    Wilderness Ireland's Assurance

    Our operating procedures are aligned with the guidelines provided by the Government of Ireland, which means it’s simple to keep up to date with our rules and regulations. You can find the current guidelines here: Covid Public Health Guidelines – Ireland. It is important to note that guidance for Ireland may differ from where you live and other countries you may have travelled to, so please be sure to review these carefully in advance of travel.

    At present, our standard terms and conditions apply to all our trips as there are no restrictions on travel. However, in the event that this changes and our ability to operate trips is affected, we will be in touch to discuss your options. As always, we have a diligent and friendly team that is happy to answer any questions that you may have.

    The Covid 19 Safety Charter 

    We love Ireland and we love welcoming travellers to this part of the world to show you places that you wouldn’t normally see.

    The Covid 19 Safety Charter is the industry standard that has been created by tourism authorities in Ireland to show that we, as a business, have followed the government and industry guidelines, have an updated risk assessment in place and have the processes in place to maintain cleanliness and aid social distancing. This charter also applies to hotels, restaurants and other tourism businesses to assure you, as a customer, that you will see the same high standards of Covid-19 awareness and hygiene practices wherever you travel in Ireland. Businesses in Northern Ireland operate under UK’s similar ‘Good to Go’ scheme.

    Your Trip with Wilderness Ireland

    Traveller Responsibility Read More

    The safety of everyone on the trip is our top priority. If you do feel unwell with Covid symptoms at any point during the trip, we ask that you please let your guide or a member of the Wilderness team know as soon as possible.Mask-wearing is a personal choice.

    We encourage both our guests and our guides to do what feels best for them; leaving the decision to wear a mask to the individual. We ask all travellers to be conscientious and courteous towards everyone on the trip, respecting personal space and individual decisions around mask-wearing.

    If for any reason, you need to leave your Wilderness trip, you will be responsible for any personal costs incurred, including additional accommodation and travel. We therefore strongly suggest that you have adequate insurance to cover you in this instance.

    What We’re Doing Read More

    While adhering to all Irish Government guidelines, we are also continuing to implement important covid preventative measures.

    On trips, any equipment you are given will be yours throughout the trip. Our vehicles are subject to enhanced cleaning, with hand sanitiser being readily available for passengers.

    While each accommodation will have slightly different arrangements, it is important that we adhere to their guidelines. This is also applicable to restaurants and cafes. Our guides will do their best to inform you ahead of time if there is any significant procedure that you should be aware of prior to arrival.

    Insurance Read More

    It is always important to have adequate travel insurance. We believe that peace of mind when travelling is paramount to enjoyment, and therefore actively encourage all our clients to ensure they have the correct insurance for their specific needs. We are not able to advise on travel insurance policies and therefore ask that you contact your preferred insurance company directly.

    In addition, it is worth double-checking your policy’s stance on travel disruption, including delays and cancellations. The Association of British Insurers has a Q & A is a useful tool, and while more relevant for travellers from the UK, still raises useful questions to put to any travel insurer.
