Preparing for your trip

1. Review your trip info
Download the Macs Adventure app in the App Store or Google Play Store and sign in to your account with the email you booked with. Your full itinerary, maps, and everything you need to know for each day can be found here.

2. Get trip-fit
Check your trip's activity level, then train for it. A simple plan: walk, run, swim, or bike for 30 to 45 minutes, three times a week, in the weeks before you go. Add hills and a loaded backpack if your trip has them.

3. What to pack
Every trip will vary as to what you need to pack, depending on where you’re headed and the season you’re traveling. For some essentials, review our packing guide and video done by Macs Adventure veteran, Christine.

4. Know before you go
Check currency, local language, phone and data options, weather, national holidays, food and customs, and how you'll get to your starting point. Your app info will cover the specifics for your route.

5. Tell us when you're arriving
Share your flight and arrival details with us at hello@macsadventure.com so we can plan your first day around them. Your luggage transfers run between stays, so you'll only carry a daypack on the trail.

Travel insurance is available from Travel Guard for US residents. To learn more, visit Travel Guard's website, or call Travel Guard at 866-385-4839.

You're responsible for having your passport, any visas, and all immigration documents in order before your trip starts. Check requirements with the relevant embassy or consulate. We can't take responsibility if you're unable to travel because the requirements weren't met.

Rules change, so double -check what’s needed before you go. We recommend a simple search on PVS International to check which visas are required for the place you’re traveling to.
