Pricing Inquiries

Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all price tag for our services. Since every itinerary is meticulously crafted to your desires, the cost will vary depending on your choices.
Our travel experts organise highly personalised trips tailored to your unique preferences and travel style. Although we will always aim to offer competitive rates, Trip and Trails focuses on creating high-quality trips with carefully vetted hotels, activities, and transportation.
We aim to provide the best possible value for your trip, including the service of your local specialist and on-the-ground support while you are travelling to ensure your trip goes smoothly.
Here are some key elements that will affect your final cost:
  • Destinations: Luxury destinations like private islands or remote locations tend to be pricier than readily accessible areas.
  • Travel Dates: Peak travel seasons often see higher costs for flights, accommodations, and activities.
  • Accommodations: Choosing opulent hotels, private villas, or unique experiences like overwater bungalows will naturally increase the cost.
  • Activities: Exclusive excursions, private tours, or indulging in Michelin-starred restaurants will factor into the overall price.
While we don’t have typical discounts, we can sometimes negotiate special rates with preferred partners based on your travel season and chosen destinations. However, the true value lies in the personalised experience and exclusive access we provide.
Transparency is important to us. Our pricing will include our curation fee, any pre-booked travel arrangements (flights, hotels, tours, etc.), and estimated incidental expenses. We’ll ensure you have a clear understanding of the breakdown before finalising your itinerary.

Luxury travel doesn’t have to break the bank. While we specialise in creating opulent experiences, we can also craft itineraries that prioritize luxury within your budget. Here’s how we can help:
  • Open communication: Be upfront about your budget from the outset. This allows us to tailor the itinerary with cost-conscious considerations, like suggesting alternative destinations during shoulder seasons or recommending luxurious, yet slightly less expensive accommodation options.
  • Prioritise experiences: Luxury isn’t just about five-star hotels. Discuss the experiences that matter most to you. Perhaps it’s a private cooking class with a renowned chef or a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife safari. We can focus on those aspects while finding value in other areas.
  • Finding hidden gems: Our travel specialists have an insider’s knowledge of destinations. We can suggest exclusive, yet less-hyped locations that offer a luxurious experience without the hefty price tag.
While we don’t offer a budgeting tool directly, we can certainly guide you through the process. We’ll provide a breakdown of estimated costs for different aspects of your trip (flights, accommodations, activities, etc.) This transparency allows you to make informed decisions and prioritise what matters most within your budget.
