Frequently Asked Questions

ALL AGES ARE WELCOME ‼️ every trip has a huge mix which is amazing because everyone gets to mingle and come together to have fun! We’re all girls at the end of the day, looking to explore and get out of our comfort zones so we already have so much in common! The vibes are always on point, trust me!

No, you need to obtain your own personal travel insurance to ensure you are protected. All the travel aspects of the trip are ATOL & ABTA protected via Hettie’s license but not for personal injury or illness, theft, accident or loss!

No. All trips are non refundable as the moment you book on, Hettie book and pays for all your travel aspects of that specific trip whether that be accomodation, activities, flights etc, so money cannot be refunded unless otherwise stated.

Most people come on a Hettie’s Holiday as a complete solo traveller, as it's a great way to meet new people and make new friends! And I promise you from the moment you meet everyone else you will click instantly because you already have so much in common, such as the desire to be spontaneous, be open minded and explore somewhere new! However, you most definitely can book on with a colleague, your mum, sister, bestie absolutely - I have had lots of ladies bring their colleague, coz you know there’s always that one person you vibe with at work but you want to take the friendship outside of work and create a stronger bond with, well yeah you can bring them! Also, people bring their mums to allow their mums to see new places and meet new friends - so they really are for all girlies from all different walks of life!
-
Yes, Hettie’s Holidays & Hospitality has its ATOL and ABTA license so if any of the travel was affected you are 100% protected.
-
It completely depends on your spending habits. Some people buy millions of souvenirs to take home and live it large on the cocktails! Whereas some people do not drink alcohol etc so it is really impossible to put a set figure on each trip for each individual. When the group chat gets made we normally discuss a rough idea of any additional extras or plans that we are thinking of that may cost more and give you a better idea what spending money to bring.
-
I totally get it, everyone is nervous but that is the WHOLE point! We are doing something really out of our comfort zone when we travel alone, and then also throwing in meeting brand new people but it is incredible for your self development. Solo travel and stepping outside your comfort zone is incredible for personal growth, self confidence, mental health and learning about yourself and who you are as a person! I promise you as soon as you do it you will be become addicted to it, I have had girls who were almost too nervous to book, but then have now gone on back to back trips and have said these group trips have changed their life! Also, as soon as you step into the room of other likeminded girls, the nerves will disappear very quickly, trust me - I’m an expert!
-
It is always top quality accommodation as we love the luxury lifestyle over here! I think all holidays should have that comfort and luxurious feel to them so we will always try to book the best possible within the budget of the trip, unless stated otherwise such as home stay or hostel if we are going for the party vibes and back packing experience, but this is only ever on the longer trips and will always be communicated at booking stage.
-
It is usually shared rooms but sometimes there is a single room supplement option available to book. It is a complete variety of single beds and double beds depending on the accommodation that I book. The rooms are always auto allocated, I like it to feel like one big sleepover, everyone getting ready together etc as it brings us all closer and night time is when some of the funniest chats and gossips happen.
-
They will never exceed 16 people as I like to keep them intimate so everyone gets a chance to mingle with everyone, no school trip vibes over here! But the average number is usually between 8-12 girls.
-
Yes! A group chat gets made with everyone going on the trip including the tour guide 1 week before we go for shorter trips, and 1 month before for trips over 3 days. These chats we can discuss what to pack, final details and get to know each other a bit before initially meeting.
