18 to 35s tours

POV: your new besties have entered the chat

Move over rigid schedules and all-night partying – our 18 to 35s trips are designed for the next generation of socially conscious explorers. Don’t want to see Machu Picchu alone? You can visit all the bucket list sites and have off-the-beaten-path adventures with a whole new group of friends, all while stretching your travel budget a little further. Plus, you’ll have plenty of free time to roam on your own, at your own pace! Whether you're the photo friend who knows the best angles or the playlist friend who’s got the bops in the queue, consider us the planner friend who handles all the logistics. What’s a better way to forge lifelong connections than camping in the Sahara, anyway?

Where you can go

Why choose us

Bucket list itineraries

Our trips include big-ticket attractions as well as unexpected experiences that you can only find with a local leader. So, while you'll definitely check Tulum off the list, sharing a laugh with a local in a Mayan village might be the memory that stays with you the longest.

Great value

Want big-time adventures without the big-time price tag? Our 18 to 35s trips use local transport, stay in simple accommodations and have fewer inclusions to create a more affordable experience. That way, you can choose how to spend your travel budget and free time. 

Small groups

With an average size of 10 people, all in a similar age range and life stage, our groups are big enough to create good vibes but small enough to blend in with the locals. Whether you're travelling solo or with friends, you'll always have someone to grab a drink or snap a selfie with.

Legendary leaders

The best people to show you around are the ones who live there, and our local leaders know all the best bars, street food stalls, photo ops and secret spots. Consider your leader like an old friend who is psyched to share their culture with you.

Safety

We're committed to ensuring our trips are safe for everyone, including our travellers, leaders, crew and the communities we visit along the way. We're always up to date with world events and changes, so your friends and fam can rest easy knowing that you'll be well taken care of. 

Creating positive change

We're on a mission to create positive change through the joy of travel. That’s why all our trips are carbon offset, and we give back to the communities we visit with the help of The Intrepid Foundation. When you travel with us, you travel with purpose.

The people who make our trips great

Intrepid Leader Nhi Pham, Vietnam
Nhi Pham, Vietnam

"When you travel with me we'll be hanging out with the locals, tucking into the best street food and trying to master Vietnamese pronunciation (FYI, it's hard!). Whatever we do, we'll laugh a lot and make amazing memories together. Pack your best smile and count on me for the rest – I'll be your local buddy."

Intrepid Leader Paul Garrido, Peru
Paul Garrido, Peru

“It will be a pleasure to share our traditions and beliefs, take you to the most amazing sites and, most importantly, interact with the locals! Get ready for a behind-the-scenes tour where we’ll visit hole-in-the-wall restaurants and find the best picarones (Andean doughnuts) *chef’s kiss. I’ll be waiting for you here, in my beloved Peru."

Intrepid leader Huyen Nguyen
Huyen Nguyen, Vietnam

"You might come to Vietnam for the beautiful scenery, but you'll stay for the friendly people! I love introducing travellers to locals and having a chit-chat, going on spontaneous walks to explore the hidden spots and sharing stories to keep our beautiful culture alive."
