from your destination aren\u2019t included in the trip price \u2014 you\u2019ll need to book these independently. You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested timings, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":"Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into and out of Tallinn Airport (TLL).\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"Before 2pm ideally. The welcome meeting will take place at 4pm and your first activity will kick off at around 5pm.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"On your final day after breakfast, you\u2019ll travel from Vihula Manor Country Club & Spa to Tallinn Airport by road \u2013 a journey of about an hour. Due to the need to be at the airport at least two hours before your flight departs, you should book a flight after 1pm if you wish to join the included group transfer (see next FAQ for more info).\nIf you have a later flight, the transfer will then continue from the airport to Tallinn Old Town, where you can explore independently before making your own way to the airport when ready.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included? ","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nThis adventure includes a group departure transfer from Vihula Manor Country Club & Spa to Tallinn Airport or Tallinn Old Town, departing by 10am. To use this service, please book a flight that departs after 1pm on your last day.\nDue to the fixed transfer time, you may arrive at the airport earlier than you would typically prefer.\nIf your flight departs earlier than 1pm, you will need to arrange and pay for a private transfer (approximately 130 EUR for 1\u20132 people or 150 EUR for 3\u20136 people). Your Pack Leader can arrange this for you, or you can contact the hotel in advance at info.vihula@uhotelsgroup.com. You may be able to share the cost if others are in the same situation. Similarly, if you\u00a0extend your stay at Vihula Manor, a departure transfer will not be included.\nIf you choose to extend your stay in Tallinn Old Town instead, you can join the group departure transfer and be dropped off after the airport to make your own way to your chosen accommodation.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Please note that tips are not included in the cost of this adventure. Suggested amounts per person are:\n\nPack Leader: 10 EUR per full day\nDrivers: 8 EUR per full day\u00a0\n\nHowever, all tips (including restaurant tips) are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa?","answer":"Up-to-date visa and entry information can be found using our official partner, Sherpa, who can help you arrange a visa if needed.\nYou can also find essential travel advice \u2013 including security and local laws, as well as passport and visa information \u2013 on the government website of your home country:\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\nResidents of other countries: refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate.\n\nPlease be aware that passport and visa requirements can change before departure, so it\u2019s important to stay updated with the latest information.\n"},{"question":"What vaccinations and medication will I need? ","answer":"While we are not medical professionals and cannot offer personalised medical advice, we want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable adventure. Here are some tips to help you prepare.\n1. Consult with a healthcare professional\nWe recommend scheduling an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure. This will give you ample time to receive any necessary vaccines or medications.\n2. Up-to-date medical advice\n\nUK residents: visit the NHS Fit For Travel website for the latest medical advice.\nUS residents: check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for specialised health information.\nAustralian residents: refer to the Smart Traveler Health website for current medical advice.\n\n3. Government travel advice\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\n\n4. Medication tips\nIf you take prescription medication, ensure you bring enough to last the entire adventure, plus a few extra days in case of travel delays.\u00a0Carry a copy of your prescription with you in case you need to visit a clinic while abroad.\nWe hope this information will help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure.\n"},{"question":"What fitness levels do I need for this trip?","answer":"No specific level of fitness is required, we just want to ensure you are happy partaking in the activities like snowshoeing. We recommend having a read-through of the itinerary above, and getting in touch if you have specific questions on fitness.\n"},{"question":"Can my special dietary requirements be catered for?","answer":"Food allergies and special diets can of course be catered for on this trip.\n"},{"question":"How do the December departures differ?","answer":"With Christmas on the horizon, you\u2019ll also experience Tallinn\u2019s glorious Christmas market. You\u2019ll pass through the market on your way to ice skating on day 1, before being fully immersed in its festivities on day 2 when you enjoy food and drink stops at its stalls on your city food tour.\nFor the New Year departure, there will also be an extra dinner included on the 31st December.\n"},{"question":"What should I pack?","answer":"What you pack is personal to you and our list is certainly not exhaustive. If you have any questions about what to pack for your trip to Estonia, please get in touch with one of our friendly Trip Experts.\nBaggage\n\nA large backpack or suitcase \u2013 it\u2019s up to you whether you bring a backpack or a suitcase\nDay day bag for your essentials\n\nClothing\n\nActivewear \u2013 breathable and light materials are best as a base layer for most activities. Hiking tops are best as they have wicking properties that remove sweat, keeping you dry and warm\nFleeces\/jumpers\nScarf\/hat\/gloves\/buff\nSwimwear\nWhat you wear in the evenings is up to you, but you may want some nicer clothes for the evenings\n\nShoes\n\nWaterproof hiking boots\/shoes and socks \u2013 you\u2019ll be provided with plastic snowshoes to attach to your own boots during the winter survival skills activity, but warm and waterproof boots\/shoes will be useful for everyday wear\n\nAccessories\n\nElectricals and chargers, such as your phone, camera, chargers, etc\nPlug socket adaptors \u2013 the standard plug socket is type F.\nRefillable water bottle \u2013 refilling a bottle instead of buying single-use bottles will help to reduce our plastic footprint\nEye mask and earplugs \u2013 if you\u2019re a light sleeper, you may feel more comfortable bringing an eye mask and earplugs\nAny personal medication you require\nPersonal toiletries, including a toothbrush, deodorant, razors, hairbrush, etc\nShampoo and conditioner\nPainkillers\nAnti-bacterial gel\nLip balm with SPF\nMoisturiser\n\n"},{"question":"Will this itinerary change? ","answer":"Please be aware that the itinerary, activities, and hotels are subject to change. These changes are rare but can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control \u2013 but we\u2019ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to test new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting. We\u2019ll always try to let you know in advance.\n"},{"question":"Will there be an alternative activity to the husky sledding if there isn't enough snow?","answer":"Yes \u2013 the husky sledge safari is dependent on the snow conditions in Estonia, and during the months of November and December there is a possibility there will not be enough snow.\nIf this happens, we\u2019ve put together alternative experiences so you still enjoy a magical time:\n\nHusky Hike: Your activity takes place at the same beautiful venue and offers a similar intimate experience with these amazing dogs. You\u2019ll meet the huskies and learn about their history and unique qualities, before choosing your furry companion to join you on a scenic 3-km forest trail. Afterward, you\u2019ll also have the chance to visit alpacas and ponies, followed by a cosy tea break.\nMedieval Photography Experience: To balance the lower value cost of hiking vs sledding, we\u2019ve also included a fun and immersive medieval-themed photography session on another day of the trip \u2013 complete with costumes and props for a memorable (and very Instagrammable!) addition to your adventure.\n\n"}],"hotels":[{"name":"Hotel Savoy, Tallinn","short_description":"","description":"Voted \u2018Best Boutique Hotel in Estonia\u2019 three times in a row; Hotel Savoy sits pretty within a historic building at the very heart of Tallinn\u2019s cobblestoned, romantic Old Town.
