Frequently Asked Questions
What is the age range for this trip?
A lot of our trips have an average age of 21-45. However, ANYONE with a sense of adventure is welcome (though must be 18+).
What sort of accommodation will there be?
We stay in shared accommodation in twin rooms, and dorm rooms in boutique hostels, sharing with other members of the trip. While we strive to provide the best accommodation available in each location, please keep in mind that Craic On Travels is a budget-friendly adventure holiday provider.
Is this trip for me?
If you’re looking for an ‘active’ holiday full of daily adventures and new experiences, then this trip is for you (there will be plenty of time allotted to relax also so don’t worry!). Our itineraries are designed to make the most of your time, offering unique experiences you might not consider on a typical trip, meaning there will be long travel days in certain parts. If you’re ready to explore, stay ‘reasonably’ active, and step outside your comfort zone, then you’ll love traveling with us!
Which airport do I fly into?
For this trip you will be flying into Denpasar International Airport (also known as Ngurah Rai International Airport). This is the only major commercial airport in Bali.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our past legends had to say:

Trip of a lifetime
I had an amazing time on the Peru trip!! Me and my friend had been chatting about visiting Peru so it seemed like perfect timing when the Craic on tour popped up! I was excited to see Machu Picchu and to explore Peru in general but the tour absolutely exceeded my expectations. Everyone was so friendly and we became a tight group instantly. Danna was an absolutely brilliant local guide, anyone would be so lucky to experience the positivity, kindness and enthusiasm she has for showing off all that Peru has to offer! Colin did an excellent job of ...

Uganda Must Do Trip
🇺🇬I’ve just come back from an unforgettable trip to Uganda with Craic On Travels, and I can honestly say it was a 5-star experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, everything was so well organised and seamless. We explored multiple national parks on safari, each one completely different and just as breathtaking as the last. Seeing wildlife in their natural habitat was incredible, and spotting a lion in the wild was a real pinch-me moment that I’ll never forget. One of the absolute highlights of the trip was the added gorilla trekking experience — it is ...

Trip of a lifetime
Cannot thank Danna, Colin and all the team for organising such an amazing trip. Not sure where to start but everything from start to finish was seamless. To be a part of a group of such amazing and like minded people while exploring all Peru has to offer was such a privilege. This was my first trip with craic on travels and definitely won’t be my last. A lot can be said for good organisation, good value and most importantly good craic. We’ve made friends for life and can’t wait for the next one 🫶🏼❤️

Peru
Had an amazing time on the trip to Peru. In particular have to give a mention to our local guide Danna who is an absolute gem. I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone who is as good at their job! She was super welcoming, fun to be around, knowledgeable and the trip wouldn’t have been the same without her! It was an absolute pleasure to experience a country with such an amazing guide, thank you Danna 🙂 The trip was really well organised, everything went so smoothly, particularly on such a jam packed itinerary. Every evening we got ...

Unforgettable Peru Trip - June/July 2026
I recently travelled to Peru with Craic on Travels in June/July 2026, and it was genuinely the trip of a lifetime. Over the course of two weeks, we experienced so much of what Peru has to offer. From vibrant cities and beautiful beaches to national parks, dune-bugging and sand boarding in the dunes, trekking through breathtaking mountains and rainforest on the Salkantay Trek, stunning lakes, and, of course, the iconic Machu Picchu, every day brought a new adventure. The itinerary was packed with unforgettable experiences and gave us a real appreciation for the country's diversity, culture, adventure, and natural ...

Uganda 2026
Just returned from a fabulous trip to Uganda. We travelled the country with the fabulous Chris and Alonso and their knowledge of bird, animals, landscapes and vegetations is top tier. They truly made the experience so enjoyable and great fun. The trip was led by the fabulous Megan who had everything done very professionally. She made us all feel so welcoming and nothing was out of the question from her. It was a fabulous bunch to travel with. All i had to do was literally turn up. It was an amazing trip of a lifetime and would highly recommend ...

Simply the best!
I’ve struggled to put into words just how incredible this trip was. Before booking, I was quite nervous as I’d never done anything like this before. I made an enquiry through the website, and Colin got back to me promptly with all the information I needed—and more. From start to finish, the communication and organisation were excellent. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Craic on Travels more highly. Megan was a fantastic trip leader. She is kind, caring, and radiates positivity. You could tell she genuinely loved leading our group, and she did it brilliantly. No matter what question or query ...

Uganda June/July 2026
Just traveled Uganda with Craic on Travels, I’ve been on group trips before but this felt like traveling with a family. It was the most incredible experience, the itinerary was jammed packed, so well organised from airport transfers to travelling round the whole of Uganda. Our guides were with us from day 1 to the finally day, making us feel save & having the craic! Chris, Alonso our guides & our group leader Megan I couldn’t have of asked for better people to bring us around and learn about Uganda from. I’m so sad it’s over but I’ll definitely ...

