Your Experience
Level of Activity
This is a walking holiday with moderately strenuous hikes over several consecutive days. Daily distances range from 5-8km (~3-5 miles).
Each day usually consists of 3-5 hours of activities, most centered around walking over various terrains. City streets, village cobblestone walkways, well-worn countryside paths with uphill and downhill components. Achieving a specific destination (point A to B) is not usually the goal and alternative transportation or participation level is generally available.
Your day pack will include a liter of water, snacks, rain jacket, sunscreen, personal items, and a camera.
Level of Comfort
As you hop from island to island, relax in a cozy, home-away-from-home each night, hand-picked by for their excellent location, service and comfort.
Curl up in cozy libraries in front of a warm peat fire after an exciting day out hiking the islands. All accommodations provide breakfast.
Accommodations are priced and booked for double occupancy. We do not charge single person supplements to people booking on their own. You will be assigned a roommate (of the same sex).
