Doctor's orders… vitamin SEA! There's no risk of an overdose and the side effects are only positive. 🌊🏝
Service providers we recommend (e.g. flights, transfers, car rental, accommodation, local activities or restaurants) have not provided us with any benefits for being listed in our itineraries. 💁
With our itinerary no guide assigned from a travel agency will dictate you how to spend each day of your vacation. 😅 You won't have to adjust to a random group of people. 🚌 If you don't like an activity recommended in the itinerary, you can simply skip it or replace it with a different one. 😉 https://soda.travel
Guess how to save time and effort. 🤔 Yes, with our itinerary. 📲 Because we don't want to exhaust you through an exhaustive description of your destination. 😵💫 You will not have to study any long text pages. You can enjoy your stay straight away. 😍 https://soda.travel
What you will not find in our itinerary is useless stuff. 😏 You can see location photos on our website, Facebook, Instagram or even better... make your own. 😉 And as for history and demography, you can read more from countless credible sources on the Internet. 🤓 https://soda.travel
Our itinerary offers practical tips related to car rental and driving, local language and customs, health and safety or weather. 🤓 https://soda.travel
“Watch a sunset, at least once a day.” - Phil Dunphy, Modern Family 😆
The routes you take to places like this are already accurately calculated (distance, time) in our itinerary and listed with a link to Google Maps. 🚙📍🗺 https://soda.travel
50% OFF on all itineraries! 🥳 Hurry though, while stocks last! 😆 https://www.soda.travel/en/blog/summer-sale
The length of stay as defined in most of our itineraries refers to the ideal case when you can leave for 2-3 weeks and want to explore everything we recommend. 👌 However, you can choose the length of your stay as you prefer. ⏳ Just customize the contents of the itinerary to your shortened or extended stay. 😊 https://soda.travel
In a clear list, our itinerary precisely recommends which services and where to book before you travel (yes, clickable links). ☝️ For example, in the itinerary you will find recommendations of various accommodation facilities in a location we have chosen strategically. 🗺🛎 Before you book, you can check reviews online and see that we only recommend quality accommodation. 🥇 https://soda.travel
In our itineraries all the activities not to miss and places to see are organized by days. 🗓 They are also ordered according to the recommended route if a road trip is suggested. 🚙 So you won't have to search for optimal routes (as for your location and possible distances) before you travel. 🤔⏳ https://soda.travel
Clickable links make our itinerary easy to use, it is not just an electronic copy of a paper book. 📱🤓 https://soda.travel
A short walk from the beach of Las Canteras... just in time for sunset. 🌅
Typical white houses decorated with flowers in a harbour close to a long sandy beach. Bienvenido/-a a Puerto de Mogán! 😍
There’s only one cathedral in the Canary Islands and although you might jump to quick conclusions here, this isn’t it. 🤔 Just a parroquia - parish. 🤓
When driving around Gran Canaria, stop in Teror, which is a small town with historic center and basilica, not a state of intense or overwhelming fear. 😆
This desert is the dessert of Gran Canaria. 😉
Picturesque enough? 😍

When in Gran Canaria, rent a car and explore the inland mountain range with steep roads, breathtaking views and picturesque towns… 🚙
Wandering in and around the old town in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria…
Any paper guide takes up space and is impractical. 🤷 Our itinerary is in electronic form (EPUB file) and you always have it with you in your smartphone. 📘📲 You can use it in any app for reading e-books in EPUB format, such as Apple Books. The text automatically adjusts to the screen size. 🤓 https://soda.travel
What makes for a perfect day trip? A short and easy hike to Roque Nublo with amazing views of the surrounding mountains, after a somewhat challenging drive on the steep and crooked but well maintained roads of Gran Canaria. 😊
When I was looking for a beach adventure within EU in November, this 3-km (2-mile) long stretch of sand in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria delivered above expectations! ⛱️😎
You can make the most of our itineraries if you have internet access while traveling. Avoid roaming fees and get an international data SIM card. 📲 https://bit.ly/online-abroad
Fifty shades of green… 😉
When in Vancouver, you might find yourself paralyzed by the wide selection of beaches you can choose from. ⛱️☀️

Taking the unbelievably steep Peak Tram on Hong Kong Island for effortless bird-eye view of Hong Kong from the Sky Terrace 428 at the Peak Tower. 👀😅 The tram rises to 396 metres (about 1,300 feet) above sea level. 🚋 It is so steep that the buildings you pass look like they are leaning a gradient of between 4 to 25.7 degrees! 😵💫😁
Taking a look out of the window at @intercontinental. During our one week stay in 📍 Singapore it rained every day. For a bit… 😅
Strolling along the beaches in 📍 Seminyak and around… ☀️😎 TBH, not my preferred beach area when in Bali. 🤷♂️ The beach clubs and sunsets are great, though! 🌅
Hike to 📍Güigüí Beach - they said. It will be fun - they said. 👍🏼 What they forgot to mention was that it would be hell of a sweaty hike 😅 and… that if you stopped at 📍Mirador del Balcón on your way back, you could also squeeze the perfect sunset in! 🤩

Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
Travelling in a random group with a guide and regular hotel resorts never suited us. Vacations to destinations we wanted to visit were either overpriced or poorly organised by travel agencies.
