Testimonials

Mary F.

“I enjoy SOAR adventures for their unique opportunities on the water (I especially love the sailing trips) and the guided tours thru Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland. Historical cities and their guided tours of history have been exciting to see, and the unique opportunities for authentic food is mouthwatering!”

Mary Ann H.

“Each new SOAR/Day Trippers brochure is met with anticipation and excitement! No matter what your interest, there’s something for everyone: history (Civil War, historic cities); boating around the Chesapeake Bay; cultural (plays, music); beautiful botanical gardens (Chanticleer); or simply enjoying the many unique crafts made by the many talented juried artists.”

Pauline L.

“Without a doubt, these Day Trippers adventures are exciting and entertaining. I love being spontaneous and escaping for a day; challenging myself to have fun and memorable experiences in my life. The staff is skilled and passionate about my comfort and safety. It was just so relaxing to sit back and not have to worry about anything. The food has been delicious!”
