Inside The Popular Flakes Trips To Secrets Akumal Resort

For nearly 40 years, you've spent your mornings with Mark and Paul, The Breakfast Flakes on Cat Country (THANK YOU!), and for almost as long, many of you have been joining them in Mexico come wintertime.

When the first Flakes Trip debuted, it was a low-budget cruise.

Around 30 Cat Country fans joined the guys on that first trip. Over the years, the Flakes Trip has become so popular that it now takes four flights out of Billings to get everyone to Mexico (the airline won't let us book an entire plane, so it's roughly 150 people, spread over four flights).

For the last decade or so, Cat Country's group of fun-loving travelers has returned to what has become one of Mark and Paul's favorite getaways, Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya. This stunning, all-inclusive resort is rated Five Diamonds by AAA, and was voted the #1 Hotel in the World in TripAdvisor's 2025 Travelers' Choice Awards.
