Intrepid Travel has launched its New Year sale, offering savings on selected trips across the globe.

From now until February 11, travellers can save up to 20% on a range of small group adventures.

Hosted by an expert local leader, these trips offer immersive cultural experiences with a small group of like-minded travellers.

The discounts apply to hundreds of adventures in more than 90 countries across Short Breaks, Active, Family and 18 to 35s travel styles.

“Booking early means you’re more likely to get the travel dates you want while avoiding those last minute price hikes,” said Brett Mitchell, Managing Director ANZ.

“It also gives you extra time to save so you can enjoy those once in a lifetime experiences while you’re away.”
