Operated by Intrepid Travel
Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and some friends. On that trip, they came up with the idea that perhaps others may be interested in this style of travel too. Just like that, Intrepid was born. Intrepid has come a long way since then, now giving over 100,000 travelers a year the opportunity to experience small group travel across all 7 continents. They use local transport, sleep in local accommodation from Cambodian stilt houses to Moroccan riads, and employ 100% local leaders. With three different travel styles including basix, original and comfort, themes ranging from cycling trips to family holidays, and itineraries crafted with the perfect balance of must-see sights and free time, Intrepid caters to every type of traveller no matter their age, budget or travel style. The company has grown but their mission remains the same: to change the way people see the world through sustainable, experience-rich travel

- Do I need a visa?

- Comparing the two operators, Intrepid and G Adventures, which is better in terms of safety?
Both ntrepid and G Adventures are VERY similar tour operators that focus on authentic grassroots travel. Both operators get large amounts of solo travellers on their tours with Intrepid getting over half of all the solo travellers out there. Both are extremely reputable and reliable tour operators, so safety is not something that you should worry about.
- I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?
If you are a solo traveller and you don't mind sharing you will be roomed with one or several fellow traveller(s) of the same gender for no additional cost. If you would prefer your own private room this can be arranged for an additional cost, please contact our customer support team for more information.
