Tailor-Made

Do you want to explore the world on your own terms? Create your unique Intrepid adventure step by step with us. We handle the planning, allowing you to relax, while you customise and take charge of your journey.

Intrepid Active v2

Multi-Active

For those of us who crave more adventure and can't do without trekking, snorkeling, or kayaking, Intrepid's Active range takes the excitement to the next level. They offer a diverse array of outdoor adventures in some of the world's most stunning locations. Picture yourself mountain biking in Madagascar, canyoning in Costa Rica, or whitewater rafting in the Amazon.

 

Intrepid Cruises

Adventure Cruising

Trade the crowded conga lines and cabaret shows of traditional large ship cruises for a deeper, more immersive cruising adventure. Intrepid's selection of small-ship cruises is centered around the destination – delving into local villages and markets, unraveling the history of each place, and making stops at smaller ports inaccessible to commercial cruise liners.

 

Intrepid Camping

Camping

Trade the crowded footpaths for rugged trails and embark on your next grand adventure: a camping expedition in the great outdoors. Whether you're eager to participate in setting up camp or prefer the comforts of premium accommodations in remote areas, Intrepid's camping tours cater to a wide range of travelers, from beginners to seasoned tent enthusiasts, and everyone in between.

 

Intrepid Cycling

Cycling

Whether you’re a Tour de France fanatic or just enjoy the wind in your face on two wheels, a cycling adventure can take you up the cols of the Alps or across the roof of the world in Tibet. You don’t have to be a Bradley or a Cadel – whatever your level of fitness and experience, Intrepid have le tour for you!

Intrepid Expeditions

Expeditions

Intrepid's exclusive range of very special adventures: their expedition trips. These are limited departures that tackle the unexplored regions of the world untouched by tourism – everywhere from Burma’s Ice Mountains to the salt lakes of Djibouti.

Intrepid Family

Family

There’s more to a family adventure than theme parks and resort kid’s clubs. Intrepid's carefully crafted itineraries allow you to create a memorable adventure together with your children. Experience authentic local culture with an English-speaking leader who will share their knowledge and passion for their country with you.

Intrepid Festivals

Festivals

For Intrepid, festivals are the smell of incense, the fizz of fireworks and the squelch of a fresh tomato. They arrive with the thunder of bespeckled dancers and wind down like a Munich beer hall hangover. They’re the lantern-lit, confetti-filled, mud-slinging reminder that life is there to be enjoyed to the max, and that there’s no such thing as too much fun in the name of pomp and ceremony.

Intrepid Food

Food

Food Adventures are about discovering new flavours while exploring the world. With a focus on street fare, local specialities, home cooking and urban food culture, these trips offer the authentic local experience that Intrepid is famous for, with an emphasis on cuisine.

Intrepid Long Trips

Long Trips

Spend anywhere from three to nine weeks circumnavigating continents, crossing borders and ticking off bucket list sites when you’re on a long tour. Intrepid believe more time means more experiences - so that’s more phrases learned, people met, food tasted, pictures taken and so much more.

Intrepid Short Breaks

Short Breaks

Whether you’re short of time and looking for a mini-break with a difference, or want to unwind on a beach after a big backpacking adventure, Intrepid's 2-5 day itineraries offer the same local, authentic experiences as their longer trips, but in a shorter amount of time.

Intrepid Polar

Polar

Cast adrift to the extremes of the earth and discover great white landscapes full of icy inlets and frozen coves. Experience the rush of setting foot on some of the world's most remote terrain, witness brilliant natural phenomena and come to terms with the sheer size and scale of our planet's polar regions.

Intrepid Sailing

Sailing

There’s nothing more relaxing than exploring a destination via its waterways. No traffic jams, no delays – just endless horizons and golden sunsets. And with Intrepid's range of sailing trips in Thailand, Burma, the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Galapagos islands as well as Polar cruises, there's bound to be a water-based adventure that suits you.

Intrepid Seniors

Seniors

You might be considered a senior, but you’re still Intrepid in our eyes. Intrepid's small group tours aren’t defined by age or ability; they’re designed for people from all walks of life who share a passion for travel. So, say goodbye to stuffy coaches and hello to leader-led, culturally rich experiences that’ll take you off the road and behind the scenes of your favourite destinations.

Intrepid Urban Adventures

Urban Adventures

So you’ve just arrived in a new city. You step outside your hotel, take a deep breath and… then what? Wouldn’t it be great to have a friendly local to show you all their favourite spots – the little bars, hipster cafes and cool underground galleries that tourists never find? Enter Urban Adventures.

Intrepid Trekking

Walking and Trekking

Explore on foot and make the most of the outdoors on one of Intrepid's group tours or on a self-guided itinerary. All accommodation is pre-booked and your luggage will be transferred from point to point. They combine the best bits of hiking without any of the hassles.

Intrepid Wildlife

Wildlife

Witness some of the world’s most epic wildlife experiences: the migrations across the Serengeti, the gorillas of Rwanda and Uganda, or the penguins on Antarctica’s drifting floes. If you’ve got a bit of Attenborough going on, then why not travel with the industry leaders in global tourism sustainability?
