Of course! We are not babysitters and love our sober supportive friends. Hooked is all about inclusion.
It really depends on what group you are on. Our Sober Local City tours are 2 – 8 participants. Our HOOKED exclusive trips are 6 – 16. If we are hosting a trip with a ‘Special Guest’ the numbers can do up to 100 +
With participants joining groups from all over the world our pricing is based once in destination. If you need assistance with flights we are part of an accredited travel agency and can 100% assist.
Heck No. We have no intention of telling half the population they can’t travel with us. Women travel more than men in general and our trips will typically have more female participants, but all genders are welcome. Hooked is all about inclusion.
No. Hooked travels we are in different places constantly. We do not provide self-development structured activities. HOWEVER… we are all about self-development. It simply happens naturally as you travel the globe with like-minded people experiencing new people, places and things.
Mocktails are VERY important to us! When only ‘pop’ is on the menu as an alcohol-free option it makes us feel small. We research cruise lines and restaurants that have extensive mocktail offerings. After all our hard-working participants deserve to feel included in celebrations and have something fancy in their glasses when it comes time to toasting!
Typically participants are in the 40 – 70 age bracket. People that might have had kids… that are now older and it’s the golden time of doing things for themselves. That being said we just launched our Dry Grad program. The age range listed above does not apply to the Dry Grad program.

My wife and I had a great experience with Hooked On Travel! It was a shorter trip but well planned and thought out. So much more fun traveling with a group as well. I would highly recommend Hooked On Travel to ANYONE. I'm looking forward to booking a longer trip in the near future. 🤠

I went on the Thailand grad trip last summer. Easily the best trip of my life. Everyday had something new to offer.

Recently returned from the AF tour to Germany . It was excellent! Informative and eventful. Small group which is ideal. Got to know so many wonderful people that I look forward to seeing again. If this tour goes again next year...jump on. You will not be disappointed!

Darci Murray at Hooked Alcohol Free Travel is a true gem!! 😍 My husband and I joined the first ever Non-Alcoholic Wine Tasting Tour to Germany and Austria with Hooked this past October and it was absolutely life-changing!! We tasted more than 3 dozen incredible non-alcoholic wines at 5 different wineries and even an abbey! When we weren’t galavanting through vineyards or sitting down with generational winemakers, we were touring castles and beautiful cities with rich histories on foot. Walking tours are our FAV so that was a highlight!!! Together, we made history, redefined travel, completely reframed the activity of wine tasting, and in the words of Darci, “proved that the best buzz comes from being fully present.” My husband and I can't wait to take many more alcohol-free adventures with Hooked!!!

Shout out to Darci for putting together an amazing tour, the first of its kind - an alcohol-free wine tasting tour - Germany and Austria! Everything she organized was seamless, comfortable, informative, interesting and FUN! I went solo for my first time with a group I didn't really know and they were all so welcoming and amazing, especially Darci. I highly recommend this tour. In the future, I plan to take another excursion! And I can't wait!

Epic Adventure, Sober and Unforgettable! Our trip to Alaska was absolutely incredible. It was my first cruise ever and what an experience. As someone who has not had alcohol since 2016, I can honestly say this was the most fun I have ever had sober. From the breathtaking landscapes to the unforgettable onboard experiences, every moment was full of adventure, laughter, and pure joy. This trip was truly life changing and it reminded me that you do not need alcohol to have the time of your life. If you are considering an alcohol-free adventure, connect with a Hooked experience. You will not regret it.

Taking my granddaughter on the Hooked Dry Grad Thailand trip was unforgettable. From temple tours and browsing the Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, to snorkeling in Koh Tao, rock climbing in Krabi, and an unforgettable seven-day volunteer experience at an elephant sanctuary, every moment was incredible. Watching the grads immerse themselves in new places, meet locals, and grow through these adventures was a joy. Darci led us with energy, patience, and heart, creating an experience I’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Darci, for giving these grads (and me!) such an incredible adventure.

So glad to have had the opportunity to visit such an amazing part of the world. Experiencing the food, culture, language and traditions opened my eyes to a totally different side of the world than anything I’d ever seen before. Every part of the itinerary was well thought out and planned to perfection. From the street food tour that took us through the streets of bangkok to the time we got to spend at the elephant sanctuary. Every aspect of the trip was thought through and I saw more of every destination in a couple days than I ever would’ve in weeks by myself. So glad I got to spend my summer with a great group of people in such great place. Left with not only memories and new experiences, but also new life-long friends and a brand new outlook.

My trip to Thailand was nothing short of transformative. As someone who had never travelled outside of Canada, taking that next step definitely made me nervous. The vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and warm-hearted people immediately captivated me. Every moment felt like a discovery, from exploring ancient temples with intricate hand done carvings, wandering through markets filled with exotic aromas and vibrant colours to shredding elephant poop to make carpets!! The genuine smiles and welcoming nature of the Thai people touched my heart and opened my eyes to a different way of living. I found myself more present, more appreciative, and more connected to the world around me. This trip was more than just a vacation; it was a learning experience that has reshaped my perspective on life. It has motivated me to seek out new adventures, embrace different cultures, and live with a greater sense of gratitude. Thailand will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am forever grateful for the memories and lessons it has given me. Thank you so much to Darci Murray for giving me this amazing opportunity. You’re the main reason that I was able to gain confidence and push myself to be my best!! You’re attitude constantly fills everyone’s cup and radiates to the people around you!!! #Fullypresentand100%alive
