LocalGetaways was founded on a simple premise: As the economy continues to decline and the hassle of air travel worsens, today’s travelers prefer to spend their vacations closer to home. In response, we created LocalGetaways, the only online travel company that offers exclusive deals and travel advice on local getaway trips throughout Northern California.

LocalGetaways is the only online destination dedicated to helping Northern Californians find quick, easy, and accessible getaway trips in their own backyard by offering a whole new way to find and book local travel adventures. No other destination on the Internet has more to offer those who want to get away, save, and explore.

For those seeking a short, affordable break from the rigors of the work week, there’s now a dedicated website that unlocks all of Northern California’s most treasured deals and destinations. Think of LocalGetaways as your one-stop-shop for all things related to local travel in Northern California.
