Dipaways was born from a feeling.
Not just travel, but a quiet tug for something beyond checklists, tourist traps, and a few good selfies. On his solo journeys, our founder Dricks Everette craved a more refreshing kind of journey. Real culture. Real connection. The kind that shifts something in your spirit, lingering long after the suitcase is unpacked. Turns out, he wasn’t the only one.
What began as one traveler’s search became a home for curious souls everywhere. Since 2018, Dipaways has been curating luxury private vacations and immersive group getaways across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Each one is rooted in care, culture, and community. We build on trusted local relationships and do our part to uplift the underserved communities we visit.
Picture sipping fragrant mint tea with new friends as the Moroccan sun sets over ancient medinas and winding alleys. Learning to make a secret pasta sauce in a seaside Italian kitchen with a sweet but fiery nonna we’ve known for years. Gathering under the starlit Ghanaian sky for a private chef dinner and DJ set, with Afro-beats and laughter as your soundtrack.
We believe travel should feel good.
You deserve to dance barefoot on warm sand around a beach bonfire in Brazil, the ocean breeze mingling with drums. That is why every Dipaways experience is designed to help you slow down, feel cared for, and truly savor where you are. To reconnect with the world, with others, and with yourself.
Recognized among the Top 10 Best Adventure Tour Companies worldwide, Dipaways welcomes friends, families, and anyone who travels not just to see the world but to truly feel it. The kind of trip that leaves you refreshed and glowing, like you just took a dip.
