CATEGORIESWhether you're planning a weekend getaway or an international adventure, Active Junky is here to help you save money and minimize headaches when you book your dream trip in 2020.
We all have dream trips—adventures that have been on our minds for years, expeditions we'd embark upon tomorrow if we could. But too many of us never see those dream trips come to fruition. Don't get us wrong: we know that trip planning is tough, travel can be expensive, and getting time off is a challenge in and of itself. That's why we offer all Active Junky members 4% Cash Back on Expedia travel packages: we want to help you save money and plan a dream trip for 2020. But before we get into the dream trips themselves, let's break down this dream deal.
Active Junky Members Earn 4% Cash Back on Expedia Packages
Looking for an excuse to take the trip of a lifetime? Here's everything you need to know about our travel deal with Expedia.
Trip planning, cost, and time off keep travelers from booking the trips of their dreams. Luckily, our deal with Expedia has you covered on all fronts. When you start your search at Active Junky, you'll earn 4% Cash Back on travel packages. And because you're booking a package deal (hotels and flights, plus a rental car if you need it), much of the trip planning is already done. And while we can't help you butter up your boss to ask for time off, you can book your vacation well in advance so that you can clear up your calendar.
How it Works: Sample Cash Back for Flights, a Rental Car, and a 3-Night Stay in Vegas
Let's say you want to stay at the extravagant Wynn hotel in Vegas for three nights from March 6th to the 9th. You need flights to Vegas from Denver for two, as well as a rental car so that you can go hiking and rock climbing in Red Rock Canyon.
If you didn't shop with Expedia, this vacation would cost $689 per person (as of January 2020). However, when you use Expedia's "Bundle and Save" feature, your new package price drops to $562 per person for a total of $1124. But that’s not all! When you start your search at Active Junky, you earn 4% Cash Back. After you complete the transaction for $1124 on Expedia, we will send you a check for $45 (for those who are nitpicky mathematicians, 4% of $1124 is actually $44.96). Put that cash on black at the roulette table, and that Vegas vacation might just pay for itself.
While all of these dream trips are eligible for Active Junky Cash Back, consider this list a jumping-off point. What's your dream trip? Do you want to go skiing in Montana? Snorkeling in Hawaii? Bird-watching in Mozambique? The sky is the limit. Make it happen on Expedia—and be sure to start your search at Active Junky.
Did you know that the iconic Las Vegas Strip is within a 30-minute drive to Red Rock Canyon? You can enjoy world-class climbing, mountain biking, and hiking during the day and still hit the blackjack tables at night. While few Vegas visitors venture far from the twinkling lights, savvy travelers get the best of both worlds.
Given its famed warm weather during the winter months, Fort Lauderdale is the perfect place to escape the cold. Just north of Miami, Fort Lauderdale also offers easy access to the Everglades. It's simple to fly into the coastal city, check into a hotel overlooking the turquoise waters of the Atlantic, and embark on day trips to the Everglades. Don't miss an airboat tour, where you'll zoom into the swamps and check out the local flora and fauna. Just don't fall out of the boat when you're snapping photos of the neighborhood gators.
If kicking back in a hot tub after a day of skiing deep snow sounds tantalizing to you, then we recommend that you head to Colorado this winter. Flying into Denver is a breeze—the trickiest part of planning a ski vacation in Colorado is figuring out which mountain to visit. Luckily, the Rocky Mountains are renowned for their steep slopes and plentiful powder, so wherever you go, you're in for a good time. Our advice? Visit Breckenridge, which is one of the closest mountain towns to Denver. And be sure to book a room at the Gravity Haus—a modern, boutique hotel that’s expressly designed for skiers and snowboarders with novel amenities like a Japanese-inspired onsen and an enormous trampoline.
Beachside Margaritas, tasty tacos, and warm waves—what more can you want? Puerto Vallarta is a short flight away from the United States, making it one of the more painless international trips you can take. While there are scores of beachfront hotels in Puerto Vallarta proper, the scene quiets down the further you get from the city center. And if waves are what you're after, the quiet surf town of Sayulita, located just north of Puerto Vallarta, is a terrific home base.
Portugal is downright cheap in comparison to the rest of Western Europe, but fair prices aren't the only reason to visit the rich, historic port city of Lisbon. Art museums, vibrant viniculture, and mouth-watering seafood all call travelers to the seaside capital. When you've had enough of the big city, cliff-lined beaches pepper the coast to the north and south. In the winter, take a trip down to watch courageous surfers charge the world-famous waves of Nazaré.
It's no wonder why people fall asleep listening to recordings of the rain forest—mother nature's orchestra plays no more relaxing concerto. And in the jungles of Costa Rica, relaxation and adventure go hand-in-hand. Fly into the hub of San José, then make your way into the verdant mountains. Spend your days hiking through the rain forest, ogling brightly colored birds, and diving into crystal clear swimming holes. And in the evening? Listen to the pulsing melodies of the jungle over classic Costa Rican dishes of casado or gallo pinto.
Pictures of the northern lights don't do the phenomenon justice. There's nothing like looking up at a night sky shimmering with ribbons of green, purple, and red. Iceland has blown up as a travel destination in recent years, due both to the cheap flights that land in Reykjavik and the incredible natural beauty of the region. The rugged fjords speak to hikers, skiers, and surfers alike, but the celestial light show that happens after dark will entrance travelers of all creeds.
