Not every journey. Just the ones worth taking.

Bespoke luxury travel designed entirely around you — from the first conversation to the moment you return home.

Curated. Extraordinary. Effortless.

Not every journey makes it onto a list. Not every trip becomes a story you tell for the rest of your life. At Tidal & Rare, we design the ones that do.

You bring the wonder. We handle the world.

Built by an ER nurse. Designed for the extraordinary.

Nicole Dunlap is an emergency room nurse and the founder of Tidal & Rare. She brings nearly a decade of high-stakes precision to every itinerary she crafts — obsessive about the details, relentless about the experience. She has stood in the turquoise shallows of the Maldives, watched the Northern Lights dissolve over Iceland, and sailed the Greek islands. The world is her inventory. All of it.
