Take the road less travelled to find underrated, crowd-free places and experience the joy of the unfamiliar.
Some destinations make it onto our bucket lists because we hear they’re unmissable. Others are more alluring because we’ve barely heard of them at all. In 2023, we’re seeking out the lesser-known on a range of offbeat adventures. Will you join us?
Embrace the unusual
Been there, done that, got the trashy magnet? Whether you’re looking to escape the crowds or simply craving something new, we’ve got the goods to reinvigorate your wanderlust this year.
Venture into the unknown on an expedition through Vanuatu, Bhutan or Tunisia. Hike lesser-known trails in far-flung Peru and spot wildlife in the underrated isles of Comoros. Wherever you go, you’ll be blazing a trail – and we’ve got your back the whole way.

Trip pick: Bosnia and Herzegovina Expedition
"My first night in Bosnia and Herzegovina encapsulated why I love to travel with Intrepid: being welcomed into a local's home, sharing burek and dolma washed down with slivovitz, a local plum brandy, and exchanging stories with my hosts and fellow travellers from across the world. It was the beginning of an unforgettable adventure."
