Each trip we design an exclusive program of experiences, curated to the destination and group, making every Hacker Paradise experience 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, plus opportunities to make exciting new connections. But, if you’ve got a busy work week or just want to chill out, you totally can (and should!).
Let's Level up
Professional & Personal Development
Whether you’re focused on developing your career, or getting clear on your personal goals, these programs have always been super-important to us.
Together with the community, we’ll co-create skillshares, hands-on workshops, networking events and goal setting sessions. We’ll teach you what we know, you teach us what you know — always casual, always impactful.
Past event examples:
- How dating apps work
- Getting that side hustle off the ground
- Cybersecurity for dummies
- Tech-wonderland (yes, we'll explain Blockchain)
- How to not do crappy design (your personal logo)
- How to break up with your phone
Building connections
The heart of the HP experience
What’s the fun in discovering hidden gems if you don’t have someone to laugh with about the real life moments in between? There will be a ton of bonding opportunities, all tailored to the group’s interests and what’s happening in the destination. Our participants say they start as strangers and go home with family.

Trips will include:

- Potluck dinners
- Social night outs
- Walking tours
- Welcome & Farewell crew party (sob!)
All The Adventures
Let's connect with our new home
While we’re all about the must-see attractions, we do also prioritize getting involved in the local scene for the more authentic stuff. There will be so many awesome adventures for you to discover — and our full-time, on-trip team will support you in doing it using an unbeatable combo of insider knowledge and kick-butt detective skills.
Examples of past adventures:
- Snorkel with whale sharks in the Caribbean
- Hot air ballon over the pyramids in Teotihuacan
- Visit local hole-in-the-wall cafes in Budapest
- Discover underground karaoke bars in Seoul
- Hike Lions Heads in Cape Town
