点评:Every part of this trip was so well organized right from the time of booking. It is not something you could just plan on your own - the very detailed instructions in our hiking pack stopped us from getting lost more than once, although the trails are well marked. We were there at end of season (were the last hikers of the year for many of the B&Bs), so we didn’t run into other hikers on the trails.
Hillwalk was very responsive to any questions I had - they even booked an extra night for us at the starting point of our hike (Killarney), which I would highly recommend. It gave us a cushion in case we ran into flight delays (which we didn’t), and we so appreciated the extra time to enjoy Killarney and all the sights there are to see there.
There were 4 of us (2 couples), all around 50 years old. We did the 5-day moderate Kerry Way (Ireland) hike, which was really 3 days of actual hiking. We are all in decent shape, but hadn’t trained for the hike. It was just right for our ability levels, definitely not easy, but that’s what we wanted. Their descriptions of hike difficulty, ability levels, etc were very accurate.
The 2nd day of our hike was very long with 1000m elevation (up and down mountains, not good for anyone with knee or ankle problems, especially if it had rained). It took us 10 hours. So we felt like we had really accomplished something!
This was my first time with a B&B/luggage transport hike, and it was so great. We loved the challenge of the hike, the incredible scenery and being able to really experience Ireland in a way you’d never get from your typical tourist routes. And being able to have somewhere warm and dry at the end of each day was perfect. Expect the rain, this is Ireland. We were ready for it!
The hosts were incredible. All B&Bs were high quality, comfortable rooms, delicious food, and experienced and catered to hikers.
We will use Hillwalk again, it was worth every penny.
翻译:从预订开始,这次旅行的每个部分都安排得井井有条。这不是你可以自己计划的事情——我们的徒步旅行包里有非常详细的说明,让我们避免了多次迷路,尽管路径标记得很好。我们是在季节结束时到达那里的(对于许多 B&B 来说,我们是今年最后的徒步旅行者),所以我们在路上没有遇到其他徒步旅行者。
Hillwalk 对我提出的任何问题都非常积极——他们甚至在我们徒步旅行的起点(基拉尼)为我们预订了一个额外的晚上,我强烈推荐。这为我们提供了缓冲,以防我们遇到航班延误(我们没有遇到),我们非常感谢有额外的时间来享受基拉尼和那里的所有景点。
我们一共 4 个人(2 对夫妇),年龄都在 50 岁左右。我们参加了为期 5 天的中等强度的 Kerry Way(爱尔兰)徒步旅行,实际上是 3 天的实际徒步旅行。我们身体状况都不错,但没有为徒步旅行进行过训练。这对于我们的能力水平来说刚刚好,当然并不容易,但这正是我们想要的。他们对徒步难度、能力水平等的描述非常准确。
我们徒步的第二天非常漫长,海拔 1000 米(上山下山,对膝盖或脚踝有问题的人来说不太好,尤其是下雨的时候)。我们花了 10 个小时。所以我们觉得我们真的完成了一些事情!
这是我第一次参加 B&B/行李运输徒步旅行,感觉非常棒。我们喜欢徒步旅行的挑战、令人难以置信的风景,以及能够以一种在典型的旅游路线上永远无法获得的方式真正体验爱尔兰。每天结束时都能找到一个温暖干燥的地方真是太好了。期待下雨,这就是爱尔兰。我们已经准备好了!
主人太棒了。所有的 B&B 都是高品质的,房间舒适,食物美味,经验丰富,为徒步旅行者提供服务。
我们会再次使用 Hillwalk,物有所值。