Although we never had much time to spare, we started to prepare our holidays in detail ourselves. First, we travelled mainly to the U.S. – across the States from east coast to the west, later to Florida and Hawaii. Then we headed in the opposite direction... to New Zealand, Fiji, South Korea, Australia and Cook Islands. We are currently planning a sightseeing road trip in Japan.
You can find our photos and videos from these trips on this web page and also on Facebook or Instagram. We also publish videos on YouTube.
Since we knew from experience that we can plan and organise a vacation very well, we set up a travel agency which exclusively offered tailored trips. For three years we were providing all kinds of travel services to our clients. For the journey we always equipped them with a detailed, leather bound itinerary.
Unfortunately, the conditions for operating a travel agency in the EU do not correspond to the time we live in and English-speaking travellers usually like to arrange for vacation on their own. That is why we decided to offer our regularly updated itineraries in electronic form instead.
And that is how soda and the smart itineraries for independent travellers were born.
Try to make your travel dreams come true with our itinerary. To begin with, we finalised the itinerary for Hawaiian Islands. Later we will add more: Florida, New Zealand, Fiji, Cook Islands, cities of Australia - Sydney and Melbourne (and their surroundings). We have travelled to and in all these destinations ourselves, most of them several times.
While on vacation in Hawaii you can explore all four largest islands or you can choose just some of them. Hawaii is our heart and soul. In winter you will most likely meet us there.
The itinerary for Florida is structured as a classic road trip. We have planned a round trip during which active discovering meets beach lounging. And it works perfectly.
Vacation in New Zealand is a road trip par excellence, accompanied by amazing local activities and even decent adrenaline for those brave enough. The itinerary will guide you across both islands. From New Zealand it is only a few hours by plane to Fiji – the match made in heaven.
We offer the itinerary for Fiji as a stand alone e-book because this beautiful archipelago is certainly worth a separate visit. We have mapped a number of various accommodation facilities on different islands. There is plenty to choose from. Fiji is also recommended in combination with New Zealand or Australia.
Should your heart desire ultimate relaxation (might get quite active as well), let us recommend a well-deserved visit to Cook Islands - Rarotonga and Aitutaki. Our itinerary will take you to the stunning lagoon of Aitutaki for longer than the usual one day trip offered by regular travel agencies.
The itinerary for Australia includes Melbourne, Sydney and their surroundings. This stay is perfect for those who are afraid of driving because you will not need a car at all. For more tropical climate, combine Australia with Fiji which you can reach in four hours by plane.
From the itinerary for Hawaii you can also choose just one or less than four islands. The same applies to other destinations. In Florida you can take a shorter round trip and you can limit your stay in New Zealand to one of the islands or take an extended trip in the north. More information and various alternatives can be found here.
Similarly it is possible to combine different itineraries and individual destinations within one vacation.
And if you wish to return from your vacation as a married couple, in Hawaii, Fiji or Cook Islands you can arrange a wedding according to the itinerary.
Cestovanie v náhodnej skupine so sprievodcom a bežné hotelové rezorty nám nikdy nevyhovovali. Dovolenky do destinácií, ktoré sme chceli navštíviť, nám cez cestovné kancelárie prišli predražené alebo zle zorganizované.
