Travel Website

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.

LocalGetaways inspires, motivates, and stimulates consumers to visit local travel destinations through delivery of relevant, intelligent, and captivating local travel content.
