We’re here to create positive change through the joy of travel.
That's our mission. Because done right, we believe that travel can be a force for good.
Since the very beginning, we've been about giving back and running our trips in a way that respects local people and places.
When you travel with us, you'll quickly understand our trips are about more than good views and great times, they're about connecting to the places we go, the people we meet along the way and the communities at the heart of every Intrepid experience. That's where we try to make an impact.
We've been taking travelers around the globe and connecting people from all walks of life since 1989.
That's over 30 years of adventures, visiting new places and old friends, and countless, unforgettable moments. More than 30 years of changing the way people see the world on small group trips with like-minded explorers and a local leader to show you around.
It's simple. Think immersive experiences, a perfectly sized group (usually 12 to 14 people) and a legendary local leader. Plus, our style of travel shows you the world in a way that respects local people and places.
Whether you’re longing for a wildlife-packed experience, on the look-out for your next food-flavoured adventure or packing up the whole family for a holiday, we have you covered. We have more than 15 themes across a bunch of adventures, making it easy to find the right one for you.
From basic to higher-end, we have four distinct trip types to suit your personal travel style.
With us, you can travel solo but you’ll never feel alone. Our trips give you ready-made travel buddies who are itching to explore (just like you), with the option to pay a single supplement if you want a room all to yourself.
A travel vacation should not only be an unforgettable experience, but offer solid peace of mind. That’s why USTOA created a consumer protection fund which protects consumers who book with our Active Members.
