Curated Trips
What are curated trips?
Curated trips are professionally crafted itineraries created by the HipTrip editorial team. Unlike AI-generated trips (which are personalized for you on demand), curated trips are hand-built and reviewed to be exceptional examples of specific adventures.
They're a great starting point — you can explore them for inspiration, save ones you love, or use them to get a feel for what a destination is like before generating your own custom plan.
Browsing curated trips
Browse the full library at /trips or from your dashboard's Explore Curated Trips section.
You can filter by:
- Trip type (hiking, biking, mixed)
- Difficulty level
- Duration
- Destination
Each trip card shows the destination, type, difficulty, duration, best season, and an editor rating.
Saving a curated trip
Click the Save button on any curated trip to add it to your saved trips. Access your saved curated trips at /dashboard/saved.
