Pickleball Trips, a family operation that includes pickleball Hall-of-Famer Scott Moore and his three sons – Jon, Daniel and Stephen – offers guided, private group trips to various destinations around the world for enthusiasts who want to combine pickleball, travel and cultural immersion.

Pickleball Trips now offers guided trips to 20 different countries, from Japan to Belize, Thailand and multiple European destinations.

Most of those trips cover multiple locations within a country, according to Stephen, the CEO and tour host. For example, when they take a group to Thailand, they visit the coastal region of the country as well as the large cities of Chiang Mai and Bangkok, showcasing the culture and daily life there.

“They get a lot of variety within the trip and engagement with locals,” Scott says. “And it’s not where the normal tourists go.”
