-volume dove hunting, or are you considering a mixed bag program that might include ducks or perdiz?

*(AWS Expert Note: Please be aware that our Mixed Bag programs, including Duck and Perdiz hunting, strictly run during the Argentine winter from mid-May to mid-August. For trips in December, we exclusively offer our world-renowned High-Volume Dove program, which is spectacular year-round!)*

"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."
