Coronavirus: and Flexible Trip Deposit Transfers

We may be a small family business but we are a resilient company which has been in operation for over 13 years and that has had to face challenges before – starting out during the last global recession, the memorable Icelandic ash cloud and of course Brexit. We know the countries we operate in well and are in the ideal position to help members of our flock navigate what is and isn’t safe and offer the best advice on when and where to travel.

With the outbreak of COVID-19 consuming the media and the impact and uncertainty this is placing on many industries including world travel, we wanted to extend to you some peace of mind when booking your travel with us. With regards to deposit payments for overseas trips, we are excited to announce that until 1 May 2020 we are offering flexible deposit payments when you book an Adventurous Ewe overseas trip departing in 2020. What that means is you can transfer your deposit to another overseas trip free of charge if you later decide on another expedition or destination. Please find the full T&C’s below.

Rest assured we are working hard to capture up-to-date information regarding the fast-evolving situation of COVID-19. Following the UNWTO’s lead, we aim to respond to COVID-19 in a measured and consistent way. We strongly support international collaboration and cooperation needed to ensure pandemic panic does not paralyze the tourism industry which is so important to the global economy as well as sustaining the smaller tour operators and local communities across the globe. 

In the meantime, we have plenty of exciting UK based challenges if you’re still in need of a quick adventure fix. We’ve recently launched a brand new adventure – Snowdonia Packrafting & Wild Camping weekend. For more info on any of our UK adventures, simply visit our website. 

So if you have any questions about travelling, whether now or in the future, to any of our destinations, please give Jim or Sue a call on 01492 588 069 or drop us an email and we’ll be more than happy to chat about all things travel, health and safety.

What is an Adventure

What is an adventure?
It's taking a leap outside your comfort zone; being drenched by tropical storms, searching for shade in unbearable heat and digging deep to keep going, blisters and all.
It’s climbing mountains, crossing deserts, trudging through jungles and connecting with other people.
It's is a challenge taken on by ordinary, everyday people. A level playing field where teachers rub shoulders with chief execs, nurses mix with lawyers, builders work alongside bankers, and consultants team up with cleaners.

Adventure does not distinguish between experts or novices. There is nowhere to hide – if Mother Nature throws down the gauntlet, you all must be ready to face the same challenge. Tread the same muddy trail, endure epic long days, experience different or even difficult situations, face your fears and bond with new people.

It’s about discovery, immersing yourself in new environments, customs and cultures. Adventure will have you uncovering strengths, sharing laughter & tears and looking at the world in a whole new light. It will teach you confidence, decisiveness and being self-aware. It will give you a sense of freedom and opens up unlimited possibilities. Experiences that are so vivid and remarkable that they may even shape your life.

Here at Adventurous Ewe, adventure is what we're all about.
So if you're dreaming about your next adventure or in need of some inspo, get in touch check or check out our website or follow us on social media. We'd love to share an adventure with ewe.

Laugavegur Trail Iceland

The Iceland Laugavegur Trek is a wild and wonderful trek set amongst the wonderful and impressive landscapes of Iceland.

From the modern city of Reykjavik to the volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls and steaming lava fields of the interior, Iceland is a country of great contrast. Iceland homes truly unique environments, like nothing you would come across in mainland Europe, which attracts visitors that want to experience magical surroundings and a phenomenal trekking arena.

An excellent choice for those that want to experience this is the undertaking of Laugavegur Trail. A famed trail for its stunning views and range of terrain, those lucky enough to experience this will not be disappointed.

Spanning 49 miles, this is the longest hiking trail in the country. Well travelled, with past hikers and rangers adding special wooden signposts in important positions, the trail can trekked alone or with a special group.

As suggested by the name, Iceland will (depending on climate and season) have icy sections and generally cold temperatures. This means you'll not only have the battle of the long walk up and down trails and mountains, but also have to do so whilst bracing yourself from the cold conditions.

The 6 day Iceland Laugavegur Trek offered by Adventurous Ewe can guide you as a part of the group through some of the most spectacular wilderness that will see you enjoy camping along the way. Discreet vehicle support is also on hand that enables the supply of well-equipped camps and means you can travel lightweight, ensuring maximum satisfaction while working through the environment.

This specific trip allows you to travel through lakes and magnificent lava field, gurgling hot springs and steaming vents, as well as deep canyons, small valleys and the opportunity to whale watch or enjoy the Blue Lagoon.

When you opt to go with a tour group, you is much less risk, more convenience and you get to meet like minded people that will make the experience just that little bit better!

The following video will give you a taste of the Laugavegur Trek in Iceland!
