Well-Being On Tour
We have all adapted to this new world, where it’s imperative for us to take additional measures to stay healthy.
That’s why you can travel with us reassured that we have put numerous new measures in place to elevate our hygiene standards and protocols. The health and well-being of our guests and team have always been, and always will be our priority.
In this new, fast-changing Covid-19 era, we are doing all we can to adapt to new requirements and expectations. Here are some important new steps and procedures that we have implemented to enhance hygiene protocols and to give you the needed peace of mind during your travels in these new times.
Travel with confidence

Our Driver Guides have recently been trained in new and enhanced hygiene. They operate an enhanced duty of care and monitor the hygiene etiquette of our guests during our trips, reacting, and advising as needed to ensure high standards are maintained. We will inform you before you travel about new protocols required in these areas, and ask that you cooperate with and heed the advice and direction of our Driver Guides while on your tour. Our Driver Guides have preventative measures in place to try and ensure your well-being and in the event that any unexpected issues arise on tour, they will activate additional protocols.
It’s not just your Driver Guide who will be taking care of you. Behind the scenes, our operations and guest support teams are in contact with them and on-call 24/7, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.
Our coaches are sanitised before the start of your trip and have always been kept to very high standards. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, we have taken additional measures to elevate our hygiene and sanitary practices in accordance with guidance from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and as required, applicable government regulations.
Our Driver Guides are trained with the latest hygiene protocols and will clean and disinfect all surfaces including handrails, door handles, seatbelts, seats, air-conditioning filters and overhead lockers on a daily basis.
All our guests are asked to follow hygiene practices recommended by the World Health Organization including the thorough and regular washing of hands and sanitising when required. Hand sanitiser is available onboard for our guests to use throughout the day.
We are very selective in who we work with and choose to only use hostels, restaurants, ground handlers and venues that take the health and well-being of our guests as seriously as we do and agree to meet expected guidelines and specifications. We only work with establishments that we are confident will consistently adhere to our standards.
As part of The Travel Corporation, HAGGiS Adventures is kept up to date with all government advisories and travel alerts on a daily basis and is continually in touch with all of our partners on the ground in each destination. Also, rest assured that during your tour, our teams work to ensure our supplier partners (hotels, restaurants, museums, and other venues) are also applying the same standard to this new hygiene protocols, to the extent possible.
All our guests are asked to follow hygiene practices recommended by the World Health Organization and local Government guidelines.
- Regular washing of hands and sanitising.
- Please bring your own hand sanitiser.
- You need to make the Guide aware if you develop any COVID like symptoms.
