Responsible Tourism

Outstanding Guides

All our operators employ exceptional guides with extensive local knowledge.

All our operators focus on small group adventures of anywhere between 8 and 20 people.

Transfers

These are often included by the travel operator but do not worry if that is not the case or you want greater flexibility in your travel plans. We can help with all arrangements to get you to the start of the tour and back to your home country at the end.

Other Services

You may consider adding an extension at the end of your tour or possibly arriving at the start point early. We can help with any travel arrangements to ensure your journey is a stress-free success.

Flights

We can book ATOL protected flights for your trip. Some of the adventure travel operators can arrange flights but not always. We will help to ensure you do get the right flights for your adventure.

Flights, Transfers & More

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office provides the following advice:

• Take out appropriate travel insurance before travelling and make sure it covers you for all the activities you want to do.

• If you are travelling within Europe, ensure you have a UK Global European Health Insurance Card (GHIC) that hasn’t expired and understand what it covers – you still need full travel insurance though! GHIC cards are free.

• Check foreign travel advice and learn about the laws, customs and entry requirements of the country you’re visiting and understand how they differ from home.

• Check your passport is valid, fill out the emergency details, look after it while travelling and keep it in a safe place. Make sure you have all the necessary visas.

• Make copies or take a picture of important travel documents and store them securely using a secure data storage site.

• Research vaccinations or any other medical requirements for your destination, and if necessary visit a travel health clinic before you travel. For medical advice, visit the Travel Health Pro website.

• Tell your friends or family about your travel plans and where you’re going, and leave emergency contact details.

• Take enough money with you and have access to emergency funds.

• Ensure you take the contact details of the local British Consulate in case of emergencies.

• Understand what consular staff can and can’t do to help British nationals travelling overseas. Act responsibly and be responsible for yourself when abroad.

• If you are from a different country, please check the latest travel advice from your country’s Foreign Office or contact them directly to find out more.

Health & Safety

Safety First

Safety is the utmost priority for all of our carefully selected operators. They have extensive safety management systems with 24 hour support. Advice is provided before the trips and full safety briefings take place along the way.

You must have travel insurance and you do need to take responsibility for your own behaviour in group travel situations. The operators' approach to health and safety is one of the biggest advantages to booking on a tour rather than travelling independently.

We always advise you to check out the current advice from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) before any travel.

Travel Trust Association

We are members of the Travel Trust Association, number X7370, a trade association of Travel Agents, Tour Operators and Travel Organisers that operate trust accounts in order to provide financial protection for the consumer. Through our membership of the Travel Trust Association, we are able to offer you the security of complete protection for your funds.

100% Financial Protection

ATOL

All the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate. Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it. Please see our booking conditions for further information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.caa.co.uk

Passports & Visas

All travellers need to have a valid passport and any relevant visas. It is the individual traveller who is responsible for having the necessary documentation. We are not able to offer any passport or visa services.

It is essential to check the requirements with plenty of notice. Visa requirements will depend on the destination and the nationality of the traveller. Whilst we cannot provide services in this area, if you have any questions we can point you in the right direction.

UK Government Travel Advice

We recommend you consult the Government's 'Travel Aware' website. Here you will find the latest travel advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, including security and local laws, plus passport and visa information.

You can also follow the latest government travel advice on X (Twitter) and Facebook

Travel Insurance

All passengers must have travel insurance. We do not sell insurance directly and you can choose any insurance provider. We are able to offer you a referral to Holiday Extras for insurance if that helps.

Holiday Extras Cover Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. For more information or to obtain a quote, please Go to their website -https://www.holidayextras.com/BH288 Or call them on 0800 083 3551 to speak to a friendly advisor. - Please quote BH288 upon calling."
