About Us

Dalani aims to cultivate a safe, inspiring, engaging, and educational travel community. We specialize in carefully curated group trips because we believe that the lack of travel buddies shouldn’t hold you back from exploring the world.

How We Started

Our Journey

We believe there is nothing as empowering and fulfilling such as filling your life with experiences, and Dalani’s mission is to make that possible with every trip we curate. We understand that travel is an investment in yourself, and our mission is to make it an eye-opening and life-changing experience for all our travelers. We encourage you to step outside your comfort zone, introduce you to unique experiences, and connect you with like-minded people. Every Dalani trip is filled with bucket list experiences, a carefully curated itinerary, and a diverse travel group to share the experience with.

We challenge barriers to travel such as high costs by offering flexible payment plans, “no-one to travel with” by creating a community of solo travelers, and lack of travel experience by tapping into years of travel knowledge from our hosts and local partners to ensure that each trip is hassle-free for our travelers.

Our travel experts are here to provide you with travel advice and carefully curated group trips.

Transferable Deposit

Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes plans change. We understand that and offer the option of transferring your deposit to another trip within 6 months of your booking.

We Give Back

As a socially responsible organization, we empower local tour guides and work with small businesses from each destination. We are also proud of our philanthropy work – for every trip booked, part of the proceeds goes towards a foundation we started in 2023 for the girl child to donate 80 sanitary pads to a girl in need.
