Mystery Trips
Mystery Trips
Have you ever wanted to go on a vacation without having to plan it? Would you like to have an adventure with no destination or schedule in mind? Do you love the idea of jumping in the car or getting on a plane and arriving at a destination already planned for you? Spontaneity keeps life refreshing, and this trip adds another element of excitement to your vacation.
Mystery Travel Planner
With Wanderland Escapes, Rebecca takes your trip to the next level and builds memories full of "that was soooo awesome." How does it work? First, you fill out a personalized survey form. This is where you give information about your budget, your days available, your interests, and your bucket list items to help Rebecca create an amazing and one of a kind adventure. Then the planning begins. Every aspect of your trip is kept a surprise until you open the mystery package.
About a week before your departure date, you'll get a list of supplies to pack, and information for what time to be at the car rental company or airport. Open the package, and off you go! Rebecca will pull strings and set up activities for you with her vast network of travel and adventure vendors.

With professional planning resources, you'll get the spontaneous enjoyment of a surprise trip without all the stress of figuring it out on the fly.

Flying out for a weekend trip isn't the most efficient option for some people. If you don't enjoy flying or only have a weekend to take off, that's totally fine. Mystery road trips are a great way to explore places that are relatively close to home. Depending on the length of time you have to drive into the great wide open, that will determine your destination distance.
