We follow current government advice on managing COVID-19 requirements. According to the rules all our guides are fully vaccinated and adhere to COVID-19 regulations. In addition, the casas, transport providers and other suppliers that we use must meet enhanced COVID-19 standards and regulation requiements.
What happens if someone on the trip shows COVID-19 symtomps?
If a customer feels unwell during their trip, our Tour Leader will assist them to access medical care. This may include facilitating COVID-19 testing and isolate as required.
We encourage customers to bring their own RAT tests from home as a precaution should they require one completed.
Should the person be tested positive, the Tour Leader will assist them to leave the tour so unaffected members of the tour group can continue their travel.
