Question 1

Do I have to be sober/fully alcohol-free to be able to join a trip?

Accepted Answer

Dry Tripping Travel is built for anyone who wants to travel without alcohol in the picture, whether you're sober, sober-curious, taking a break, or just prefer trips that aren't centered around drinking. Some trips do require full sobriety to attend; when that's the case, it's always noted in the trip description.

Question 2

Is this trip suitable if I'm traveling alone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Many of our travelers come solo. Group trips are designed to be welcoming and inclusive, making it easy to connect with like-minded people.

Question 3

Is this website only for people in recovery?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Our trips welcome everyone, whether you're sober-curious, alcohol-free for health or personal reasons, in recovery, or simply someone who doesn't drink. Some trips have a stronger recovery focus, so check the individual listing for details.

Question 4

Are all guests alcohol-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all guests on our trips are alcohol-free for the duration of the trip. That's kind of the whole point! It creates a space where everyone can connect authentically, and actually remember the magic.

Question 5

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We understand that plans sometimes change. Here's our cancellation policy:

Within 48 hours of booking: Full refund
After 48 hours: Deposit non-refundable
More than 60 days before the trip: Full refund minus the deposit
30–60 days before the trip: 50% Refund of the balance
Less than 30 days before the trip: No refund

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your booking in case of unexpected circumstances.

Question 6

How does the deposit work?

Accepted Answer

The deposit is 25% of the total trip cost and is set at booking.  A paid deposit secures your spot. How it's charged depends on the listing type:

Instant Book: the deposit is charged immediately.
Confirm First: the deposit is authorized while the host confirms within 24 hours. If the host declines, the authorization is released in full.

The remaining balance is due 60 days before the trip start date, or immediate if the trip starts within 60 days of booking.

Question 7

Can I room with a friend?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes! Room sharing with a friend depends on the specific listing and accommodation setup. Check the listing details, and if it's not clear, you can reach out to us. We're happy to help arrange this where possible.

Question 8

Do I need travel insurance?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend getting travel insurance for all trips. It's usually not included in your booking, so you'll want to arrange this separately before you travel. It can cover unexpected cancellations, medical situations, and other hiccups that are simply out of everyone's hands.

Question 9

What happens after I request to book?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the listing type:

Instant Book: your spot is confirmed immediately.
Confirm First: the host has 24 hours to review and confirm your request.

You'll receive email updates at each step!

Question 10

Is transportation included?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the trip. Some listings include airport transfers or group transportation, while others don't. Check the Includes / Excludes section on each listing for exactly what's covered before you book.

Question 11

How do I contact my host?

Accepted Answer

Once your booking is confirmed, your host's contact details are shared with you so you can coordinate directly. For anything else, email us at hello@drytrippingtravel.com and we'll help.

Question 12

What does “alcohol-free” mean on Dry Tripping Travel?

Accepted Answer

Every trip listed on Dry Tripping Travel meets our Dry Tripping Standard: alcohol isn't included in the price, there are no alcohol-centered activities on the itinerary, and each host clearly states whether the environment is fully alcohol-free or has alcohol present but not central to the group experience. Either way, you'll know exactly what to expect before you book.

After 48 hours	deposit non-refundable
61+ days before departure	remaining payments refunded 100%
