Discover the history and culture of forward-thinking Belfast and Londonderry, then explore the striking beauty of Northern Ireland’s rugged coast, from the World Heritage Listed Giant’s Causeway to the famous Carrick-a-Rede-Bridge and wildlife-packed Rathlin Island.

Responsible travel

 

Reducing waste

Our Waste Management Policy encourages our travellers to take their own reusable water bottles, coffee cups and reusable stuff sacks to avoid single use plastics. In the mountains of the Pyrenees and Mont Blanc our local partners reduce the amount of packaging taken on tour and ensure all waste is carried out from refuges that do not have road access to help dispose of it properly.

Supporting local

In the regions that we travel tourism is the main source of income for many local people. We support them by only working with local family run hotels and suppliers so your money supports the community that hosts you.

Paddock to plate

The paddock to plate across Europe is one we encourage by choosing to work with accommodations that source produce from local farms. This provides you with fresher meals and ensures your money directly assists local economies.

Accommodation

Charming local hotels

Often family run, these hotels range from 2 to 4 stars and provide access into local living thanks to your hosts. The hospitality is generous and their local knowledge is invaluable. Where possible, we choose locations that add to your experience.

Bed & Breakfasts (B&B's)

Simple yet rich in local character, the B&B's chosen are clean, comfortable and run by hosts that help add to your experience.

Boats

Due to the shape of a ship's hull the size of cabins vary from boat to boat. Boat based trips include below deck berths however you can upgrade to above deck for an additional cost. Berths contain simple but functional equipment and are furnished with beds and a small wardrobe or an open shelf. There is enough space for sleeping and storing your travel bag. The crew includes an onboard cook.

Visas

Nationalities that are visa-exempt, such as Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and US Passport holders who are travelling to the UK on or after 8 January 2025, will need to apply for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA). For European passport holders this applies from 2 April 2025. The best way to do this is to download the app - UK ETA - from the App Store or Google Play. Ensure you download the correct app - it has a crown as its logo. There is also an option to apply online but this is not the preferred method. It costs £10 to apply. Everyone travelling needs to get an ETA, including babies and children. see https://www.walkersbritain.co.uk/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-uk-eta for further information.
