Step-by-step

A typical Kytrix day trip

The steps below describe a standard mainland family day trip. School, youth and private hire trips follow the same pattern, just with more organiser involvement.

1

Choose your trip

Browse the trip list, check dates, pickup points and what’s included.

  • Look at the trip description for who it suits (ages, mobility, group type).
  • Check what’s included in the price: travel, ferry, tickets, extras.
  • Confirm pickup towns and approximate times will work for your group.
2

Book your seats or request a quote

Either book individual seats online, or request a quote for a group/private hire.

  • For public day trips, book directly online once services launch.
  • For schools, youth groups and clubs, request a quote so we can plan around your needs.
  • Pay securely and receive a booking email with your reference and key details.
3

Get ready for travel day

We send reminders; you sort bags, snacks, kids, and double-check timings.

  • We’ll send a reminder email with pickup times and any last-minute notes.
  • Pack small bags, any required medication, and child seats/boosters if needed.
  • If anything important has changed, let us know as early as you can.
4

Meet at your pickup point

Arrive 10–15 minutes early, board calmly and listen to the short briefing.

  • Arrive at the pickup point a little early so boarding can be calm, not rushed.
  • The driver will greet you, check you in and help organise luggage.
  • We do a brief safety talk before moving off.
5

Ferry crossings (for mainland trips)

We plan around real ferry times and typical delays so the day still flows.

  • We travel together to and from the ferry as a group where the trip includes crossings.
  • Our timings include buffer for normal queues and minor delays.
  • If there are significant changes, we’ll explain what’s happening and what it means for your day.
6

Enjoy your time at the destination

You enjoy the attraction or venue while we focus on the timetable and vehicle.

  • We confirm where and when we’ll meet for the return journey.
  • Where possible, the same driver stays with your group for the whole day.
  • You enjoy the visit; we keep an eye on traffic, ferries and timings in the background.
7

Travel home

We get you back to the Island and your original pickup points as calmly as possible.

  • We aim for a calm, steady journey – especially with tired kids and adults.
  • We use the same or clearly explained drop-off points as the morning.
  • If there are traffic or ferry issues, we’ll keep you updated as plans adjust.
8

After your trip

You share feedback, we improve routes, timings and future trips.

  • You’ll often receive a short feedback request – completely optional but very helpful.
  • We review comments and adjust timings, pickups or even destinations where it makes sense.
  • If something went wrong, we want to know so we can sort it and learn from it.

Key details

A few important topics in more detail

Safety & behaviour

We build safety into the routine: walkaround checks, sensible driving, clear briefings and expectations about staying seated while the vehicle is moving.

Safety information
Accessibility

We want you to have enough information to decide if a trip is right for you – including steps, seating, door layouts and typical luggage setups.

Accessibility on trips
Luggage & prams

Space is planned carefully. Day trips usually allow a small bag per person plus foldable pushchairs. Bigger loads need a conversation before booking.
