Long trips & tours

There’s a great big world out there; why not explore it for a while?
These are adventures, and then there are long adventures. The difference? More time, more flavours, more experiences, more distance travelled, people met and places seen. If you’ve ever wanted to pack a bag, say sayonara and really travel, this is how it’s done.
Spend weeks exploring countries and cultures with trips long enough for you to feel fully immersed. While not quite ‘Around the World in 80 Days’, our long trips are epic journeys in their own right – and bonus, we handle the organising.
20+ day trips
Got a few weeks up your sleeve? Why not spend them journeying through the tropical embrace of Central America or traversing around snowy Scandinavia? You could also watch the world go past as we navigate you from North to South India or voyage from Spanish Europe to Moroccan Africa. One thing’s for sure: after three weeks of immersive, locally-led travel, you’re sure to have left the tourist label behind and emerge as an intrepid traveller. See what we did there?

Explore tailor-made tripsTrips across multiple countries
Looking to tick off a few countries in one trip without the hassle of doing it all yourself? See the sights in not just one but multiple destinations with our longer trips. Want to visit the ‘Stans’ in one go? Easy. How about covering the majority of Southern Africa in about a month? No worries. With us leading the way during border crossings, language changes, currency conversions and even regional dishes to try, you can simply sit back and enjoy the ride.

If you’ve ever wanted to really know a country, the key is spending time there. And even better - have a local show you around. Our local leaders are ready and waiting to share their cultures, history, cuisines and stories with you. Not to mention expertly leading the way as you embark cross-country. This is stepping foot into a destination and leaving with a true sense of what it means to those who call it home.

Intrepid was created on the premise of long travel when our two founders - Darrell and Manch - set off across Africa with a bunch of friends and no plans to come home anytime soon.
It didn't take them long to discover that when you stay a little longer in a destination, you can make the most of every mile and really immerse yourself in the heart and soul of a place and its people.
Whether it be three weeks, one month or even two months, spending that little bit longer means you’re sure to return with a hearty appreciation and thorough understanding of a destination.
Long trips work just like any other Intrepid trip; think small groups, local leaders, on-ground support and responsible travel choices. All the planning and day-to-day is taken care of by us, leaving you with the best part: the fun.
Where we can, we’ve opted for public transport over private transfers and partnered with the local communities.
On a long haul trip where you’ll be responsible for carrying your own bags, lighter is better. Most Intrepid travellers opt for a backpack, and when space is at a premium, prioritise items that serve multiple purposes.
Your local leader can help you organise a laundromat visit mid-trip, and many hotels offer convenient laundry services, allowing you to cut down on the amount of clothing you’ll need.
Travel documents, insurance and prescriptions are a must, a power bank, a good book and a pair of headphones or earplugs are nice to have.
Different to our shorter trips, you may not have the same group the entire time, as travellers may join in for certain legs of the journey. But to us, that just means more people to share the joys of travel with.
When a long trip is made up of two or more shorter trips, this will be noted in the Essential Trip Information section of your itinerary. If your roommate is only on one leg of the journey, you will be paired with a new traveller when the second or third leg begins.
Being of longer duration, it’s also likely you may have more than one local leader throughout the trip.
All transport during your trip is included in your trip price. Check the trip itinerary and Essential Trip Information section of your chosen trip for a full list of what’s included.
Visas are the responsibility of each individual traveller. You can find information on visa and entry requirements in the visa section of your Essential Trip Information.
Although it’s your responsibility to make sure you have everything you need to travel to and from your destination, our local leaders are on hand to facilitate border crossings and any on-ground intricacies that may arise.
