Why choose Intrepid
Travel solo, together
Got an urge to see the world, but no one to do it with? We provide a ready-made travel crew and an expert local leader to help you make the most of your adventure. Plus, you can choose to bunk with a new friend or pick your own room for a small extra cost.
Great value
You’ve saved hard for your adventure and we’ll work even harder to make it worth every cent. That’s why we keep things affordable by building in loads of free time and optional activities into each of our itineraries, so you can pick and choose what you want.
Food goals
Sit down to epic feasts and enjoy some of the best food in town. Tuck into a plate of fresh ceviche in Lima, or maybe an authentic banh mi in Hanoi – better still, you can jump into the kitchen and learn to make it yourself. Our small group sizes means you get a seat at more tables – pass the sriracha!
Zero hassles
Relax and put your feet up while we take care of the logistics – like organising itineraries, transport and accommodation – so you can focus on the fun stuff like trying new food and finding local bars. Why waste hours agonising over every detail of your trip when you can leave it to the experts?
Local legends
Who best to show you the way around than a local? Someone who really knows the backstreets like the back of their hand. Unlike other tour companies who travel with imported Western guides, our leaders are connected with the area you’re travelling in.
Sustainable travel
Small group sizes and locally-focused travel means that our tours help support the local economy. This is how we keep our footprint light and offset the emissions created on our trips. For us, the only way to travel is responsibly, and we want to give our travellers the ability to be responsible too.
Moving and snoozing
Nobody travels to see the inside of a coach or hotel lobby. That’s why we use local transport and accommodation wherever we can (and throw in the occasional homestay, treehouse or houseboat for extra fun times). The places we stay are clean, packed with character and never far from the action.

Travel for good
We want every 18 to 29s adventurer to be a part of our mission to combat poverty, which is why we’re making a contribution to Friends International for every 18 to 29s trip booked. Friends International is a leading social enterprise saving lives and building futures for marginalised young people through education. With your help, The Intrepid Foundation has already contributed more than $100,000 dollars towards vocational training programs such as hospitality, welding and sewing.
This change means that by 2020, we’ll donate at least $250,000 to Friends International and other projects that help marginalised young men and women in the places we visit.
Read more about Friends International
Over 29?
We've got trips to suit every adventurer – no matter your budget, interests or travel style. If you can't travel on an 18 to 29s trip, you can always book a seat on our classic Intrepid Travel trips, which are open to all ages.
