What is the TripSpinner?

We at Paddletravel.com understand that in order to reach the new generation of consumer, we need to keep up with the ongoing trnasforamtion in technology. With the advent of the iPhones, and the Blackberry's, more an more people are preferring to browse online while on the move. The new generation "the Millennials" are very technologically savvy, and as such very educated witht he marketplace. They shop, pay bills, browse, and interact primarily through their phones. In order to attract this generation into travel, we have designed a very fun application which will provide hundreds of different travel combinations. This application will be designed initially for the iPhone consumer, however will be modified to work on Blackberry and Android platforms shortly thereafter.

TripSpinner Fun

TripSpinner will start off with an interactive 'slot machine' display. The user can manually drag their finger across the screen and isolate the fields they are searching for. 

For example, the first slot field is the activity field. The user can choose from Sea kayaking, to Rafting, to Canoeing, to Whitewater Kayaking, to Combination Excursions. The second slot field will isolate the country desired. Lastly, the last slot field identifies the duration of the trip.


Once the fields have been selected, the application will identify all the trips which fall within the categories selected. For the adventurous, who wish to "let it ride", the user can "shake" the phone, and the slots slide just like a slot machine!

TripSpinner Content

When the matches are identified, the user can view the possible matches. A highlighted expedition or trip will be at the top of the other matches identified. The trips at the top of the matches are reserved for the SuperStar and Exclusive Star Outfitters. 


The user can choose a trip, and view the description of that trip. Prices are not placed on the application, as prices change very rapidly, however, a requisition can be made from this point to receive a quote.


Favorites can be made once viewed, as well as trips can be searched for using the search engine, which is sponsored by Sweet Protection out of Norway.

We hope that with this smart phone application we can help the mobile user browse easily, conveniently, and interactively for a trip which suits their interest.

When can I download this Application?

TripSpinner is scheduled to be available for download through the Apple App Store for the Spring of 2012. We are refining the functionality of the application, and continue to implement content for the application. Stay tuned for developments in the application.
