Solo Holidays

No problem at all. There is no supplement for solo travellers as long as you are happy to share a room with someone of the same gender. If you’d prefer to have your own room there will be a charge. This charge will be noted on both your itinerary and on the individual trip page, or feel free to contact us to confirm price when checking single room availability.

Single – A room for one person, available for an additional supplement and usually allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Double – A room for two people with one bed.

Twin – A room for two people with two separate beds.

Single rooms are offered on most of our trips but these are limited so are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. It’s no problem to book a single room as long as there is one available. Please not that single rooms do incur a single supplement. Find out more about the price for a single room in the trip dossier. After making your online booking, please contact our Sales Team in order to book your single room.

It’s impossible to know in advance what the make-up of a particular trip will be but in general, the majority of people that join our group trips are solo travellers. This means that there most likely will be a few solo travellers on each trip. If you have questions about who you will be travelling with then give us a call and we can give you a quick overview.

We don’t offer self guided trips for solo travellers. However, our small group trips are very popular for those travelling independently. If you would like to join one, don’t hesitate to browse all our adventures here.

Everyone’s definition of “last minute” varies slightly, but we do offer places on selected trips close to departure. Solo travellers are often well suited to last-minute bookings—especially on lodge-based tours like our retreats, where rooms are available right up until the trip departs.

If you’re considering a last-minute solo holiday, we recommend contacting our friendly team to check availability. If there’s space on the trip, you’ll likely share a room with another traveller of the same gender, though single rooms may still be available on some departures.
