For all the rest, we take your preferences very seriously! We’d love every traveller to be absolutely thrilled with their surprise travel trip.

The more information you include in the pre-trip survey, the more we know about what makes you tick when it comes to travel.

Plus, we only work with destinations and accommodations that meet our quality standards and are highly rated by independent reviews.

To keep the element of surprise and to ensure we can plan the best possible trip for you, we ask that you limit your choices to five destinations. Trust us; it’s all part of the adventure!

Pricing

Starting from $1,100 per person, The Surprise-ish Escape whisks you away for an unforgettable two or three-night getaway. If you’d like longer, please get in touch via our contact form, or let us know in the pre-trip survey.

If travelling over the weekend, we recommend making it a three-night trip to make the most of your trip. Not only is the extra relaxation worth it, but flight prices are often lower than during peak times, from Friday night to Sunday afternoon.

Either way – you set the budget, and we craft the experience to match! Your investment directly influences the calibre of your escape, with factors such as peak-season travel, preferred departure times, and accommodation standards all playing a role in what’s possible.
