Not what I expected

Trying to put myself into the place of someone not originally from this area, it could be a nice adventure. But where I expected to be going and where I ended up were two completely opposite places, and the fact it was 20 min away from house kinda took the joy away from the mystery road trip idea. Hoping I have better luck next time.

We're sorry to hear that it was a little too close to home! For your next adventure, please feel free to reach out for suggestions that will take you a little further away, or check out our trip map which indicates where each trip takes place :)

Happy travels!

Incredible!!!

I do a monthly envelope of experiences for my husband and family and included 3 adventures from you this year.
The waterside Bliss was well planned, spacers great timing wise allowing for us to really enjoy our get away. It’s just so nice to get in the car and go…and an amazing distraction from day to day life.

Great day on the water

We had a fantastic day on the Waterside Bliss trip! There were enough optional trips to go back another day. It was a really fun experience. We had been to the main town before but not the attractions suggested so it was new to us. The last stop was a blast because we met new people and enjoyed sitting outside in the beautiful weather.
