Cancellation policy

The percentages in the table above are of the full trip price, not of what you’ve paid at the time of booking.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of booking receive a full refund on all plans, including booking fees and insurance. After the 48-hour window, your refund depends on your selected protection plan and when you cancel. Core and Premium plans extend your cancellation rights beyond the Standard policy:

  • With Core, a covered reason gets you 75% of your trip cost back — even the day before you go.
  • With Premium, a covered reason gets you 100% of your trip cost back — and any other reason gets you 75%, right up to the day you leave.
What counts as a covered reason
  • Sudden illness or injury — yours, a travel companion’s, or an immediate family member’s, confirmed by a doctor
  • Death of a traveler or an immediate family member
  • A natural disaster affecting your destination or your departure point
  • A government travel advisory against travel to your destination

Changing your mind isn’t a covered reason. Premium is the only plan that covers that. Documentation is required for all insurance claims.

Everything the travel insurance covers

Both plans include travel insurance through Redpoint Travel Protection. Core insures 75% of your trip cost; Premium insures 100%.

Maximum per person:

  • Trip cancellation — up to 100% of your trip cost
  • Cancel for any reason — up to 75% of your trip cost (Premium only)
  • Trip interruption — 150% of the trip cost limit
  • Trip delay — $200 a day, $1,000 max
  • Itinerary change — $250
  • Single occupancy supplement — up to 100% of trip cost
  • Missed connection — $1,000
  • Travel inconvenience — $250 each, $750 max
  • Pet return — $1,000 per pet
  • Baggage and personal effects — $2,500, max $300 an item
  • Baggage delay — $600, after 12 hours
  • Baggage delivery — $100 per trip
  • Emergency medical expenses — $100,000
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation — up to $1,000,000

These are maximums. What a claim actually pays depends on what you can document and on the policy’s exclusions — pre-existing conditions and undeclared activities among them. We’ll send the full policy wording with your confirmation.

  • This 7-day all-women hiking tour is based on the Isle of Skye, with five full days of moderate walking across the island’s most striking corners. Starting in Inverness, we travel by minibus to Skye and settle into a small hotel on Loch Dunvegan, where we stay all six nights. That means no packing and unpacking. The walks follow coastal paths, old tracks, and some loose rocky trails, steering clear of high mountains and ridges. Breakfast and dinner are included every day, along with transport to every trailhead. Weather on Skye changes quickly, so your guide plans each day around the conditions and briefs the group every evening.

    • Arrive in Inverness, where we’ll all meet at 12 pm outside the train station. From there, we set off by minibus across the Highlands toward the Isle of Skye. The drive takes about four hours, including a few stops along the way. Once on the island, we check in to our home for the week: a six-room hotel on the shore of Loch Dunvegan, used only by our group. After settling in, we raise a welcome drink and sit down to our first dinner together, cooked over fire with ingredients grown on site or sourced locally.

      Meals: Dinner
      Accommodation: The Dunvegan

    • Our first walk takes us to the Quiraing on the Trotternish peninsula, one of the most unusual landscapes in Scotland. It was formed by the largest landslip in Britain, which left behind a jumble of pinnacles, cliffs, and hidden grassy plateaus. The walk is short but dramatic, and it’s a good way to get a feel for Skye’s terrain and for the group’s pace. Afterward, we round off the day with a scenic drive before heading back to Loch Dunvegan for dinner and a briefing on tomorrow’s plan.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
      Hiking: 7 km (4.3 mi)
      Elevation: +440 m (+1,444 ft) / -440 m (-1,444 ft)
      Accommodation: The Dunvegan

    • Today we walk a circuit to Rubha Hunish, the most northerly point of the Trotternish peninsula. The cliff-top path opens up long sea views, and on a clear day we can see much of the Outer Hebrides, including Lewis, Harris, and Uist. The old coastguard lookout here is now a bothy, and it’s a good spot to watch for whales, which are sometimes seen offshore. On the way back, we stop at an old castle and the Skye Museum of Island Life, and we may also meet some Highland cows.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
      Hiking: 7 km (4.3 mi)
      Elevation: +200 m (+656 ft) / -200 m (-656 ft)
      Accommodation: The Dunvegan

    • For the next three days, your guide picks the walks based on the weather and the group, and shares each plan the evening before. Here’s what we may get up to:

        • The Old Man of Storr: On this 5.7 km (3.5 mi) walk with +267 m (+876 ft) of ascent, we take the moderate route along the Storr Trail and skip the ridge. The trail leads to a rock pinnacle about 55 m (180 ft) tall, the remains of volcanic activity around 60 million years ago.
        • Boreraig and Suisnish: We walk to two villages that were cleared in the mid-19th century during the Highland Clearances. The route passes waterfalls, remote beaches on Loch Eishort where sea eagles are sometimes seen, and old industrial remains among wildflowers and orchids. We stop at a café on the way back.
        • MacLeod’s Maidens and Dunvegan Castle: A walk through a birch wood and along Loch Bracadale leads to the sea stacks known as the mother and her two daughters. Nearby is Dunvegan Castle, the ancestral seat of Clan MacLeod.
        • Loch Coruisk: If the sea is calm, we take a scenic boat trip from Elgol to one of Scotland’s most remote lochs, tucked beneath the Cuillin mountains, and return by boat.
        • The Fairy Glen: A wooded walk near Uig takes us among small grassy hillocks, past the rocky outcrop known as Castle Ewen and stone spirals laid out by visitors, with views back over Uig Bay.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

    • Enjoy a final breakfast together on the shore of Loch Dunvegan, then we load up the mini bus and drive back across the Highlands. We expect to reach Inverness Train Station around 1 pm, so book your onward travel for late afternoon to give yourself plenty of room. Plenty of time on the road to swap photos and trade notes on which walk was the favourite.

      Meals: Breakfast
