Winter Trips & Learning Adventures for Seniors & Solo Travelers 

At Road Scholar, we have winter retiree vacations across the globe. If you’re unsure where to book your next snow trip, we’re here to help. Below are some of the top winter getaways for seniors:

• Costa Rica: If you’re looking for white sand beaches, Costa Rica is one of the best December trips. Here, you can experience the pura vida way of life while relaxing by the shore. But Costa Rica has more to offer. Here, you can traverse scenic paths with views of volcanic mountaintops, identify rare wildlife in the rainforest, and taste fresh, authentic cuisine.

• California: If you want to stay within the United States, consider a winter solo trip to California. As one of the most geographically diverse states, there are endless opportunities in the Golden State. From visiting national parks like the Channel Islands to Yosemite and Joshua Tree or learning about the history of Hollywood, we have educational tours that can help you escape the cold this winter.

• Southern Europe: Spending winter in southern Europe is a great way to find some warmth and visit popular tourist attractions without lengthy lines and busy crowds. Popular southern Europe winter tours include Madeira, Portugal, Sicily, Italy, and towns on the French Riviera like Nice.

• Hawaii: For an unforgettable winter adventure, consider a trip to the islands of Hawaii. Here, you can explore tropical rainforests, Volcanoes National Park, and diverse ecosystems or go snorkeling to discover unique marine life in the coral reefs.

• Tanzania: One of our unique winter getaways for seniors drops attendees off in Tanzania, where you can go on an authentic safari to spot the Big Five: the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and African buffalo. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about Tanzanian culture by interacting with locals and tasting authentic, mouth-watering cuisine.
