ASHLEE

I WOULDN’T HAVE HAD THE CONFIDENCE TO TRAVEL SOLO IF IT WASN’T FOR HAVING DONE A TOPDECK TRIP MYSELF WHEN I WAS 19...

Doing the tour opened up a world of travel I could never have imagined.

REAL MOMENTS CAN’T BE PLANNED...

I was skeptical our group wouldn’t see Norway’s famed ‘midnight sun’ upon arriving at a grey, very cold and drizzly Nordkapp (AKA THE TOP OF THE WORLD).

But it was someone’s birthday, so we pulled out sparklers and party poppers and we counted down to midnight – just like New Year. We jumped about doing our “Sun Dance” and belted out Weather with You by Crowded House from the top of our lungs... UNTIL THE SUN FINALLY SHOWED ITSELF –lighting up the edge of the earth.

“Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you ”

OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE LIFE-CHANGING MOMENTS

for people unable to travel alone or would otherwise find it difficult to travel. We go beyond expectations to DELIVER THE MAGIC FOR EVERYONE, with very little exceptions.

Had the trip of a lifetime, met great people and saw stunning views. Couldn’t recommend Topdeck more!’

TRIP STYLES: Hotel / Hostel Plus

TRIP STYLES: Explorer / Hostel

6 MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA

TRIP STYLE: Explorer

TRIP STYLES

THESE ARE YOUR CLASSICS. The tried-and-tested (but the opposite of boring) formula. You know, the lifechanging trip you do when you’re wild and young. Packed full of remember-forever moments, all the best bucket list inclusions, loads of free time, the MOST AMAZING people – and like all our tours, complete with a Trip Leader dedicated to setting your world alight.

EMBRACE THE SOCIAL LIFE.

Book a Hostel Plus trip and your overnight stays will be filled with mixing amongst a bunch of like-minded people at the hostel bar, versing room 202 in a friendly game of pool or making a ‘must do’ list with your fellow Topdeckers over breakkie.

Rooms are single sex and multi-share (usually with a maximum of 6 beds). Towels and bedding are provided on all Hostel Plus trips. Yeah, you’ll have to call shotgun on the bottom bunk faster than your roomie and carry your body wash to the shower block but that’s part of the experience.

All our Hostel Plus accomm are either centrally located or close to public transport links. Meaning? You spend more time doing the stuff you came to do and less time in Ubers.

And sharing a room means you’re likely to have enough cash left over for that skydive you’ve been eyeing off!

Get a room. Book a Hotel trip as a couple or twosome and snag yourself a twin or double room to call your own. And if you’re going it alone? We’ll pair you with another solo traveller of the same sex.

In the USA and Canada, you can expect to stay in a combo of hotels, motels and lodges. Our Hotel trips in Europe stay in a mix of quality, character-filled hotels that are either smackbang amongst the action or right next to handy public transport links. That means: no rip-off taxi fares, no loooooong walks back to base and no getting lost (unless it’s on purpose).

Hotel trips are DESIGNED FOR TRAVELLERS WHO LIKE TO HAVE THEMSELVES A FEW CREATURE COMFORTS – without compromising on location or experience. Hotel rooms in some European cities and built-up destinations may be smaller than what you’re used to. But you’ll still get an en-suite. And maybe even a hairdryer. Minds will be blown.

STYLES WAYS TO STAY

MAYBE YOU’VE DONE THE BIG EURO TRIP AND WANT TO delve deeper INTO YOUR FAVE DESTINATION. Or you’re obsessed with somewhere new and want to experience it wholly. Or you’ve seen our Bravo Italia trip and went ‘sh*t that looks good’. Point is – our Explorer range gives you more free time to do what you want to do.

With a max of 30 passengers (but averaging closer to 20), our Explorer trips are made for travellers chasing a more intimate experience. Explorer trips offer more time to (you guessed it) explore. More free time to head off the tourist trail. More free time to immerse yourself in the local culture. More getting lost in the moment.

From Kenya to Bali, all our Explorer trips have an awesome AF local guide at the helm – ready and waiting to provide you with tips, tricks and recommendations specific to the region.

And the accommodation? You’ll stay in a mixed bag of hotels, guesthouses, hostels, safari lodges, homestays, overnight trains, boats, desert camps – equipped with the essentials you need in a good base to start exploring. Share with your bestie, lover, new Topdecker roomie or pay extra to fly solo in your own room.

A PIRATE’S LIFE

FOR YOU. Our Sailing trips are all about the perks of travelling by sea: dips in aquamarine waters, Game of Thrones-style scenery and time to chill top deck (literally) with your new crew.

Let’s talk boats. Our Dubrovnik Dreams trip includes travel on a Traditional wooden boat - think cosy bunk beds and rustic common areas. Our Croatian Riviera trip offers the choice between Traditional or Plus boats: Plus boats come with extras like bigger cabins and hot breakfasts. All boats have twin or double cabins with en-suites and air-con. And if you really need it, there’s Wi-Fi when the engine is running.

Space is limited on board, so we suggest travelling light with a soft backpack or rucksack. Also, Mother Nature can be a fickle mistress, so itineraries are subject to change depending on weather conditions.
