Is this trip for me?
This is a true once in a lifetime adventure tour for those wanting to experience the best of three exciting activities in one itinerary. 
The riding is manageable for more novice riders. The hiking is moderate to challenging and clients should have the appropriate level of fitness. The kayaking requires no experience although clients should be comfortable around water and have a good level of fitness. 
Clients considering this adventure tour should be confident travelling in remote areas, be prepared for inclement weather and necessary itinerary changes and most of all have a sense of humour and a flexible attitude. 
As with all our scheduled riding and hiking trips, this trip is fully supported leaving you to carry only a day pack during hiking. Saddle bags are provided for the riding section and all equipment is provided for the kayaking. 
The trip is guided from start to finish by an experienced English speaking wilderness guide. 
Riding Experience: As this is an adventure tour, clients should have good stamina levels. We are able to accept a lesser standard of riding than on our scheduled riding trips. However, clients should feel fairly comfortable in the saddle and be capable of cantering unaided.
Age Limit: Ages 12 - 70. Young travellers need to be hardy and accompanied by an experienced and capable adult. Alternatively please see our family itineraries for very young children. Older clients are welcome but may be asked to complete a medical suitability questionnaire
