I’m just back from my 3rd Flashpack trip and whilst I didn’t think it was possible, they keep getting better! Escapism in the Philippines is clearly a well worn track given the popularity of the trip and it was just exceptional - our group bonded so well and very quickly and we all had the best time together! The itinerary allowed a perfect balance of seeing the beaches and the islands as well as the more inland areas of the Philippines and the hotels selected were wonderful.

Rupert as a pack leader was so brilliant - he made everyone in the group feel welcome and was very inclusive. He spent his free time during the trip to give us additional experiences, and was consistently offering options to go above and beyond what was in the planned agenda.

Thank you once again to the whole Flashpack team for everything you do in order to offer solo travellers these life experiences and opportunities. I couldn’t be more of a supporter of the Flashpack team / brand and can’t wait to book more trips in the future!

I had the best time on this trip!! All of the people I met, the fellow travelers and our guide, were so nice and I had a great time spending time with all of them! I felt like the trip was the perfect mix of activities. I had a blast and would definitely recommend to a friend!

Chile: Santiago to Patagonia was my 4th Flashpack adventure and the stunning beauty of the country exceeded my expectations. The trip itinerary provide the right balance of culture based activities, and challenging physical activity that allowed us to explore the various regions of Chile that each have something unique to offer. Francisco is definitely the best pack leader I’ve experienced. He listened to the group, and offered moments tailored to us! From coffee stops in the morning for the “coffee snobs”, to adding in different stops for pictures, creating separate tour options for injured travelers, and even scheduled a full day excursion for those of us who were staying in the area after the tour ended. Francisco is hilarious, personable and incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Chile. If you get Francisco as your guide, be prepared for an amazing trip!!

I just experienced my second Flash Pack, this time in Sri Lanka, and it was absolutely amazing in every way.

Each hotel was beautiful and thoughtfully chosen, offering everything you could need while fully immersing us in Sri Lankan culture. The activities were incredibly varied. We dined with a local Sri Lankan family, cooked our own meal, hiked breathtaking landscapes, toured vibrant fish markets, explored rich cultural sites, and connected with an amazing group of people from around the world.

The true success of the trip, however, was our pack leader, Ash. He was the perfect combination of fun, kind, knowledgeable, and organized. Anyone lucky enough to have Ash as their leader is in for an unforgettable experience.

I am already looking forward to my next adventure. A huge thank you to Flash Pack for continuing to create such well organized, thoughtful, and joyful experiences around the world.

I did the vibrant Colombia tour recently. Our tour guide Yohan was fantastic, along with Pablo who was with us for a couple of days in Medellin.

Unfortunately we had a small group, only five of us. Was hopeful more would join, and only knew it was a small group post booking. Couldn’t be helped, and we all still made it a fun trip but I think a bigger group would have seen more nights out/higher vibes etc.

I’ve done two Flash Pack trips, Moab and Iceland.

Iceland was magical. We went north of the Wall, saw black sand beaches, and hiked on glaciers.

Moab was red rocks, big skies, desert silence.

One of my fellow Flashpackers said it best: it’s summer camp for adults.

The people on both trips were excellent. You’re paying a premium for a curated experience, but you get driven everywhere and the guides are best in class.

This was my first experience with Flashpack.
I picked untamed Costa Rica and was extremely happy with the holiday.
We white water rafted, swam in waterfalls, rapelled, visited the Cacao farm saw lots of the amazing wildlife.
I booked an extra Wildlife tour which I would highly recommend. We saw several Sloths 'up close' through the telescope, Toucans and Iguanas. Those guys were amazing how they spotted the wildlife for us so quickly

Our Flashpack tour guide was Joe. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and made everything easy. The group was fairly small with only 5 of us but it made it easy to get to know everyone.
I loved staying in the Rainforest lodge and the white water rafting guys doubled as our chefs and cooked the most delicious meals.
Thoroughly recommend this trip if you're thinking about doing it.

traveled solo and left with some of the most amazing friends. The group dynamic truly made the experience, kind, supportive, fun, and adventurous in all the right ways.

Every hotel was fantastic, and the recommendations provided by our trip leader at each stop made everything seamless. Oat went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after and having the best time, going above and beyond to organize extra experiences for us, making navigating the Phuket traffic fun, and keeping the energy high.

The excursions were incredible and unique, the kind of experiences I wouldn’t have been able to organize on my own if I had traveled solo. The addition of local guides at different stops was such a thoughtful touch. I learned so much about each location while still getting that perfect balance of adventure.

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, beautifully curated by Oat and Flash Pack. I couldn’t recommend it more.

This was my first flashpack adventure. The island hoping and excursion was truly spectacular. I am truly amazed and impressed with Rupert’s kindness, hospitality and sincere self. His crew also exceeded my expectations. He made sure all the pack members had a wonderful and safe adventure. I am truly blessed because he gave me the best Valentine’s Day ever!! Rupert help set up a candle light beach dinner for me a so I can propose to my fiance. It was truly magical. I cannot ask for a better pack leader. I hope I take him with me to my next adventure

From the moment when I arrived to the Philippines and to the very the last second until my departure-Rupert has given my fiancée and I a memorable adventure. His hospitality exceeds beyond my expectations. He is such a wonderful caring host. He made sure all the flashback member’s needs were met. It was my first time traveling to the east and I was very nervous. He made the trip seamless. He has entertained us with his this beautiful experiences and showed us how magical the Phillipines is.
My fiancé propose to me on Valentine day and Rupert helped him made it possible. I am truly grateful . We were also feeling under the weather at one point during our trip and Rupert made sure we were well taken care of. Rupert is truly a wonderful pack leader

The Flashback Chile/Patagonia trip was an overall amazing experience. The activities were well planned and offered a good variety. Numerous hikes, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, a vineyard visit, and group dinners/outings were very fun. Accommodations were excellent. Francisco was an outstanding guide and provided all with a great trip. He had a great personality, was knowledgeable, helpful and provided great advice, funny, very approachable, and is highly recommended! Highly recommend this trip and Francisco made it even more amazing!