Uganda trip
Uganda trip, June/July This has honestly been the best trip I have ever been on. From start to finish it has been so well planned out down to every little detail. I’ve honestly had the best time with an amazing team and a great group of people. To Alonso, Chris and Megan I want to say thank you so much for the work you all have done to make this the best trip possible. I would happily come back every single year with you three. Craic on have honestly got this trip to Uganda planned out perfectly, can honestly ...

The experience of a lifetime 🫶
I have just returned home from two incredible weeks in Indonesia with Craic On. Words can’t even describe the experience I had with my group and our amazing leaders, Fergus and Nicky. They both brought the perfect mix of knowledge, fun, and an all round great time to the trip. More importantly, they genuinely looked out for every single person in the group and somehow managed to make sure everyone was safe, happy, included, and having the best possible time — which, with a group of travellers on the other side of the world, deserves some sort of medal! ...

Bali June 2026
I had an amazing experience in Bali with Craic on Travels. The whole experience was seamless and extremely well planned. The itinerary, communication and group could not have been better. Our wonderful local guide Nicky was so kind, organised, full of knowledge and had the best recommendations for food and drink. A special shoutout to our incredible group leader Fergus, who was so friendly, accommodating and supportive while keeping spirits high, especially on long travel days.

Amazing holiday!
Such a fantastic experience! Fergus and Nicky really made the trip so special! Would highly recommend Craic on Travels to anyone looking to travel someplace new!

Bali and Beyond
I recently travelled to Bali and beyond with Craic on Travels. This was my second trip with Craic on Travels and it was another brilliant experience! All the activities were fantastic and we had plenty of time to do some exploring of our own. Everything was super organised thanks to our local guide, Nicky, and our tour leader, Fergus, who both brought the craic and good vibes to the trip! Would 100% recommend doing any trip with Craic on Travels!!

If Uganda isn't on your bucketlist then…
If Uganda isn't on your bucketlist then it needs to be! And if Uganda is on your bucket list then traveling with Craic On needs to be how you get there! Its my second Craic On trip and it was an absolutely transformative experience. The team made Uganda so incredibly safe and accessible while still being so so beyond incredibly fun! Can't recommend this country or this team enough!!!

Uganda 2026
Just back from Uganda with Craic On Travels. What an amazing experience! The country is so beautiful, the people are so friendly and the animal encounters on safari or just in the wild were incredible! Isabelle and Colin crafted a jam packed itinerary with the help of our local tour guides Chris and Alonso, who kept us safe on the road and in the parks, and our tour leader Meg, who made sure everything flowed seamlessly for us. The chosen accommodations were clean, spacious and had the tastiest food for us. The pineapples in Uganda are out of this ...

Uganda June 2026
I recently went to Uganda with Craic on Travels. Having already travelled to Kilimanjaro with them last year I had high expectations for the itinerary and group experience and I am so happy to say this trip excelled in all these areas. Our leader, Megan, was warm and friendly while our guides Chris and Alonso were the height of knowledge and professionalism. These trips provide the opportunity to visit such a unique country in a very ethical way. I cannot recommend Craic on Travels, and particularly their Uganda trips enough!

Unforgettable Ugandan Experience
This was my second trip with Craic on Travels. I travelled to Uganda with them and had the most incredible experience. A huge thank you to our tour guides, Megan, Chris, and Alonso, who made the trip so special. They were knowledgeable, supportive, fun, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an amazing time. Before travelling, I was a little uneasy about the Ebola outbreak in the region. However, Craic on Travels handled everything professionally and transparently, and I couldn’t have been made to feel more at ease. Our safety was always the top priority, and it ...

Uganda 13th-23rd June 2026
I had the opportunity to go on an 11 day tour to Uganda with Craic On and it was the best decision I have ever made! Honestly cannot fault the Craic On team or the organisers of the trip! As someone who is nervous to begin with in groups, Meg, the Craic On tour leader, made sure everyone felt comfortable and broke the ice so easily from the first night. Our trip was full of some of the most amazing people I have ever met and hope to see them again on another Craic On trip! The itinerary for ...

What an incredible trip through Vietnam…
What an incredible trip through Vietnam with Craic on travels! From start to finish, everything was brilliantly organised, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Our leaders Mi and Ayla were outstanding—knowledgeable, supportive, and always enthusiastic, making every day enjoyable and stress-free. What really made the trip special was the family vibe within the group. Everyone felt welcomed, included, and connected, creating friendships and memories that will last long after the trip ended. I couldn’t have asked for a better group adventure and would highly recommend it to anyone considering travelling Vietnam.

I had the best experience with COT
I had the best experience with craic in travels. We had a great tour guide Ayla who was like a friend to us by the end of the trip. I got to meet so many new people and we all got along so well I would highly recommend craic on travels and I will be traveling with them again in the future. Sooner rather than later
