The world is more enjoyable
in good company.
Small groups of 6 to 13 travelers, plus one of us as a guide from Spain. Destinations chosen with criteria. People filtered before confirming your place. You travel with people, but as if it were your trip.
Traveling in a group does not have to be lose what makes you unique.
What a SunZen trip will never be.
If you've ever experienced a trip organized in a hurry, with flags and 50 buses, you know exactly what we're talking about. That doesn't happen here - and we'll tell you why.
It is not a 50-person flag trip.
Groups of 6 to 13 travelers. We all know each other. We all talk to each other. There are no «strangers at the back of the bus».
It's not a «if it's Tuesday, Belgium» tour.
We do not run. We stop. We have breakfast without haste. We have afternoons free. The goal is not to fill in the itinerary, it is to live what we have to live every day.
It is not a catalog that we resell.
Each trip is designed by us, with our trusted local partners. We don't buy it from a wholesaler. That's why every SunZen is unique.
It is not a mandatory tribe.
You share what you feel like sharing. If one day you want to stay on the beach while the rest go up to the temple, you stay. We accompany you, we don't force you.
Four things that make us different.
Because «group travel» can mean many things. Here's what exactly it means when SunZen says it.
6 to 13 travelers. Never more.
Plus one of us as a guide from Spain. In total, 14 people in pairs - because the rooms, the tables, the transports are thought in pairs. And because 14 is the size where everyone knows each other, no one gets lost and every traveler matters.
We talked to you before.
Before confirming your place, we have a video call with you. Not to judge, but to fit the group together. The best trips are the ones with the right people around. We take the time to make that happen.
SunZen rhythm, not catalog rhythm.
Early mornings only those worthwhile. Unhurried breakfasts. Afternoons free on purpose. We combine adventure and comfort on every day of the trip., because the best trips do not choose between the two: they integrate them.
Accompaniment from Spain.
One of us - Rakel or Toni - travels with the group from the first flight to the last. We are not a call center on the other side of the world. We are two familiar faces, with the same language, solving with you whatever happens.
We choose to the group.
This is what we are asked the most at the beginning. «What's this about you talking to me first?»
We explain it to you straightforwardly: a group that fits transforms the trip. A group that doesn't fit together spoils it. And in 15 days of travel, that is very noticeable. That's why we spend as much time as it takes to make sure the group is the right one for each destination.
It is not a «casting» or an interview. It's a 20-minute conversation where we tell each other how we travel, what we're looking for, what we don't like. And at the end we know if we fit in - or if another SunZen would be better.
Things that mark if the group fits.
Your pace of travel (early mornings vs. long dinners).
What moves you from that particular destination.
Previous group experiences (good and bad).
Level of flexibility in the face of unforeseen events.
What do you expect, what do you NOT want to happen.
If at the end of the filter you do not fit in that particular trip, we suggest another one. We never reject on principle - we just look for the outlet that fits you.

Can I travel alone?
Yes, and it is designed to work well. We know that those traveling in small groups usually come alone - We experienced it first hand before creating SunZen, and that's why the pre-filter is so important: so that the group has the right energy before flying. About the rooms: it depends on each trip. The specific details of the accommodations can be found on the page of each destination.
What if I don't fit in with the group?
We do the pre-filtering precisely so that this does not happen. But if, when you arrive at your destination, you feel that the rhythm is not your own, we will help you adjust: a day off, a change of room, a sincere conversation. You will not be left alone with the problem.
When do I know if there is a place and can I make a reservation?
We publish the dates when we have the departure confirmed. When you see a destination with a specific date and available seats, you can now start the processFirst the filter call, then you confirm with a deposit, then you pay the rest according to the payment schedule we send you. The details of each departure - dates, price and seats - are on the page of each destination.
What if something unexpected happens and I have to cancel?
We have clear cancellation conditions (we send them to you before confirming anything). You will never sign something with fine print. For major unforeseen events - illness, border closures, family emergencies - we always prioritize human judgment over the letter of the contract.
Can I go with my partner, friend or family member?
Of course. The pre-filter would be done with the two people (a joint conversation). Just remember that everyone has to have their own criteria for travel - we don't want someone to come «dragged in» because their partner insists. That doesn't go over well in any group.
Choose your destination, we talked to you.
