5 Tips for Traveling with a Big Group

November 17, 2021

Whether you’re travelling with your family or a big group of friends, it’s important to consider things that can make it easier to travel as a large group. The tips below can help you avoid stress and enjoy your time together while travelling: 

Discuss your plans together

The first thing you’ll need to do once the idea of going on a trip together has come up is to sit down and discuss your plans. If everyone has their own idea for things to do in Wilmington, North Carolina or wants certain things to happen on a trip to Miami, Florida, it could result in confusion, disagreements, and a lot of hassle.

Avoid travel hiccups by discussing the activities and places everyone wants to see, what the priorities may be for the trip, whether it’s to celebrate your grandparent’s birthday or enjoy a birthday party with friends. Making a plan together as a group is the best way to make sure everyone is excited about the trip. 

Designate people to handle various aspects

Designating someone to handle flight booking to putting another in charge of lodging is only one example of how you can streamline the vacation planning process. While you’re not running a business, things can get confusing with a large group of people. 

Whether everyone sends money over an app to the people in charge of reserving flights or hotels or you use another method for splitting expenses, having a couple of people taking care of the finite details can make sure everything goes according to plan. This can be useful when one or two people have travel insurance.

Plan group activities 

While your whole group may not want to do everything together, it’s important to plan group activities to enjoy your trip as friends or family. Planning ahead can help you come up with great group activities, whether it’s booking scuba diving lessons together or going on a hike in nature. 

It can be a challenge to find something that everyone wants to do with so many people, but you also don’t have to. Split into groups for some activities and then try to do a few things together. 

Find accommodation together

It makes sense to book lodging together when travelling as a group. While it may mean some careful planning of who is bunking with who, renting a house for your vacation can help cut down on trip expenses and ensure a fun travel experience. 

Whether it’s a cabin in the woods and you sit next to the bonfire to tell stories over S’mores at night or it’s an apartment near the beach for a summer party, traveling and staying together with a big group of people can be a lot of fun. 

Make reservations 

As a large group, it’s important to make reservations in advance, especially if you want to hit up Instagramable locations. From places you want to dine to activities you want to enjoy, it can be difficult to score a reservation without proper planning. You’ll need to use apps for reserving restaurants and consider a travel planner to help you book group tours and more. This way, you’ll be able to do all the things you want to do with the people you love. 

In Conclusion

Travelling with your loved ones can make for a great experience. However, it’s wise to prepare everything in advance and make sure everyone is on the same page to avoid stress and hassles along the way. From your lodging to flights, plan ahead and make sure that you have your reservations squared away for your large group.
