What to Bring & What is included?

 

Bedding & Towels

You won’t need to carry your bedding! Clean bedding is provided all the way. It is advisable to bring your own towel as not all hostels will have them for rent.

 

Clothing and Footwear

Something warm, something waterproof, a full change of clothes and good sturdy shoes for walking – unfortunately we don’t have a sunshine hotline and we will be doing stuff regardless of the weather!!!

Walking boots a must for the Walking tours. Trekking shoes or trainers / sneakers for other tours.

Swimwear - sometimes the weather is hot - there is always a chance to swim!

 

Luggage

You are welcome to leave bags in the office that you do not want to take with you. It is normally only 20 metres from the bus to the hostel so you don't have to carry bags far!

 

Drink

Thanks very much, mine’s a pint! There are plenty of chances to enjoy the local beer and whisky – no surprises, NOT included in the tour price!!

Food, Accommodation & attractions - the Kitty

Relax, it’s all included (apart from lunch, beers & souvenirs.) Your full payment includes the tour price AND a kitty for breakfast, evening meals, accommodation, ferries and bridge tolls & all entrance fees written in the itinerary.

The kitty must be paid in cash (sterling) on the morning of the tour – all the money is spent on you and none of it goes back to Wild In Scotland

We stay in small hostels/bunkhouses in beautiful locations – accommodation is in mixed and single sex dorm rooms.

Food-wise, if we’re not having a sit-down meal in a local pub, we muck in together cooking our own grub (you can try Haggis!) Vegetarians: Please tell the driver before the first supermarket sweep so we can help you get what you want. The driver is there to co-ordinate the cooking – he/she will buy the food and the group will then cook and clean up.The driver / guide can then sit back and recharge for the next day's touring.

In the Stromeferry hostel the food is cooked for us!!! We just have to turn up, wash and clear up!
