Girls trip reviews from the organisers
The usual organisers. This time, in the photos.
I actually love organising trips and was a little hesitant about using a company because I didn't want to lose control over the weekend.
That wasn't what happened at all.
I still made the decisions. I still chose what felt right for my friends. I just had better information and didn't need to personally manage every moving part once we got there.
Would definitely use them again.
Normally on trips I'm the person carrying around all the booking confirmations and announcing when we need to leave.
This time I got to be in the photos.
That probably says everything.
I am normally the spreadsheet person.
Colour coding, confirmation numbers, addresses, reminders, who owes what. The lot.
On Saturday afternoon I realised I hadn't looked at my spreadsheet since we arrived.
Growth.

Girls trip questions, answered
What are the best girls trip ideas?
The one that makes the group chat say “that is so us”. Start with your girls, not the list: making something, being pampered, a bit of cheek, a bit of adrenaline, a view or a long table. Then pick your city. Heart the ones that feel right and share the shortlist with the girls.
What is a My Ultimate Girls Trip package?
A whole girls weekend, designed before you see it: somewhere to stay, the experiences, the food and drinks, and the order it all happens in, at one price per person. You choose the weekend that sounds like your girls.
Does every package include somewhere to stay?
Yes. Every package includes somewhere to stay, with one big living space where the whole group gathers and gets ready. Larger groups may be spread across more than one apartment.
Where can we do a girls trip with My Ultimate?
Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Every city has its own collection of girls weekends, so there’s something wherever you want to go.
How many people do we need?
Most packages start from six, and every package shows its minimum on its page. Fewer than that? Let us know how many of you there are. We cater for groups of many sizes.
How much does a girls trip package cost?
Every package is priced per person and shows its price on its page. Accommodation can change with your dates, so we confirm the price for your exact weekend when you check availability.
What if some of us don’t drink?
Plenty of packages are built around a workshop, a pamper session or a day out. Tell us who isn’t drinking when you check your dates.
Can we choose how cheeky it gets?
Yes. How cheeky it gets is your call. Choose the package with as much or as little cheek as your group wants.
Is My Ultimate Girls Trip a travel agent?
No. We don’t book a pile of separate bits for you. Every package is a whole girls weekend we’ve already designed, so you choose one weekend, not forty bookings.
How do we book?
Pick your city, find the weekend that sounds like your girls and check your dates. One of our team will be in touch to talk it through.