I want to begin by saying that my expectations for Flash Pack were set extremely high after traveling with Yohan as my first guide on the Vibrant Colombia trip. I’m not sure anyone could surpass that experience, but I can honestly say that both tour guides for Vietnam and Cambodia (Hai and Chenda) came very close in their own distinct ways. Both guides are extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced. Each brought unique strengths to the trip. Hai is exceptionally thoughtful and proactive—he seems to anticipate everything in advance, which allows guests to relax and think less. Chenda was warm, considerate, and worked very hard to ensure everyone had a great experience throughout the trip.
This trip was jam-packed, but in the best possible way. I truly felt that I saw a great deal of Vietnam and a meaningful portion of Cambodia, with the highlights continuing to build as the days went on. I absolutely loved the overnight hotel experience in the bay, the Vespa food tour in Saigon, and the sunset gondola ride in Cambodia. I’m sure there are additional moments that will stand out as I continue to process the experience.

I’ve just finished my second Flashback tour (Vietnam & Cambodia) and loved every minute of it! Our guides, Hai and Chenda, were truly outstanding — always available, helpful, approachable, and incredibly personable. They consistently went the extra mile and made sure everyone felt cared for and supported throughout the journey. I recommend them 100%.

Hai (Vietnam) added a wonderful personal touch by filming our experiences and creating a video at the end — such a thoughtful gesture and beautiful memories to take home.

Chenda (Cambodia) continued to support me even after the tour ended, as I stayed on longer. She helped organise and recommend a guide for further exploration — she was an absolute gem

I have recently returned from the 12 day Escapism in the Philippines tour, which was my first with Flash Pack. It was an incredible, 10/10 experience, and one I will never forget. I can’t recommend this trip enough- it was a dream come true.

Our pack leader Rupert Andres was absolutely fantastic and cannot be faulted. Having been on group tours with other companies, Rupert stood out as someone who is truly excellent at his job. He went above and beyond at all times to make sure that that we all had the best time, dealing with any issues (such as a cancelled internal flight) calmly and always with confidence. We felt in the safest of hands with Rupert.

Rupert’s knowledge and passion for Filipino culture and food stood were the cherry on the top of a really well thought-out itinerary. Rupert took the time to get to know each of us, and was very happy to help us all with travel plans after the organised tour had ended. A real gent. All of the local guides we met along the way were equally fantastic, and it was a pleasure to meet them all.

Our group of 8 really jelled, and it felt like the perfect sized group for a 12 day trip. The trip itself was a perfect mixture of exploring tropical islands and adventurous activities. I was particularly impressed by the food (thanks to Rupert’s recommendations, which were always spot on). Highlights for me were camping under the stars in Ginto Island and stand up paddle boarding in Bohol.

I would recommend this trip to anyone, and will cherish the memories of it forever.

Wow wow wow flashpack you were awesome so was Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰. This was by far the best most organised tour with like minded people I have ever been on. We would get off our bus straight into
Tuk Tuks or a Safari truck they were literally waiting for our arrival. It’s worth the extra money: accommodation, food first class. Our group is still in contact from all around the world. Could not have asked for a better leader thanks to Razz proper top bloke right there.

Recently came back from the Vietnam/Cambodia trip. Was a fantastic adventure with so many highlights (Halong Bay, Hoi An, Moped tour in Saigon, Angkor Wat). Was a lot of travelling but necessary for seeing so many sights in such a fascinating part of the world. Special shout out to our guides, Hai in Vietnam and Chenda in Cambodia. Both were really helpful and made the trip so special with their attentiveness.

I just returned from the Domincan Republic. Wow! With the curated itinerary and our incredible tour leader (Gipsy), we were introduced to the vibrant culture, people and places of the Dominican Republic. Gipsy was so knowledgable, passionate and thoughtful. She helped us to have amazing experiences and create meaningful connections.

The Tanzania trip was insane! The itinerary was perfect, packed with plenty of activities and then ending on the beaches of Zanzibar to decompress was done well. This was my 3rd FP trip and Lenny was far-and-away THE BEST pack leader! We did not have one single issue and I can't imagine that was all luck. I could tell he was subtly mitigating concerns and quietly reading the group so he was excellent at anticipating all our needs and course corrected seamlessly.

I had the time of my life exploring vietnam. The guides were top notch and went above and beyond from start to finish. The trip was expertly paced, offering a seamless mix of planned events and delightful moments. It was an intensive trip that kept the momentum going from the beginning and I even added a few extra days at the end to unwind. My first flash pack trip and definitely not my last.

I’ve done two trips with Flash Pack now, one to Norway and I just got back from Colombia, and both were outstanding in every possible way. The tour leaders truly make the experience, but the accommodations, food, and activities are all top-tier. Everything feels thoughtful, seamless, and special. I’ve already planned my third trip, I’m officially hooked!