Hoci času sme nikdy nemali nazvyš, začali sme naše dovolenky detailne pripravovať sami. Zo začiatku sme cestovali najmä do USA – krížom z východu na západ, na Floridu a na Havaj. Potom sme sa vydali opačným smerom – na Nový Zéland, Fidži, do Južnej Kórey, do Austrálie a na Cookove ostrovy. Aktuálne plánujeme spoznávačku v Japonsku.
Naše fotky a videá z týchto ciest môžete nájsť tu, na našom webe alebo Instagrame. Videá zverejňujeme aj na YouTube.
Keďže sme zo skúsenosti vedeli, že dovolenku vieme veľmi dobre naplánovať a zorganizovať, založili sme cestovnú kanceláriu, v ktorej sme ponúkali výlučne individuálne dovolenky na mieru. Našim klientom sme počas troch rokov zabezpečovali všetky služby a na cestu sme ich vždy vystrojili detailným itinerárom, viazaným v koži.
Podmienky prevádzkovania cestovky na Slovensku však nezodpovedajú modernej dobe a anglicky hovoriaci cestovatelia si väčšinou radi dovolenku zabezpečujú sami. Preto sme sa radšej rozhodli naše, pravidelne aktualizované itineráre ponúkať všetkým cestovania chtivým v elektronickej podobe.
A tak sa zrodila soda – smart itineraries for independent travellers.
Skúste vaše cestovateľské sny zrealizovať s našim itinerárom. Na začiatok sme sfinalizovali itinerár na Havajské ostrovy. Následne budeme pridávať ďalšie: Floridu, Nový Zéland, Fidži, Cookove ostrovy, veľkomestá Austrálie - Sydney a Melbourne (a ich okolie). Všetky tieto destinácie sme sami precestovali, väčšinu niekoľkokrát.
Počas dovolenky na Havaji môžete navštíviť všetky štyri najväčšie havajské ostrovy, alebo si vybrať len niektoré z nich. Havaj je našou srdcovkou a v zime nás tam s najväčšou pravdepodobnosťou stretnete.
Itinerár na Floride je vystavaný ako klasický road trip. Naplánovali sme okruh, ktorý sa nám výborne osvedčil. Intenzívne zážitky strieda plážové leňošenie.
Dovolenka na Novom Zélande je road trip par excellence, pretkaný krásnymi miestnymi aktivitami a v prípade odvahy aj slušným adrenalínom. Itinerár vás prevedie oboma ostrovmi. Z Nového Zélandu je to len pár hodín lietadlom na Fidži – skvelá kombinácia.
Itinerár na Fidži ponúkneme samostatne, pretože toto nádherné súostrovie stojí určite aj za samostatnú návštevu. Zmapovali sme množstvo ubytovacích kapacít na rôznych ostrovoch. Je z čoho si vyberať. Fidži odporúčame aj v kombinácii s Novým Zélandom alebo s Austráliou.
Ak máte záujem o ultimatívny relax, ktorý môže byť aj aktívny, odporúčame dovolenku na Cookových ostrovoch - Rarotonga a Aitutaki. Do nádhernej lagúny ostrova Aitutaki sa s našim itinerárom vydáte na dlhšie ako len jednodňový výlet, ktorý obvykle ponúkajú cestovné kancelárie.
Itinerár v Austrálii mapuje Melbourne, Sydney a ich okolie. Tento pobyt je ako stvorený pre tých, ktorí sa obávajú šoférovania, pretože auto nebudete vôbec potrebovať. Dovolenku v Austrálii môžete tiež skombinovať s Fidži, kam sa lietadlom dostanete už za štyri hodiny.
Z itineráru pre Havaj si pokojne môžete vybrať aj len jeden alebo menej ako štyri ostrovy. Rovnako to platí aj pre ostatné destinácie. Na Floride môžete absolvovať aj kratší okruh a pobyt na Novom Zélande môžete obmedziť na jeden z ostrovov alebo na severe absolvovať rozšírenú cestu. Viac informácií a rôzne alternatívy nájdete tu.
Podobne je možné kombinovať rôzne itineráre a jednotlivé destinácie spojiť v rámci jednej cesty.
A ak sa z dovolenky chcete vrátiť ako manželia, na Havaji, Fidži alebo Cookových ostrovoch si môžete podľa itineráru zariadiť svadbu.
