Intrepid trips are for travelers with a yearning to get off the beaten track. Whether you’re travelling solo or with a group of friends, there is an Intrepid adventure to suit your interests and comfort level. Each Intrepid adventure has a physical and cultural grading to help you decide if the trip is right for you. No special skills are required for most trips, just a sense of adventure and a curiosity about the world. Even on our camping trips, no previous experience is required; our tents are easy to set up, even for first-time campers.

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without negatively affecting the locals. On most of our trips, you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are, on average, 10 people. Our overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travelers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website.

While we can’t tell you who your leader is prior to departure, we can tell you they will be awesome. Our leaders are experts in their regions, some because they’ve been travelling there for years, others because they’re local to the region and can’t wait to show you around. On longer journeys, or ones that travel through more than one country, you may change leaders part way through – but this just means double the awesomeness.

For the majority of our trips, the minimum age is 15. An adult must accompany all children under the age of 18. Our overland adventures have a minimum age of 18. Younger children can join us on our family trips and Short Break Adventures, but make sure to check each trip for its minimum age, which is located on the trip’s overview page on the website. Most of our trips don’t have a maximum age limit, but a Self-Assessment Form is required for all travelers 70 years and over.
