In the US we typically don't use either "trip" or "excursion" to name the act of visiting a commercial/entertainment district for shopping or a bar/pub crawl.
In the circumstance you describe, I would most likely say something like:
a. Have a good time! Good night!
b. Enjoy yourselves! Good night!
c. Enjoy the rest of the evening! Good night!
