Intrepid Travel has introduced more than 80 trips for 2027 across its walking & trekking, cycling, wildlife, explorer, expedition, short breaks, family and 18-35s categories.
The new trips respond to growing demand for lesser-known destinations and closer-to-home travel experiences, with itineraries designed around different ages, interests and travel styles.
The new trips include more than 50 new destinations, offering travellers new experiences while helping to spread the benefits of tourism across local communities.
Thailand’s Mae Hong Son region has been introduced as part of the new 14-day Hidden Gems of Thailand trip, taking travellers beyond Chiang Mai’s tourism hub to visit rural mountain villages in the country’s lesser-known north.
The 12-day Turkey Black Sea Adventure also features new destinations like Safranbolu, Kastamonu, Samsun and Trabzon, showcasing the distinctive culture and greener landscapes of Turkey’s Black Sea coast.
Intrepid is also increasing its focus on destinations within Europe, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, responding to rising interest in immersive experiences closer to home.
Six new trips have been introduced across the region, while New Zealand’s Hawke’s Bay, Aoraki (Mt Cook), the area around Mt Taranaki and Whakatāne have been added as new destinations.
This comes as bookings within Australia are up 46%, while demand for trips to neighbouring New Zealand has grown by 40%.
The new 7–day North Island Adventure in New Zealand and Australia’s 7-day Brisbane to Sydney Adventure also feature Indigenous-led experiences, helping travellers connect with local cultures and communities within the region.
More broadly, the new trips for 2027 cater to a wider range of travellers, with the introduction of 15 new family trips and tailored itineraries for younger, more budget-conscious travellers.
Active and nature-based travel also remain a core focus for Intrepid, with new walking and trekking trips in Spain and Sri Lanka, cycling adventures in New Zealand and Rwanda, and unique wildlife experiences across South Africa, Namibia and Kenya.
“Travellers are looking for more meaningful ways to explore, whether that’s discovering lesser-known places, travelling close-to-home, getting out in nature or finding experiences that fit different life stages and interests,” said Erica Kritikides, General Manager of Experiences at Intrepid Travel.
“Developed in close collaboration with our local teams, our new trips respond to these evolving preferences, offering immersive experiences for travellers while helping to spread the benefits of responsible tourism more widely across local communities.”
