Travel company Black Tomato has launched a joyful new collection called See You in the Moment, inspiring groups to come together for a remarkable shared experience.

Some experiences are exponentially more meaningful and memorable when shared with those you love; a remarkable meal, a seminal event, an epic journey or challenge, a milestone celebration.

Inspired by a surge in demand for tailor-made private group travel post-Covid, from multi-gen families to large groups of friends, Black Tomato has reviewed the best and worst parts of group travel and developed a brand-new innovative product line, ‘See You in the Moment’, centred around some of the world’s most extraordinary and rare shared moments that bring groups together at a specific place and point in time.

The new collection is designed for groups to meet with their loved ones for compelling and enriching moments, spanning the globe.

Offering a new look at group travel, which is traditionally defined by compromise, from a practical perspective, See You in the Moment is a collection of over 35 remarkable travel moments, which can be incorporated into existing or newly created Black Tomato itineraries. The collection includes sub-categories like The Meal, The Event, The Challenge, The Journey, and The Celebration. Highlights of the collection include:

The Event: Discovering the Lost Songkran

Away from more crowded, commercialised versions, celebrations for the bucket-list Songkran festival take place in a local village in the untouristed Isaan region of Thailand, with the chance to forge cherished local connections.

Lost and forgotten traditions await discovery as guests observe the festivities at a temple, take part in a traditional rural temple blessing of the elders, join the night market merriment, and spend an evening with a historian explaining the origins and variations of Songkran across Thailand.

Back in a luxurious exclusive-use villa, a private celebration will include a joyous, no-holds-barred water fight with water guns, water balloons, a sand pagoda building contest, and a lavish Thai feast to wrap the day.

The Challenge: An Expedition to the Last extremity of The Andes

During this intrepid and first-of-its-kind exclusive expedition to the very tip of Tierra del Fuego, an almost unknown corner of the world, guests will tackle an extreme physical challenge together and celebrate their sense of esprit de corps, against the backdrop of crashing surf at the confluence of the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans.

Far from Argentina’s usual travel circuit, this high adrenaline trip combines helicopter and sailboat journeys, hiking and horseback riding, with specially built nomadic campsites along the way, all designed to test the group’s endurance and spark camaraderie, in total isolation from civilisation.

The Journey: Exploring Untouched Oceans Surrounding Poor Knight Islands

Onboard a privately chartered, sustainable motor yacht, affiliated with ocean conservation charity Live Ocean, which works to protect the fragile underwater ecosystems, guests will embark on a pioneering journey to explore untouched oceans off the remote, undeveloped Poor Knight Islands, in search of some of the world’s best diving.

Accessible only by sea, this life-affirming experience offers a new perspective on New Zealand and culminates in a collective dive into the subtropical waters amidst orcas, dolphins and rays, before spending the evening stargazing, mesmerised by the clear night skies devoid of any light pollution, replete with an astro-photographer onboard.
