This special women-only departure is a full-on backpacking adventure, where we are self-sufficient and carry our own equipment for the first three days, sleeping in our own tents along the way.

What do I need to bring

Remember that everything you bring you will have to carry on your back for the entire hike. Try to pack as light as possible while still bringing everything you need. Please note that we provide the tents. We use two person tents and therefore you are expected to share with one other person. If you would like a tent to yourself then you can rent a 1 person tent. Please select this option during the booking process. Warm outdoor clothing including hiking pants and warm upper layers. Please avoid cotton as it keeps you cold when wet and takes a very long time to dry. Waterproof jacket and pants. Hiking boots. Please use waterproof high-top hiking boots, which provide ankle support. Hat and gloves. Backpack. It needs to be around 50-60L. Big enough to carry all of your belongings, including your sleeping bag and your share of the food. Sleeping bag rated to at least 0°C. Down is best since it packs smaller than synthetic. Sleeping mattress. A thin inflatable one is best as it easily fits inside the backpack. Personal medical kit i.e. band aids, throat lozenges, lip salves, seasickness tablets etc. Don't forget your personal medication, which you may need (e.g. Asthma inhaler, even if you don’t always need it). Sun glasses. Sunscreen and after sun cream. Binoculars are nice to have for watching wildlife. (Optional). Water bottle. Don't forget your camera!
