We’ve been crafting unforgettable experiences since 2006, when our founder Vanessa found herself kitesurfing in Tarifa and realised that there must be others out there who can’t really relax unless they switch their brain into 'holiday mode' by learning something new.

She returned with the mindset to create a place where anyone – no matter their age, ability or interests – can find a holiday that isn’t the standard beach break.

Cue, Not In The Guidebooks.

We help interesting people find equally interesting holidays to suit their passions, 5-to-9 hobbies and dreams. Beach holidays spent reading the entire summer book club list just aren't us. Instead, our trips promise experiences that are far from ordinary and will leave you hooked.
