Our Trips Calendar
We’ve done our research. We know that lunch tastes better with a great view and there’s nothing like getting outside with a bunch of other fun people. That’s why we’ve made it our #1 priority to scout out the most social adventures around New York City. Ranging from whitewater rafting in the Poconos to brewery tours in the Catskills to rock climbing in the Shawangunks, our trips are designed to guarantee you the perfect getaway.
We also do custom trips for corporate outings, club trips, birthdays, international vacations, and more. Organize a group of 12 and you go for free!
