Step 1: Choose Your Wander Weekend Package

Pick the package that best matches your vibe – from romantic escapes and babymoons to solo adventures, family fun, or road trips. Every experience will be carefully curated for your occasion, style, and sense of adventure.

Step 2: Tell us a Little About Yourself

We’ll email you a short Discovery Form to tell us your travel dates, preferences, and any must-haves. This helps us expertly design your perfect mystery weekend – tailored just for you.

Step 3: Receive Your Surprise Pack

Before you go, we’ll send a box of sealed envelopes and all the other essentials for your trip. No spoilers, just the thrill excitement building as the day of departure inches closer.

Step 4: Wander the Weekend

Follow the envelopes, enjoy your thoughtfully planned itinerary, and let every moment surprise and delight you. No decisions, no stress – just pure adventure and memories that last a lifetime.

Is this right for me if I don’t usually like surprises?

If you dislike uncertainty but love well-planned trips, Wander Weekends can still be a great fit. While the destination is a surprise, everything else is carefully tailored to your preferences, comfort levels, and travel style – from accommodation to activities and pace.

What’s included in the price?

Your Wander Weekend includes return flights (where applicable), accommodation, car rental, curated activities, a mystery dining experience, and a personalised itinerary. The price is for two travellers unless otherwise stated.

When budget allows, we’ll also include bonus meals, experiences, and delights that make your weekend even more memorable.

Why does it cost what it does?

Flights and accommodation make up the largest portion of the cost – but you’re also paying for time saved, expert curation, and a completely seamless experience. We research, book, coordinate, and plan every detail so you don’t have to.

What if I’m nervous about the destination being a surprise?

That’s completely normal – and very common. We carefully select destinations based on your preferences, travel style, and comfort levels. You won’t be sent somewhere that doesn’t suit you, or is impractical, unsafe, or low quality.

Many of our guests say this ended up being their favourite part of the experience.

How far in advance do I need to book?

All Wander Weekends require a minimum of eight weeks’ notice. This allows us to secure the best flights, accommodation, and experiences for your trip. However, we do occasionally have capacity to plan trips sooner, so feel free to reach out and ask before booking.

How long are Wander Weekend trips?

All of our trips are three days and two nights, typically departing Friday morning and returning Sunday evening. If you have specific timing needs, please include them in your booking survey. Our Luxury package offers more flexibility.

Can I choose my travel dates?

Yes. You choose your preferred dates when booking. We’ll confirm availability before finalising your itinerary.
