Our Senior Travel program has exciting opportunities for adults ages 50 and better. We’ve designed this program to meet a variety of interests and comfort levels. Take a day trip that explores a Bay Area city, like San Francisco or Santa Cruz. Pack your bags and visit a charming U.S. city on our domestic extended trips. Or take a longer vacation to international locales. Enjoy new experiences and meet new people from your community and around the world.

We will update you about new day trips and extended travel when you sign up for our mailing list.
