Asia 18 to 35s tours

While Basic and 18 to 35s trips both let travelers choose how they spend their free time, the itineraries and activities for 18 to 35s trips are designed with younger interests in mind. Bucket list highlights may include kayaking on the Nile or zorbing in New Zealand.

Travelers on our 18 to 35s trips aren't just connected by age but by attitude too. We attract a friendly, open-minded and curious bunch, and many opt to travel alone, so there's no third-wheeling, we promise. Whether you're taking a gap year or are escaping that dreaded cycle of work, eat, sleep, repeat, we guarantee you'll find a travel buddy that matches your speed.

Our trips have a set itinerary, but we know the importance of freedom. We've made sure there’s plenty of time set aside for your own exploration, so you can ask your leader for a few tips and head out alone or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you —no pressure, though.

You’ll be staying in simple, well-located accommodation, and in most destinations, you'll stay in a twin-share room in a local hotel with ensuite facilities. Occasionally, you'll stay in multi-share dormitories with cool hangouts. We use authentic accommodation wherever possible, so you might stay in a traditional hanok in South Korea or a local guesthouse in India.

When rooming in a twin-share, we pair up solo travelers with another traveler of the same gender as per the gender marker on each passport. If your gender identity differs from what is indicated on your passport, please get in touch with us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. If you'd like your own space, some of our trips also have the option to pay a fee for your own room.

Most hotels, cafes and bars have wi-fi, especially in big cities and towns. In more remote places, or on treks or homestays, wi-fi or mobile data may not be as easily accessible. Your leader will give you a heads-up beforehand so you can call home or send a quick WhatsApp. They can also help you buy a local SIM card if you like to stay connected.

Both visa and vaccination requirements differ depending on the destination. Visa and entry requirements are subject to change and the responsibility of the individual traveler, so it’s always worth checking well in advance. 

Please see your local GP or travel doctor for details and advice about current vaccination requirements.

We’ll try our very hardest to accommodate all dietary requirements, but it can be difficult to guarantee in some out-of-the-way places. We'll let you know if there are places on your itinerary where this is the case. Please let us know your dietary requirements at the time of booking and we’ll pass the information on to your leader.

Our trips are guaranteed to depart once they have one fully paid customer, unless the minimum group size listed in the Essential Trip Information and/or Special Conditions state otherwise.

You sure do. Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re traveling internationally. Your leader will take down your insurance details on the first day in case they are needed during the trip, so make sure to bring your policy documents.

For travellers who reside within the European Union, Switzerland or the USA, the requirement to purchase travel insurance cannot be compulsory. However, the purchase of travel insurance is still highly recommended, and each country you visit may have its own specific entry requirements. For example, some mandate travel health insurance for all foreign travelers, regardless of their nationality. Travelers from the European Union, Switzerland or the USA who decline travel insurance when traveling outside their home region must sign a Travel Insurance Waiver Form at the Group Meeting, recognizing personal responsibility for emergency medical and repatriation costs should they arise.
