We spend time curating an awesome series of themed events, networking and experiences to make your trip unique and memorable.
Do you have to take part in everything? Absolutely not!
We want to offer as many inspiring and educational experiences for you as we can. But, if you’ve got a busy work week or just want to chill out, you totally can (and should!).
Themed Programs
Because the world is too awesome not to get involved
Each trip we design an exclusive program of experiences, curated to the destination. Hacker Paradise themes give you the chance to get involved in the local scene in an authentic way and make exciting new connections.
These experiences include networking events, panels, workshops, and excursions integrated with local organizations and experts.
Trips will include:
- Local networking events
- Entrepreneur panel
- Hands-on workshops
- Local influencer talks







Professional & Personal Development
Make yo'self even more awesome
Whether you’re focused on developing your career, or getting clear on your personal goals, these programs have always been super-important for us at Hacker Paradise.
We keep it casual, but impactful.
Trips will include:
- Goal Setting Sessions to get focused
- Reciprocity Rings to ask for help
- Side Project Night to share and collaborate
Cultural & Travel Adventures
Fill that insta with only the best
We’re all about finding the balance between the must-see attractions and local experiences. Check items off your bucket list like snorkelling with whale sharks in the Caribbean or learning to kite surf in Cape Town, as well as discovering local hole-in-the-wall cafes, hidden waterfalls and underground karaoke bars. Our full-time, on-trip team will help you discover adventures in every location using an unbeatable combo of insider knowledge and kick-butt detective skills.
Trips will include:
- A big weekend activity
- Short sightseeing trips
- Opportunities to connect with the local community

Social Time
Because if you're not coming for a coffee date or karaoke night, who even are you?
Seriously, though, community time is at the heart of the Hacker Paradise experience. There are always group activities throughout the day, depending on the group’s interests and what’s happening in location. Our participants say they start as strangers and go home with family.

Trips will include:
- Orientation session
- Group lunches
- Potluck dinners
- Social night outs
- Walking tours
- End-of-trip crew party (sob!)
Workshops
Life is boring if you're not learning stuff
We run workshops AND co-create them with you. We’ll teach you what we know (graphic design, how to nomad, digital marketing, etc.) and you’ll teach us what you know (robots, hot sauce recipes, how to make a cosplay costume from what’s in your kitchen, etc.). Is any interest too weird? Nope.
Trips will include workshops like the following:
- Intro to local language
- How to nomad and build your career
- Life skills: #adulting
- How to not do crappy design
- Writing with impact
- Marketing and advertising for dummies
- Tech-wonderland (yes, someone will teach you what Blockchain is)
