What we’re about
Our Group Mission is:
1. Bring together a group of people who love to explore NYC. Our group is dedicated especially to fun activities outside of the typical NY bar scene(which means many times alcohol and a bar might be present, we dont want to totally discriminate, haha). There is so much to do in New York and we plan to bring you best of a variety of events.
2. If we can't host/plan and event, we still want to be your source for great things to do in NYC. We will be sending out a daily email of the Top Things To Do each day(most will be free too!). The email will also be archived on our message board so people can comment and gather there. If we cant host the event ourselves, we still hope members can reach out and get together. ****Please not if you do not wish to receive our daily email, you can adjust your settings so you do not get the email ***
We are all about fun, social, and networking. Events will be in a melting pot of different things, kinda like our great city. Look forward to meeting you!

A slower-paced, small group trip through Iceland…
Small group: There are only 11 people maximum on this trip allowing us to do some unique experiences that the big groups cannot.
No rushing!: Our trip is 11 days so you can take your time to truly take in the beauty of Iceland instead of cramming everything into 5-6 short days and no rushing in and out of a bus at each stop.
Hot springs: In addition to the must-see Blue Lagoon, cleanse your body & soul in some less crowded hot springs that we visit.
Hobbit hotel on top of the world: Stay in a traditional turf house at the highest settlement in Iceland.
Beer spa & jacuzzi: Soak in wooden, beer-filled jacuzzis overlooking breathtaking mountain ranges all while sipping on your favorite glass of lager.

Jordan Trip! - Oct 2025

• Cost: $3250 (per person, excluding international flights)
• Single supplement: $650

Journey through time in Jordan in a small group… Discover the ancient city of Petra, sleep in the Martian domes in Wadi Rum, float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, and haggle for treasures in Amman’s souks. Jordan has something for everyone and our 9-day small group trip includes it all!
A rose-red city half as old as time: Experience Petra twice, including a mesmerizing candlelit night visit!
Double the adventure in Wadi Rum: Wadi Rum is a major highlight in Jordan so we do 2 nights here unlike most groups who just do 1. This means plenty of time for unforgettable activities such as a hot air balloon ride, stargazing, a wild jeep safari, just to name a few!
Sleep in a Martian dome!: Go glamping in the middle of Wadi Rum in a bubble tent with huge windows, perfect for stargazing. We’ve found the perfect camp far from noisy traffic, offering some of the best views right from your dome tent!
Get healed in the lowest place on Earth: The Dead Sea’s waters are mineral-rich with many healing properties. It’s impossible not to float… So try to sink; we dare you!
