What kind of activities are you expecting to take part in?
We do not currently have a set programme for the trip. This will be decided on nearer to the departure date.
KISC have a wide range of activities available to us from Glacier Walks to River Tubing. We intend to take full advantage of our surroundings and organise activities that we would be unable to do in the UK.
