Pack light! Our trips are meant to be relaxing. On all our vacations your luggage will be transported by vans. Each pre-tour information packet includes a trip-specific packing list, however there are some general ‘what to brings’ common to all tours:
FOOT CARE
- Hiking boots for Guided and Self-Guided Walking tours. There are many brands from which to choose. Proper fit is crucial, so try on new boots while wearing the socks you will use on your vacation. Be sure to break in new boots well before your tour begins. By the time you are ready to join your walking tour, you should be able to complete 4-6 miles of walking in your boots comfortably. Waterproof boots will keep feet dry in rain and water-resistant boots will keep feet dry in heavy dew.
- Biking shoes or sneakers for Self-Guided Biking tours. Clipless bike shoes are not necessary, as clipless pedals are not available on the bikes you will use. Waterproof or water-resistant shoes will help keep feet dry if biking in the rain.
- Synthetic, moisture-wicking socks are recommended. (cotton socks are not advised while walking or biking as they will quickly cause blisters)
CLOTHING
- Lightweight wash-and-wear long pants
- Polypropylene shirt and fleece
- T-shirts and shorts
- Long-sleeved wash-and-wear shirt
- Biking shorts and/or tights for Self-Guided Biking tours. Biking specific shorts are not required but do provide added comfort) Biking gloves are optional on Biking adventures, however they will prevent hands from slipping in hot/humid weather and will keep fingers warm in cooler weather)
- Dinner attire. Smart casual is suggested for dining. A jacket and tie are not necessary. Women may wear pants, a skirt and blouse, or a casual dress. Cocktail dresses are not necessary.
- Women: a scarf or light jacket to cover bare shoulders when visiting places of worship
- Light jacket or sweater for evening
OUTERWEAR
- Waterproof rain gear: jacket, pants, hat or hood
- Windbreaker with hood (your rain gear may be suitable)
- Hat with a broad brim or visor
EQUIPMENT
- Daypack: large enough to carry water, camera, and extra clothing
- Water bottle or canteen to carry your water while walking. On Self-Guided Biking tours a Camelbak may be preferred as the bikes do not have a water bottle cage and therefore the bottle must be placed in the pannier while biking
