Sometimes life gets in the way and as your travels approach you don't feel quite as organised as you'd hoped you would be! Don't worry, this checklist should help, and you can also download our packing list for walking holidays and packing list for cycling holidays, or check out our blog for hints, tips, and advice.

Pre-departure information & your online account:

Check you have our information pack (which includes your accommodation itinerary and full details of your adventure). We'll email you when everything is ready in your online account, and aim to have any postal items with you at least 4 weeks prior to departure. Read the information carefully in advance.

Download the Macs Adventure App:

If your trip information has advised you to download the app to follow your route notes, make sure you do so, and follow these steps to load your daily routes to your smartphone or tablet device. Even if your route notes are not available on the new app yet, you can still download the app to benefit from rich, detailed mapping, and other features including the ability to record and share your routes, rate the trails, and share photographs. See more at macsadventure.com/app.

Let us know your travel plans:

If you haven't done so already, please let us know any flight or other arrival/departure times and dates, so that we can update our accommodation or transport providers. Contact hello@macsadventure.com.

Passport & visa requirements:

If you are travelling overseas, now is the time to triple check you have a valid passport and the correct visa for the destination you are visiting. UK citizens should refer to the Foreign Office Website.

Travel Insurance:

It is a condition of booking with us that you have your own travel insurance which includes cover for all activities featured as part of your trip. Read our advice, or speak to any reputable broker or insurer.

Health advice:

The NHS Fit for Travel website has comprehensive health information for travel, general information on vaccinations and advice on staying safe in various countries. Check with your local GP surgery if you have any concerns.

Have a safe & healthy trip:

Please read our Adventure Safe - Having a safe and happy holiday leaflet, which is packed full of helpful advice to help you have a safe and enjoyable trip.
