Two ways to travel with us
Pussywillow Journeys runs scheduled small-group departures and privately planned custom trips. The same guides, the same vehicles, the same local knowledge — you choose whether you join a set date or pick your own.
Scheduled trips vs private planning
Group departures are capped at 10 people and run on fixed dates. Custom trips are private and priced by scope, not per seat.

| Dates | Fixed spring and autumn weekends | Any Tuesday to Sunday, year-round |
| Price pattern | $240–$480 per person per day | $320–$650 per party per day, plus $90 per hour adjustment |
| Decided by | Our public itinerary | You and your planner, from scratch |
| Booking notice | 48 hours before departure | 10 working days before travel |
| Vehicle | 8-seat minibus | Sedan to 12-seat minibus |
